Derek & Kayla Photography

Don't hesitate if you are thinking of hiring Derek & Kayla for any of your events!!! They are absolutely amazing. From the beginning, they had great communication with us. Since we live out of state, we met over the phone to discuss our vision for our wedding. We then had a beautiful engagement session with so many amazing photos. Prior to the wedding, they reached out to us to review if there were specific photos/poses we wanted. We got married on a Saturday, and Derek & Kayla helped make the day run smoothly. We got back our sneak peek photos only a couple of days later and were already obsessed. The full photo album was sent to us within a few weeks, and we got WAY more photos than we expected. The only hard part is that we love all of our pictures so much, and we can't choose our favorites to get framed for our house! We will definitely be using Derek & Kayla in the future for photo sessions, and we highly recommend them to everyone in the Bay Area!

Derek and Kayla Photography exceeded all our expectations on our wedding day. From the first meeting, they impressed us with their professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for capturing our special moments. Throughout the event, they seamlessly blended into the background, yet managed to encapsulate every emotion, laugh, and heartfelt exchange. The final photos were nothing short of breathtaking; each image radiated with the joy and love we felt that day. Their attention to detail and creative eye truly made our photos unique and unforgettable. Working with Vins and Vows was an absolute delight, and we're immensely grateful for the beautiful memories they've given us to cherish forever. If you're looking for photographers who not only capture moments but also create art, D&K is the perfect choice.

Stop what your doing and inquire - you won't regret it! They are a truly remarkable husband and wife duo. We feel transported when we look back at our photos! So happy!

We couldn't be more excited about our photos from Derek and Kayla, they turned out so beautifully! They truly took the time to get to know us, including a free engagement session as well was a huge plus. We felt so comfortable on the day of - we have ZERO regrets about booking with them, and hope many others can experience what we did - you will cherish these memories forever!

We hired Derek & Kayla for wedding photography, with both taking photos for events over three days. We were pretty nervous since we’ve seen some bad wedding photography and intrusive photographers at past weddings, and we’re super awkward posing for photos. D&K offer a complimentary engagement photoshoot, and the time we spent with Derek during that session - not to mention the beautiful and genuine photos we received! - were immensely reassuring. Communication ahead of the wedding was streamlined, and over the three days they were so kind and flexible, regularly checking in with us to make sure we were doing okay and going above and beyond the roles of photographers. They were great about taking photos without pulling people aside or out of conversations to pose. We asked them to prioritize candid photos of ourselves and our guests and do minimum editing. They executed perfectly, and we love the results - we’re having a tough time choosing which photos to print!

We just received our wedding photos back (a few weeks after our wedding) and Derek and Kayla did a PHENOMENAL job, organically capturing all the moments of love and joy that we will treasure forever. Working with Derek and Kayla was a breeze - they were consummate pros that were also super fun and down to earth. They were incredibly attentive to our questions (before and after booking), and they graciously accommodated us when we had to reschedule our engagement shoot several times. When Kayla had to back out due to falling sick week-of, they were in constant communication and assured us repeatedly that their backup second shooter would deliver the quality and style we were expecting (the final product did not disappoint!). When we had some day-of issues with other vendors (in no way D&K's responsibility) that threatened to derail our day, Derek stepped up (unprompted) and got the issues sorted so that the trains ran on time and we could enjoy our wedding day. We are overjoyed we chose Derek & Kayla as our photographers and could not recommend them enough.

Derek and Kayla and their additional staff are an amazing team! They included an engagement session before the big day which helped us talk through requests and get more special shots to use at our wedding. When it came to the big day-they were patient, flexible, dedicated to our feedback and the photos turned out stunning! We are so thankful to this team for helping us celebrate and capturing the big and small moments throughout our wedding. Definitely use them for your next event!

Derek and Kayla just delivered our photos and we are in LOVE. These two are the best in the biz - fun, talented and know exactly how to capture authentic moments from your big day. They are professional, organized and all around wonderful humans. I also can be very awkward in front of the camera and Kayla was so helpful with directions and knew exactly how to make us both feel comfortable and relaxed. We also did our engagement photos with them and absolutely love them. Thank you, D + K!

We loved our photographers! Only reason we give a 4 star and not 5 is because we personally wish there was just slightly more direction for us when posing as we aren’t models and professions (like hold my bouquet lower, or tell people to stand up straight or closer) but we could be being overly critical because we haven’t done this before so not sure what to expect. We love our pictures and are excited to start filling our house with them. Every time we look back on the pictures we are immediately brought back to the happiest day of our lives and we feel the joy and love all over again!!!

Wonderful addition to our wedding day! We are grateful to have had Derek be our wedding videographer + are so happy with the results! Extremely professional + always communicative!

Derek took Elegance and Class to a whole new level with our wedding. We were blown away by our photos. Best decision booking with Derek & his prices are unbeatable for the quality! Thanks Man.

Still swooning over our wedding photos from our wedding. We found Derek through our wedding planner and right when we jumped on the phone with him we knew our personalities were a match. We went to the most gorgeous place for our engagement shoot that he recommended, which built our bond so we were comfortable in front of the camera at our wedding. So happy with our choice, and would make it again ten times over!

Derek killed it at our elopement in Yosemite last month! Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He made us feel like we've been friends forever! Highly recommend Derek, especially if your camera shy like we are!

We used Derek with Argeo Productions to shoot our wedding in August. He was very professional, so fun to work with, and we are so happy with our photographs and video! 10/10

We used Derek for a couples shoot and were beyond pleased. He did such a great job making me and my boyfriend feel comfortable and even cracked a few jokes and got some great smiles from him! We loved our experience with him and always recommend him to any couple we come across.
