We had the pleasure of having Derek as our wedding photographer. We couldn’t have asked for a more friendly, accommodating and professional person to capture our big day. Derek went above and beyond for us and the pictures were amazing! Would highly recommend!

From the very start Derek was absolutely amazing. I don't think we could have picked a better photographer or person to be in charge of capturing our day. Fantastic character and an even better photographer. Can't thank him enough for his commitment from start to finish. Will most definitely be recommending him to everyone we come across and hopefully enjoy his work again for any future events. If he isn't too busy. Thank you again!

We couldn’t be happier with Derek’s work as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he was a true professional—attentive, friendly, and incredibly talented. Derek has an amazing eye for detail, capturing moments we didn’t even realise happened.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will go above and beyond, we highly recommend Derek. He helped make our day unforgettable, and his photos allow us to relive every special moment.

We were so happy working with Derek on our special day. He was professional, attentive, and put us at ease from the start. Derek took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and answered all our questions. On the day, his warm personality had everyone relaxed, and he captured all the important moments, even thinking of small details I’d forgotten. We’re still struggling to choose our photos—they’re all amazing! I couldn’t recommend Derek more; you won’t regret it

Derek was fantastic—polite, positive, cheerful, and professional. He made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, including my French family who doesn't speak English. He listened to our ideas, was flexible, and captured so many beautiful shots. We’ve received countless compliments on the photos, and we couldn’t be happier with his work. We highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for the full package in a wedding photographer!

What a lovely bloke. Derek calmed my nerves with his humour and the way he just got us. Nothing was too much, even with strong personalities around. He listened to what we wanted and got amazing shots, including some sneaky funny ones. Many guests commented on how much they liked him. He felt like a friend I’d had a good pint with down the pub. Couldn’t recommend him enough and hope he makes someone else’s day as special as ours.

This is the best photographer in the city of Nottingham. My American family fell in love with this man. So much that I almost thought I would have a new dad by the end of the night. He made my day so special, me and my wife were so comfortable around Derek. When we went away with him for photos during the day it was like a comfort for it to be us 3 having a quiet moment taking amazing pictures. If approved I will name my first born child after him! Jokes aside-Our day wouldn’t have been the same without him

Derek was the perfect wedding photographer - putting us and our family and friends completely at ease to get wonderful candid shots of our big day. Derek was the first wedding photographer we met and we instantly knew he was right for us - he has a kind, warm and friendly demeanour and was really easy to work with. We got our photos back promptly and we're very happy with our photos.

We came across Derek at a local wedding fair, he was very professional but also great at herding our guests together!

Derek was great throughout the whole process, he was thorough with wanting to know all the details even down to the dogs names!

He made us feel at ease on our wedding day, and our guests mentioned how brilliant he was!!

Many thanks for all your hard work Derek!

The moment we met Derek at the wedding fair, we knew we wanted him to capture our day. He was easy to talk to, offered great suggestions, and had the personality we were looking for. On the day, Derek helped us have fun in a stressful time and got amazing photos, from natural light to backlit night shots and even some with smoke. The photos were easy to access on his website for both us and our guests. Highly recommend him!

Derek is incredible. From our first meeting we knew he was the photographer for us. It's not just the excellent quality of the photos but his whole attitude, customer service and how he engaged with everyone on the day. He didn't feel like a strange man taking photos of us from a corner. More a guest who was really trying to help capture the magic of the day. Every single one of our guests has come to us saying how impressed they where with him.
Thank you again!

What can you say about Derek. Well he is very very good at his job. We hired him to do our wedding photos. Derek was fantastic, from the start he was cheerful talkative and very easy to get along with. Definitely knows his trade. He caught the whole atmosphere of the event. We would most definitely recommend him if you are after a professional service from the very start all the way through to receiving your finished photos.

Derek was amazing from day one. His sense of humour, creativity, passion, and professionalism were evident. We decided instantly that we wanted Derek to capture the moments of our special day. Our pre-wedding shoot was so much fun, and Derek made us feel comfortable and at ease. On the wedding day, Derek blended in seamlessly with the bridal party and guests, capturing the day beautifully. He’s efficient, and his work is art. We can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Derek!

It was an amazing and unforgettable experience having our wedding pictures taken by Derek McAllister. He was very professional and creative with how he did the photoshoot with us. We really felt how passionate he was with photography. I will surely recommend him to my friends. Thank you so much, Derek!

I can't recommend Derek McAllister highly enough, it was an absolute pleasure having him alongside me for my wedding - the consumate gent, great fun, and absolutely cracking photographs. He truly helped make the day - and me! - feel special and helped us create some truly lasting memories. Thanks!!

Derek is a fantastic photographer who captured our wedding day so perfectly. He made us feel relaxed and at ease despite us both not being naturals infront of a camera. Derek is reliable, communicates well and it was really a pleasure having him as part of our special day, he really went above and beyond and his passion for his work is outstanding. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a photographer - thank you Derek!
