Natural Wedding Photography That Feels Like Your Day


Hi, I’m Derek Anson / Del / Delboy, an experienced wedding photographer creating natural, story-driven images for couples who want to enjoy every second of their wedding day.


No forced smiles. No endless posing. Just real moments, real people, and a seriously good celebration.


Based in Essex and travelling across the UK, I shoot using a mix of digital and 35mm film to create relaxed, natural photography that feels exactly like your day did — full of love, laughter, and all the little moments you didn’t even realise were happening.

“Del was amazing—he captured our day perfectly. He blended in so naturally we barely noticed he was there, yet the photos are brilliant. Thank you so much!”

"Derek shot the most beautiful moments of our wedding day, we would pick him again in a heartbeat!"
