Derek Fowler Photography

Derek Fowler Photography I'm an on-location portrait photographer. I love what I do and I hope it shows! Thanks for taking a look at my work. Please, give me a call or email.

HI, I'm Derek, and I am from Goode, VA. A small town with one gas station and everyone knew your name (not always a good thing). If you couldn't tell from all the amazing images I take photos. The secret is I am so much more than that, cool right! I am a dad of two amazing little girls who I photograph way too much. My beautiful wife constantly tells me that I have never met a stranger in my life

and I could entertain a beige wall. My photography style? It’s raw, real, and authentic. I’ll do just about anything to make you laugh, and I promise I won’t make you close your eyes and put your foreheads together (you aren’t sleeping!). I make it simple for you and your groom, keep it light, and focus on those precious candid moments that naturally occur between two people who are madly in love. Years from now, I want you to look at your wedding photographs and have all of those memories come flooding back. The bliss, sentiment, light, and laughter from the day you wed should be so real, you almost get to relive it all over again.

Congrats to Lauren and Joshua at The Stonehurst Manor

Story time: There are moments in life you just have to wait for. Some small, some huge, others you kind of forget you were waiting.

The moments of waiting are the ones the seem to hit 100x harder.

I’ve known the Vaughan’s for 12 years. When I got started in photography I asked Megan and Mitch a million questions about everything. She always was so helpful and graceful. Mitch showed love through letting me work out with him a few times and I instantly regretting it but we also cheering each other along on life small victories. Iron sharpening iron.

As the years flew by, we shared life’s journey parallel from each other as family and responsibilities keep us just close enough that the occasional text chain and gifs filled our individual peaks and valleys.

Then came the greenhouse.. the dream, the recovery, the reminder the God’s silver lining is not our own in the storm. Mitch persuaded me to come help stain one day. He climbed around the top like he could fly and I stayed closer to the ground complaining of the heat.

More time passed and I got to watch as Megan and Mitch created an illusion of time, a moment of peace, and the purpose of community. Watching at a distance, respectfully, in awe.

This week I was blessed to have that forgetful small moment of emotions as I stood there about to photograph my first wedding at the

The moment was a reminder that a hard chapter in life is never the ending of a story.

Thank you to Halley and John for allowing me photograph your day.

Turn on the spot lights! I don't get to do this too often but lighting up the dance floor with everyone's phone cameras is a great way to get everyone back in the dancing mood.

Sunsets in Central Virginia are pretty unpredictable but yesterday we had faith that all rain dancing we did would pay off and man did it ever.
