Derek Henderson North East Wedding, Pet and Family Photographer

'I will freeze time, capture your special day and treasured memories so you can relive them forever. I will help you proudly display them in a range of stunning albums, framed prints and wall art.

But don't just take it from me. Check out the testimonials'.

We hired Derek for our wedding across at Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa over in the lakes and we couldn’t be happier. From the moment we booked, Derek was professional, friendly and genuinely invested in our wedding! Derek and Bev really made us and our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera and fitted themselves into the event brilliantly!

The photos are beautiful, really well edited and we cannot wait to get our physical album! Derek captured everything we hoped for and more we didn’t even realise!

If you’re looking for someone who’s friendly, very talented and really cares about your big day look no further!

Once again Derek, thank you so much! Sam & Lauren

Hi. I’m Derek Henderson, a professional wedding photographer, pet photographer and family photographer. I’m a member of the Societies of Photographers and I live on the beautiful North East Coast. I have over 30 years photography experience and I cover the whole of the North East including, Sunderland, Newcastle, Durham, Teeside and Northumberland.

Life is full of emotion and I thrive on capturing those beautiful magical moments.

People say you can’t stop time. Maybe not, but I can freeze time for you. Just long enough to capture those once in a lifetime moments on your special wedding day or fun, action packed walks with your pet or the calm, tranquil pose revealing your pet or child’s personality which will become your treasured memories forever.

I want you to experience and be able to relive your memories as if you were still there.

Let me create memories for you in an enjoyable, fun and relaxed way.

I passionately believe gorgeous photographs should be printed and proudly displayed which is why I offer a free £50 credit towards selected Albums, Framed Prints and Wall Art products.

I also offer a free design service to help you visualise how your stunning photographs will look in your chosen frames.
