Derek Anson Photography

Firstly let me start by saying that Derek as a person is very friendly and easy to get on with from the get go, he saw that I was looking for a photographer and called me to introduce himself and we spoke on the phone for 10 mins just chatting about plans and his style of photography. Derek’s communication is very good and he will update you and ask for little details you may require as the day is getting closer, but he is very happy to adapt as he goes, and he was very good at this on the day. As you can imagine on a wedding day it’s hard to find all your guests when they’re drinking and having a laugh all over the grounds! Derek caught some very special moments on the day. Myself and my wife were very happy with the way Derek handled the day, he was very professional, controlled the scene perfectly and made us feel at ease with his comedic approach. It’s a day that we will never forget and the photos are beautiful, candid and I’m also happy we chose Autumn as the month to get married, Derek really made the scenes pop with colour and takes me back to the day every time I look at them. Derek you’re a star I will definitely be using you in the future for any special events we want photographed! Thanks so much, Stuart and Annabelle.

Hi, Derek, Oh WOW!!!! Thank you so much!!! We love them all :D We look like we're on laughing gas for most of them, reflecting how much we enjoyed the day! We think our guests will love them too; there are some beautiful shots that we can't wait to put in frames :D I'm so glad you took photos of all the little things, too - I didn't even notice you taking them!! Master of subtlety :) It's amazing what we had forgotten about until we saw the photos, and now the day comes flooding back to us.

We got Derek at short notice for our wedding. We only booked for 2 hours. He came early and started taking photos straight away. Our ceremony was running late and I was so anxious and he made me feel so relaxed like I’d known him for years. He captured every special moment and all the photos were amazing. I would recommend him to everyone and will definitely book him again for other special occasions.

The absolute best in the business! Derek’s documentary-style photography captured our day so perfectly. We were over the moon with our pictures. Derek had an extremely calming manner and the ability to make us feel so at ease throughout the day. He was organised, punctual and professional. We had so many guests come up to us and say “What a nice man your photographer is”. We were so impressed, he will also be my sister's wedding photographer in December. Thank you so much, Derek

Del captured the most beautiful, natural, candid, funny photos & more. Del was fantastic not only for his photography but for just being himself & fitting into our wedding like one of our own! All our family commented on Del being a lovely person & brilliant photographer who made everyone feel at ease, we can not recommend him enough & will definaltey been in touch in the future for some other events! Thank you so much, Derek!

Derek provided photography for my 3-year-old's birthday party. He arrived promptly, needed little direction and was very creative/artistic in the photos he produced. He stayed a little longer than planned so that we could get some family shots. I am so grateful for engaging Derek for the party as I now have some wonderful memories captured in these photos.
