Derek Couts Photography

I'm Derek. Marriage is an interesting thing, isn’t it? I’ve been married to my beautiful wife since 2014, and I promise, not every day is exciting. But there are days where it’s the most exciting journey you will ever take. I know the same will be said for you in your own journey of life. The ups, the downs, and the all arounds. Every step is worth it. • Christ follower • Married since 2014 • Wedding photographer since 2015 • Slightly deaf in my left ear • Over-enthusiastic fan of the Lord of the Rings

Our experiences are our own – there are no two that are alike. While we may have similarities in our stories at times, as a whole, we write our own stories. Every laugh, tear, joy, and pain comes together to tell of your story. It’s one that cannot be experienced by anyone else, so the closest thing we can do is to tell our stories in the hopes that our similar experiences resonate with those we hope to influence. Your wedding photos aren’t memories. They’re hardly your story, because it’s told from my perspective. Your wedding is the story I tell – but the experiences they highlight are the elements we share.
