Journal - Derek Anson Photography blog. This is where I share work I’ve done and thoughts on my images and photography.
Welcome to my blog. This little corner of the Internet is where I share recent work, the story behind the image and a few thoughts. I mainly document weddings, but I also provide a memorable portrait experience for families and couples in love, so there's a mixture of marriages and portrait experiences. If you're looking for something specific, please use the search box below. Cheers.
The images I love the most are emotive and very touchy-feely, and I guess unsurprisingly hands feature heavily in my work.
I love it when a celebration is in full swing, here is some amazing dance floor action.

When working with children, I like to encourage their natural playfulness and wonder by using fun prompts and games. My approach with this image is so simple, nothing complicated, and the reward is an image that is full of joy.
I cannot wait to enjoy the lazy days, busy days, park days, bike rides, endless football games, the zoo, the beach, visiting friends and family, the weddings, the portrait shoots, the ice cream, and even the tantrums, I welcome it all.
A very nice portrait experience with the lovely Victoria & Ashley, a freezing cold February afternoon at Lake Meadows park in Billericay.
A few of the Polaroids from Becki & Lewis' wedding day at That Amazing Place. My first time at the venue and I hope it's not my last! Lovely venue with excellent helpful staff, I was spoilt and very well looked after.
I don't have any traditions or formalities when it comes to photography, especially wedding photography. As for formal group shots on the wedding day, I only arrange those which are requested. Before the day, I contact my couples and ask them to think about what group shots they really want, if I'm going to start directing and moving people around, and more importantly keeping people from the bar! Then I want to make sure it's something my couples are actually interested in and want.
