Derby Wedding Photographer | Tom Fletcher Photography
Meet Tom – your Derby based wedding photographer.
If you're looking for a Derby wedding photographer who captures genuine moments, real emotions, and the story of your day as it naturally unfolds, you're in the right place.
I'm Tom, an award-winning wedding photographer based in Derby with over five years of experience photographing weddings across Derbyshire and throughout the UK. During that time, I've had the privilege of documenting hundreds of unforgettable moments at some of Derby's most beautiful wedding venues, creating timeless images that couples will treasure for a lifetime.
As one of the trusted wedding photographers in Derby, my approach is all about telling the authentic story of your wedding day. From the excitement of getting ready to the emotional vows, joyful celebrations, and those fleeting moments you may not even realise happened, I'll be there to capture it all without interrupting the natural flow of your day.
Photography has always been a huge part of my life. Before specialising in weddings, I spent years photographing landscapes and wildlife. Wildlife photography taught me patience, observation, and how to anticipate those once-in-a-lifetime moments—skills that now help me capture genuine laughter, happy tears, and heartfelt reactions throughout every wedding I photograph.
For me, wedding photography is about much more than taking beautiful pictures. It's about preserving memories that transport you back to the happiest day of your life every time you look through your gallery. Whether it's your loved ones emotional reactions, your friends laughing during the speeches, or a quiet moment shared between the two of you, these are the memories that become even more valuable as the years pass.
My style is relaxed, natural and documentary-led. I won't spend your day posing you for hours or taking you away from your guests. Instead, I'll quietly capture the real moments as they happen, allowing you to enjoy every second of your wedding.
Of course, there are times when a little direction helps. Whether it's organising family group photographs, creating an epic confetti tunnel, or heading out for some relaxed couple portraits, I'll guide you in a fun, easy-going way that never feels awkward. I love using light-hearted prompts, little jokes and interactive moments that keep you laughing rather than worrying about the camera.
One of my favourite memories was after setting up a champagne spray photo. As the champagne exploded everywhere and the couple burst into laughter, they turned to me and said, "That was amazing!" Those are the moments I love creating—natural, joyful memories that feel just as good as they look.

What my couples say………...
“Tom, absolutely ACED the task at hand, going so far above and beyond what was expected, in order to ensure our entire day was captured beautifully.
The results have totally blown us away, and we are now able to re-live the day, down to the tiny details, whenever we want to! We have photographs of moments that we never knew even happened, with so much more feeling and attention to detail than we could have ever hoped for!
While searching for a photographer, we spoke with more people than we did with any other supplier, as we felt the photos were very important to us ...... we simply stopped looking, after we first met Tom via a quick video call.
Meeting up in person for a beer, and our engagement shoot some time later, we really got to understand how he worked which was a really nice touch, breaking the ice nicely before the big day! All this just made us certain that we’d made the right choice taking the time to look for the right person!
The results speak for themselves, and we were very luck to find him, Thanks Tom, for everything 👍🏻”
