About this vendor
Wedding & Family Photographers based in Birmingham, AL.
Derek & Jennifer Crosby married in 2001 and founded Greater Image Photography as they found their passion while photographing their son, Elijah. Greater Image is founded on the premise of finding your identity in Christ. Too often in this world we base our image off of what we see in the mirror and what we do as a profession and not as who we are in Him. Through the friendships made from behind the lens we hope to not only capture the image in front of us, but display the reality of your image in Him. If we can do that, then our purpose will have been fulfilled.
We love capturing your life moments as they happen; whether in the comfort of your own home as you welcome a little one into the world or miles away as you say "I Do".

Derek and Jennifer are hands down the best photographers! You can tell they both genuinely want to get the perfect shots and are very committed to doing that. They are super helpful when it comes to little things like fixing your hair or dabbing sweat - something that I appreciated so much on my wedding day in the middle of all the chaos. They make the whole process easy because they know exactly how to pose you and are great at making you feel comfortable through it all. It was the best decision for us to book them for our wedding and would highly recommend them!
The Crosby's were amazing and truly captured our special day the way I hoped they would. Throughout all the ups and downs I had on our wedding day, they were so supportive and so easy to work with. They had never shot a Catholic wedding before, but they still blew us away with the results--I would have never guessed they hadn't done it before!!! Highly recommend this couple and business, I promise you won't be disappointed. 100/10!!!
Greater Image was so great to work with! They were very personable and chose to get to know us rather than just seeing us as a “job”! They made sure we were comfortable and everything was perfect for our wedding day! They helped plan and pitch ideas and also took into account what we wanted! They were super accommodating and so kind! We can’t wait to use them again!
Great communication, attention to detail, and just simply great people! I am very pleased with my experience and our pictures turned out amazing.
Jennifer and Derek were both very professional. They were quick to respond to every question that I had. They made the day go by so well and were very attentive to every detail. I have not stopped looking at our pictures since we got them and don’t believe I’ll be able to stop!
Greater Image Photography did a great job of making my husband and I comfortable on our wedding day! They constantly made suggestions for poses, so we never had to feel awkward.
Derek and Jennifer are professional, kind and the best of the best! Even our guests were talking about how professional they were! We love our pictures, they are timeless and beautiful and we will cherish them forever.
Derek and Jennifer are the BEST with photography. They captured so many special moments when doing my daughters senior pictures. So much that I had them do my best friends wedding a few months ago. They truly put their heart into what they do and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results. I highly recommend them for all your special occasions:).
Jennifer and Derek Crosby are the most talented husband-wife duo that not only captures and perfects the details newlyweds love in photos, but they also are a model example of what living in love looks like years into marriage. 10/10 would recommend them every time.
We absolutely loved our wedding photos! They were so sweet throughout the whole wedding and knew how to handle our camera shyness! Their communication was excellent! I would absolutely 100% recommend them to everyone!
My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate to have chosen Greater Image as our wedding photographers. Without a doubt, they are the absolute BEST in the business! From the moment we met Derek and Jennifer, their genuine and kind nature shone through, making us feel instantly at ease.

Their attention to detail and dedication to their photography were evident from the very beginning.
When it came to capturing our special moments, Derek and Jennifer exceeded all expectations. Their creativity and skill truly brought our engagement and wedding photos to life.

We look forward to having Derek and Jennifer document many more significant milestones for us in the future! Their talent and professionalism are unmatched, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

The end result of photography is what people usually see- do you have nice photographs to remember your big day and the answer is yes. We do. But. As we all know that’s not all that goes into making good memories of your wedding. Greater Image went above and beyond to help us out in a time of unexpected need. They made us feel like we were old friends and always treated us like they were just as excited as we were about the wedding. Everything was very clear as to what they provided and we were asked about what we were expecting in return. They were very attentive to get candid shots at the reception also. They worked as a team and were very efficient. Communication was always great. Overall we were very pleased with Greater Image!
Derek and Jennifer at Greater Image Photography captured every special moment during our wedding! Their thoroughness and attention to detail along with very personable personalities during the whole wedding day was greatly appreciated. We were very pleased with the number and quality of photos that we received in a timely manner after the wedding!
They are AMAZING!!
I felt so beautiful in every single photo!
They made my big day so special and captured every moment so beautifully.
If you want your wedding day captured in the most perfect way possible, you got to use Derek and Jennifer!
They are rockstars!
Jennifer and Derek were amazing to work with. We are so pleased with our photos from our wedding. And we had a blast hanging out with them all day. Communication was a breeze and our gallery was available quickly.
Derek and Jennifer are amazing! My pictures are beautiful! They captured they basics as well as those little moments you didn’t realized were so special until you see your pictures and know you’ll treasure that shot forever!!!
Great to work with! Jennifer and Derek were super easy to communicate with and even easier to work with. We love both our engagement and wedding pictures! They’re perfect!
AMAZING!! I could not have been happier with our pictures. They took so so many & the different options we had were awesome! It's so hard to pick our favorites because we loved them all. My bridal party has not stopped talking about how fun they were & they made me feel so relaxed & not stressed out. I would recommend them to any bride, you will not regret it!
When we found Greater Imaging Photography we knew they were the perfect ones to capture our special day. They made sure we had a fun and memorable experience while also making sure we were comfortable. Their photography skills are phenomenal. We are so in love with our engagement and wedding photos. They are both such sweet people. And were very communicative on any questions we had. We couldn’t have picked better photographers.
If you hire Greater Image, be sure you get in writing which photographers you are hiring. We hired Derek and Jennifer to shoot my daughter's wedding. On the day of the wedding, Jennifer showed up with a replacement for Derek. (An amateur replacement with no imagination). Everyone knows that Derek is THE photographer. Anyone who hires Greater Image assumes they are hiring him. We later found out that Derek was at another wedding. My daughter absolutely hates her photos.
I am so glad that we found Greater Image Photography for our wedding! The quality of the pictures for their prices is unbeatable!! Not only are the pictures amazing, but they were SO nice and easy to work with. Getting pictures taken was the only thing I wasn’t worried about on my wedding day because I knew we were in good hands. They made us feel comfortable and were just fun to be around. They helped to set up a timeline for day of and were flexible when the weather wasn’t cooperating. They even sent us some amazing sneak peaks the day after. I’m so grateful we found them!
Jennifer and Derek are absolutely amazing!! They go above and beyond! I would definitely recommend them for your big day. They have great personalities and make sure you have everything you want/need for your big day! They even helped with things they didn’t have to like helping open the food containers for the reception and putting my socks on 😅 They also did my stepsisters wedding as well as my cousins newborn pictures. Look no further because these are the people you need! 💓
Derek and Jennifer are a 2 for 1 deal! We absolutely adore them and enjoy working with them. They are so kind and really care about their work. They have photographed our wedding, birth, and lifestyle sessions! I highly recommend them to everyone!!!
Greater Image worked with us to do engagement pictures, bridals, and wedding pictures. Derek and Jennifer were amazing with communication, quality of pictures, and had a quick turnaround for a very reasonable price! Their personalities are amazing and you can easily tell they love what they do. Even with Covid-19 screwing with our original wedding plans, we were still able to have the best day ever on our scheduled date and Greater Image was wonderful in working with us to accomplish this mission.
Derek and Jennifer went far beyond our expectations! My husband and I wanted something unique, and we got MUCH more than we could have ever imagined. They flew all the way to Grand Teton National Park just to make it happen for us! If I could give them 10 stars, I would.
Greater Image Photography always goes beyond expectations. They work tirelessly to make your engagement and wedding pictures something you will treasure. We could not have been more pleased with Derek and Jennifer @ Greater Image Photography.
Derek and Jennifer were like part of the family when we finished our wedding with them! They were so fun and personable. They worked hard to get us great pictures. I promise if you hire them for ANYTHING you will not be disappointed!
Derrick and Jennifer were a pleasure to work with! Derrick takes awesome shots and Jennifer has an impeccable eye for the little details. We were so happy to have their upbeat and fun attitudes with us all day. When we ran behind, as most weddings do, they never made me feel rushed. Best decision I made in the bazillion of decisions I second guessed! Our rainy day pictures came out amazing! I am so happy to have found them and will certainly call Jennifer in the future for our family photography needs. Bonus: they were beyond reasonable in their fees and flexible with payment arrangements. I'd give them 10 stars if I could!
They are the best! Highly recommend. Super professional, kind, and talented.
Very professional and fun. These guys know exactly what they are doing! Very kind and patient with a large party but man.. Those pictures.... breathtaking.
We have worked with Derek and Jennifer 3 times now, and each time has been wonderful! They were so professional and patient on the day of our wedding when everyone was running an hour behind but helped us catch back up and everything run so smooth! I will forever be grateful for the photographs of the moments they captured of the best day of my life. Hands down a 5 star team! We love Greater Image!!!
Jennifer and Derek were wonderful! They were so relaxed but still managed to get everyone in the places they needed to on time! They were so nice and helpful. From the beginning it felt like they were part of the family! Would 100% recommend to anyone!
Jennifer and Derek were awesome! They were in the right places at the right time and we hardly even noticed they were there. They captured our day so well and we love our pictures!
They did such a great job capturing the sweet moments from our day. Plus Jennifer is a professional wedding dress fluffer. She made my dress look absolutely beautiful in ever picture. I highly recommend.
Jennifer and Derek were great! They were so patient and professional while still being personable! They kept all of us laughing and even the kids cooperated for pictures. We have LOVED the pictures we have seen so far and cannot wait to see the rest!! Definitely recommend Greater Image Photography!

If you want photographers who truly cares about their clients and their pictures, Greater Image Photography is it. This adorable husband and wife duo are just the sweetest. My husband and I are recently married and the amount of detail and patience they had for us and our wedding party was everything we'd hoped for and so much more. They directed us every step of the way to perfectly capture our special day. We are VERY pleased and highly reccomend them too all!
Derek and Jennifer are so down to earth and so amazing. It was raining cats and dogs for hours on my wedding day and they lifted my spirits. This wasn’t just another gig for them. They really invested their time and energy into making my day the best. Not to mention the preview photos look nothing short of phenomenal. I would 100% recommend them and may use them for future events! Thank you so much for all you both have done!!
They are the absolute best! So fun to shoot with! They are a dynamic duo! They will do whatever (with reason) 😋 to get a great shot! They have the best personality’s too! I would definitely pick them all over again! Their pictures are fabulous, gorgeous, and breathtaking! I love this couple!
I could have not asked for better photographers to capture the best day of my life. I am so thankful for Derek and Jennifer. They truly go above and beyond for their clients, and are two of the most amazing people I have ever met. I cannot recommend them enough to people! If you’re looking for a photographer, please choose them!
They listened to what I wanted and liked. Arrived when they said they would and was reasonably priced.
Greater Image Photography was the absolute best choice I could have made for my wedding day. My fiancé and I are over the moon with their performance. They are professional, friendly, and FUN to work with. What can be made into a stressful situation was light, airy, and overall easy! We had so much fun with Derek and Jennifer and will definitely keep in touch with these talented individuals to capture many more of our special moments. They did everything in their ability to give me the session that I wanted without a complaint. This couple equals everything you NEED for a fabulous, easy-going, beautiful moment in your life.
Derek and Jennifer were a DREAM to work with! They understood what I wanted for my wedding pictures and executed them PERFECTLY. Lifelong photographers for sure! 10/10.
You guys were excellent!!! You captured every emotion and special moment at our wedding! You guys definitely made the day even more fun and beautiful! Best in the business I believe! Me and Mary Katherine couldn’t have been more please!

Jennifer and Derek photographed my wedding at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens on March 30, 2019 and they were so amazing! The photos turned out fantastic and were absolutely beautiful. They are both super professional and very easy to work with, not to mention extremely reliable. They really captured our day in the most beautiful way and I’m so thankful to have had them be a part of it. Please keep these guys in mind for any occasion you have that you want photos for. I will definitely be using their services again the next time I need photos done.
I love how they kept it real. Their humor had us laughing which is hard to pose a genuine laugh.
I can’t recommend Greater Image enough! Not only is their work beautiful and professional, but Jennifer and Derek are amazing people who really care about capturing the important moments. I was very worried about having the perfect photos from my wedding and they did not disappoint. I received them back in less than two months on a flash drive where I can print as many copies of each photo as my husband and I want. You won’t regret letting them shoot your wedding or any other special event!
Derek and Jennifer were fabulous! They were so very understanding from the beginning. Their prices are so reasonable and the quality is absolutely amazing. They don’t make you feel rushed or bored either which is great! They are such fun and genuine people to work with. We have also done Christmas photos with them and I am just as pleased with those as our engagement and wedding photos turned out! We will be using them for any event in the future 😊 seriously though, they are amazing and the pictures are beautiful!!!!!
This is a husband and wife team who works great together! Very professional, understanding, and down to earth. They both will make u feel comfortable & laugh. Everyone knows the more comfortable you feel taking photos the more photogenic you will appear in your photos. They arrived ahead of schedule. Made good use of time in between pictures shooting the little decorative/extra photos that all wedding albums have. This photographer has perfectly crafted the art of photography with natural lighting. Absolutely gorgeous photos.
You could not go wrong with choosing greater image!! We just got married on October 6, 2018, they did our engagement pictures, bridal pictures, and wedding day. Derek and Jennifer are amazing to work with!! Our pictures are amazing!! Would highly recommend! 10/10!
They where absolutely AMAZING. I couldn’t picture my day all over again without them. I have found life long friends & life long Photographers. They helped in SO many ways, more than any other photographers ever would! Love love love the pictures we got and they didn’t break the bank! Over all, just an Amazingly blessed couple doing what they are called to do. I look forward to them capturing more memories to have forever!
Wow!!!! I’m so in love with my photographers and their work. They really went the extra mile for me!! Came all the way to the beach and worked 2.5 hours getting the perfect shot before the wedding day even got here. They followed me around every where I went and captured all the perfect moments and details. Then to top it off, I got ALL my pictures edited and mailed to me. Thanks Derek and Jennifer for making our special day be the best ......even during a tropical storm!!! Can’t wait to call you guys for the next family photos.
Such sweet people to include in your day. They make taking pictures fun rather than routine. My pictures turned out absolutely amazing. They also got me my pictures back quickly. We loved having them there!
