Dear Derek & Karen,

We wanted to say a massive thank you for the stunning photos! We love them and can't believe you managed to get so many with the awful weather. The shots with the umbrella really don't show just how windy, wet and cold it was for you to get that perfect moment. We hope you've both dried out properly!

We were both a bit nervous when we met for the engagement shoot but both you and Karen were so approachable and patient. It was so nice to take a walk and get to know both of you. I think that had you not been the lovely people you both are we'd have been worried about how the wedding day would have gone.

You were truly amazing with keeping both of us calm on the day and helping to ensure the day ran as smoothly as possible. It certainly wouldn’t have been as memorable an experience, if we didn’t have you there to help us through it.

Thank you both so much!!!

We just wanted to say a huge Thankyou to Derek for the wonderful wedding photos. We are so pleased! Derek and his partner are so friendly and approachable. A meeting prior to the wedding was so helpful- Derek gave us lots of tips (and how to pose!) and discussed with us in detail what we were looking for, this meant that on the day he knew exactly what we were after and the photos came out perfectly. He was super organised and ensured we got all the photos we had asked for. Derek knew how keen we were to get some light photos outside so even stayed a little later and spend a long time settjng this up to ensure we got these. Thankyou so much! Would highly recommend!

To Derek & Karen , We just wanted to leave you a little message to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU again for doing such a fantastic job on our wedding day. You were both so amazing. We can’t thank you enough. We literally couldn't be happier with your professionalism, talent and just being such lovely people to be around. Now we have received the pictures back we are absolutely over the moon, you have got them so perfect. Your talent and passion for photography is 2nd to none. Our journey with you from the minute we enquired has been exceptional. We will highly recommend you to everyone you were excellent and every has commented on how lovely you both were. ❤️ thank you again xxx

Dear Derek,

We would like to personally thank you for everything you did in making our day so special. Having been a little nervous of having photos taken, you made it feel so easy and natural. You are such a kind and wonderful person that you made us feel even more special on our day. From start to finish you have been so professional and we seriously will never forget what you did for us. Having Claire attend was a lovely bonus and again please pass on our thanks, she was also so warm and kind and everything we wanted.

If you ever need anything at all please do not hesitate to ask, you have touched our hearts by helping us on the day and we will never forget you.

Take care,

Rich and Hayley Cupper

From the moment we spoke to Derek from Rivendell it was clear that there was only ever going to be one choice for us. He made the whole process very easy, both my wife and I felt completely comfortable about being in the spotlight, something neither of us particularly enjoy! His professionalism during our conversations and our special day was spot on - prompt, efficient and still able to capture each moment just so. During the day we hardly noticed him and his colleague as they went about their business, they were great with our guests and getting the shots we wanted without being imposing. I have no hesitation in recommending Rivendell, their hard work resulted in them capturing some truly beautiful moments that we absolutely love.

Absolutely fantastic gentleman I used him for my wedding and from start to finish he was brilliant from the engagement shoot right up until the end of my day was so glad I booked him would highly recommend him to anyone and my photos I received were fantastic I will cherish the memories he gave me of my special day top quality man and top quality photos thank u very much derek

Massive thank you to Derek for our photos, they are amazing. I highly recommend him. He was very accommodating to what we as a couple wanted from our photos and he made my very nervous groom relaxed enough to smile in them. Even though our outside shots got rained off he made it work so we still got everything we wanted. We will cherish our photos.

Dear Derek,

I am the Mother of Sam Wyatt, you took the photos of Sam and Bex’s wedding 7th May 2016, Hook House Farm 2016, I just wanted to say they are FABULOUS
I have ordered but it was really hard to choose. They look really good so just wanted to thank you so much, It was a very stressful day with my inlaws falling over etc.
But you made it all look very relaxed and so so happy, as we all were, there was a lot of love for the couple and your photos show that. You were so discreet ( or maybe I had too much prosecco) no really you were that’s why you have captured so many moments that were special and people were not aware of you taking them, that’s a skill in itself.

Many many thanks for a superb job would highly recommend you.

Best regards Debbie Wyatt

Just like to say thank you agin I couldn't ask for a better person to do are day for us your work is unbelievable and your such a good guy I would always recommend you to others
