AUTHENTIC MOMENTS FROZEN IN TIME

Authentic Moments frozen in time

We are a passionate husband-and-wife photography + videography team based in Napa County in California. With a love for vibrant color and timeless images, our clients describe working with us as a "breath of fresh air". We LOVE to be a part of the planning process along the way ensuring a day even more encapsulated with love and that feels just as you dreamt. We love hiking, good food, weddings (duh!), great music, and laughing at our adorably crazy kids and dogs. We love to have fun and get to know our clients on more than a client basis - so if you are in for a good time - we are the right fit for you!

While Napa and Sonoma is our home base, we love to travel all over to capture our couples wedding days!

Client reviewS:

Derek and Kayla came highly recommended by our planner. it was a easy choice their style is nothing short of magical.

from the moment we met them we were so happy to have gained such positive people in our lives. their communication was amazing through the process and we still connect every few months.

They have a gift for capturing genuine emotions and candid moments that were evident in ever photo we received back quickly!

we have been honored to be a part of over 150 weddings! 

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!
