D.C. \\ ONE FRAME
April, 2013 \\ Washington, DC \\ A few weeks ago we went out to DC to do some engagement sessions of some amazing couples! We explored the city, experienced art, and ate (so much) amazing food! We’ll be blogging it this week. Just wanted to let you know it was coming ;)

I am straight-up swooning over these. Particularly that first portrait of Adam and the close-up of just Christine. And the two following the one of just Christine. And the last one. And … all the rest. Good job.

I love them so much Benjamin! They are AMAZING! The ones of my cousin Tim and Joel look like they came out of GQ :D lol
The White Dress Co. \\ Awesomeness
March 2013 \\ Columbus, OH \\ The White Dress Co.
First off, Let me inform compel, anyone in the market to be buying a wedding dress, to take a moment right now and open up that link for The White Dress Co‘s website. The dresses are beautiful, the environment is stunning and Jackie, the owner, is dead set on finding you the perfect gown! Secondly, I’d like to express my gratitude for being asked to photograph their grand opening! Not only was it a beautiful event full of love and kindness but it also gave me the chance to make a few new friends, and I can’t wait to see some of the artistic work that we will be able to create together!
This is Jackie, she is awesome. Her store is awesome too. You should check it out.

Adam + Christine \\ MARRIED
April 2013 \\ Austin, Texas \\ Last weekend I had the pleasure of being IN (just a small roll…. BEST MAN!) my friend Adam’s wedding as he married his love, Christine! It was fun to set down my cameras and be involved in other ways but there were times when I just couldn’t help myself… let’s face it, I am a photographer. So here are a few iPhone shots from the wedding, I have a handful of Hasselblad ones being processed as we speak… be sure those will hit the blog as soon as possible too :)
As I was responsible for a toast at Adam and Christine’s reception I took a lot of time to think about these two. I prepared about 3-4 pages of notes and used maybe a sixth of the words I had come up with, major props to all of you best men and maid’s of honor out there… you make it look easy from where I usually sit behind a camera. The one thing that I said that I am proud to echo here on my blog is that I am proud to be their friend and I am blessed and encouraged by their deep, committed, loyal, and beautiful love. I love you guys. Congratulations yet again!

Laughter Encouraged \\ PHOTOBOOTH
Admit it. You want to go crazy and wave your hands like you just don’t care in front of a camera with silly props. (maybe with a friend, or a complete stranger… we don’t judge) My name is Alex, and as a part of the Derk’s Works team, I am the main PHOTOBOOTH photographer. The PHOTOBOOTH is insanely fun, and a great way to turn a party, into a “PAR-TAY!”
So grab a friend, a crazy prop, perhaps a drink (or two…), and with a little coaching we’ll make some hilarious, awesome pictures together!
The PHOTOBOOTH is a great way to have fun with friends and make lasting memories of a special time. PHOTOBOOTH brings out the zany side in everyone… even Grampa and your insane Uncle Chuck. (You know, Uncle Chuck… the one who still wears the 80’s sweaters and still uses the VCR to record his TV shows.)
Here are a couple of my favorites from 2012. There are plenty more over HERE!
Want to learn more and have Derk’s Works shoot a PHOTOBOOTH for you??? “YES of course! What kind of question is that!?!?” Drop us a line at shootme@derksworks.com or check out our main webpage at www.derksworks.com
LET’S SHOOT!
We love our photographees SO MUCH that we are giving away a shoot!!!!! Check out our FACEBOOK page for the details!
What If \\ Film

( I like making people laugh with me for photos because it is an easily accessible way to get really close to someone.
The following laughs are real, but they were also slightly contrived. )

That image of Jenny and Josh blows my mind!!!!! These are all so great!! Miss you guys fiercely. xoxox
The first and last ones are special! (Not implying that the rest aren’t, just that those stick out to me the most.)
Thanks! I think those are my favorites too. I love the romance of the last one.
Love all of the doors and gates. It’s so symbolic. I can’t wait to meet you at the wedding!
Love Love Love!
