We were so impressed with Derryn as our wedding photographer. He took so many fantastic photos on our wedding day without me noticing he was there. He was very patient, especially when our son was not wanting to be photographed! We were so pleased with how quickly we were able to view our photos afterwards. Thank you so much!

CLIENTS SAY

Professional and Derryn goes the extra mile!
“Working with Derryn was amazing. He was so thorough and thoughtful and always had our best interests at heart. He managed to capture so much fun as well as encourage us to take stock and have a moment together after our ceremony for some photos which am so glad of. He also managed to be sooo inconspicuous which was so impressive. He really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable before during and after our wedding and we have come away with so many beautiful photos and videos that captured the pure magic of the day. Sooo glad we found him and working with Derryn and Sam was so worth every penny. Could not recommend more!!!”
Phoebe & SaulGrow Wilder, Bristol
Fantastic wedding photographer
“Derryn and Sam provided a fantastic photography service for our wedding. They were professional and reassuring from the start ensuring they understood what we wanted and had all the details of the day to help make it run smoothly. It was one less stress throughout the day knowing Derryn was taking care of the photography and helping keep everything on track. The end result were amazing, with photos and videos that captured the essence of the day in a deeply personal way. He had a great ability for capturing those moments that sum up the atmosphere of the day and was always respectful of the significance of the wedding. Can’t recommend them enough!”
Rebekah & JamesSt Michaels Without Church, Bath
We loved the style of his photography
“Derryn was recommended through a friend, and he took some beautiful engagement shots of us a couple of years before we got married. We loved the style of his photography, professionalism and the fact he put us totally at ease.
For our wedding, we had a meeting prior to discuss what we wanted and he visited the venue with us so he could have a look at the best locations.
On the day we were not blessed with the weather, but Derryn made the most of the small amount of time we got outside, and also got lots of beautiful indoor shots aswell. We worked so hard on the day to ensure we got all the group and couples photos we wanted.
Derryn and Sam are professional, genuinely lovely people who really care about their work. We are over the moon with our photos and will cherish them forever. Thank you so much! X”Sophie & ArronAbbots Court
I can’t recommend Derryn enough!
“When our original photographer pulled out I thought we were doomed to find a replacement but Derryn being available turned out to be one of the best wedding decisions we made. He went above and beyond to photograph our wedding. When you see these weddings in magazines as beautiful as they are they always seem a bit staged what Derryn managed to do with our day was truly capture the joy, love and laughter that we shared on our day with our nearest and dearest. After the wedding we heard two things from our guests 1)how much they enjoyed the wedding and 2) just how brilliant Derryn was and that was before even seeing a single photo. From a single day Derryn has given us a lifetime of memories and I simply can’t stop looking at our photos. Thank you doesn’t feel enough to show just how grateful we are for what he did for us.”
Rachel & DanUfton Court
Don’t hesitate to book Derryn!
“Derryn photographed our wedding at Priston Mill in March. The booking process was incredibly easy and Derryn was amazing at working within our budget. From our initial consult with Derryn, we could tell he was a great fit for us. Derryn’s relaxed style was awesome and our guests all agreed how fun he made the photos His focus on capturing the feel and dynamic of the day, letting couples and guests be themselves means he really replicates the magic of your wedding day. Derryn is an exceptionally talented photographer, the photos he delivered are the perfect way to remember our day and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend booking him for your wedding.”

EXCELLENT Based on 48 reviews Posted on Google Chloe Neate9 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can we say Derryn was truly amazing on our wedding day! We first spoke to and hired Derryn two years ago to capture our engagement photos. At the time, it was something completely new for myself and Daniel, and we definitely didn’t consider ourselves photogenic people. Derryn was so relaxed and bubbly, picked the perfect spots for photos, and by the end of the shoot we were completely comfortable and didn’t even notice everyone around us. Our engagement photos were just perfect, and from that moment we knew we had to hire Derryn for our wedding when the time came. Planning our wedding was incredibly important to us, especially as we were having a Harry Potter themed wedding. We wanted to make sure we hired someone who understood us, the magic of the theme, and the little details that made our day unique and Derryn definitely exceeded every expectation we had. Throughout the entire process, Sam and Derryn were kind, supportive, and incredibly organised. Sam always reached out at important moments during our planning, which we really appreciated. Wedding planning definitely wasn’t easy for us, especially with changing the venue multiple times and moving the date, but Sam was always quick to help and update any details. It never felt like we were just another booking to them. Sam and Derryn are two of the loveliest people, and they truly care about your day. On our wedding day, Derryn was calm, relaxed, and spoke to pretty much everyone, which made the whole day feel even more special. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, allowing us to just be ourselves and enjoy every moment. Even though we had an idea of what to expect, it was still so helpful having Derryn gently guide us throughout the day. What we appreciated most was how beautifully Derryn captured the feeling of the day. He didn’t just photograph the big moments, but also the tiny magical ones we didn’t even realise were happening, the quiet emotional glances, the laughter between friends, the proud smiles from family, and all the little in between moments that make a wedding so special. He always spoke to us about the next photos he had planned and made sure we were happy with everything. Through the photos, they truly told the story of our day. We also received so many compliments from our guests throughout the day, and even now about how lovely and amazing Derryn was. He was full of energy and seemed to be everywhere, capturing absolutely everything. Sam kept us updated about our sneak peek, our photos, and our highlight film, which we really appreciated. When we finally received our gallery, we were completely overwhelmed in the best possible way. Looking through the photos felt like stepping back into the day again, every emotion, every laugh, and every happy tear. They captured every bit of magic that was happening and even highlighted all the beautiful Harry Potter details that meant so much to us. These photographs and films are something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. They didn’t just capture photos they captured memories, feelings, and moments that we’ll be able to relive forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who is full of energy, will move/climb over tables, go out in the rain, and even climb in trees just to capture the most beautiful pictures, then Derryn is the one for you. He is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely passionate about the couples he works with. We truly couldn’t recommend Sam and Derryn more. Thank you for capturing the magic of our day so perfectly it honestly felt like a little bit of real magic. Mr & Mrs GoodmanPosted on Google Kel M22 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t ask for a better photographer honestly.

The experience of working with Derryn and his assistant Sam was amazing from start to finish. We had such a great feeling from the moment we spoke to him on the phone and even though our wedding day was completely chaotic, with families that are impossible to organize, Derryn did the most amazing job. I hardly even noticed he was there and all the photos are just stunning. He perfectly created the colouring and authenticity I asked for. Derryn is a super talented photographer and videographer and I would not hesitate to recommend him or call him again.
