Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Awarded Best of Zola
Dereck Davis Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding photography. Dereck has an incredibly friendly, welcoming, and fun communication style that put me at ease, as I'm usually shy and awkward posing for photos. His artistic eye and casual style resulted in gorgeous, natural-looking photos that perfectly captured the laidback vibe of our wedding day. Even during more orchestrated moments like the family portraits, Dereck kept things upbeat and moving smoothly. His easy-going manner encouraged everyone to relax and enjoy themselves rather than stress about getting the perfect shot. Our wedding photos are stunning yet look effortless due to Dereck's ability to work with the existing lighting and scenery. We felt like we were hanging out with a close friend rather than posing stiffly for a photographer. I wholeheartedly recommend Dereck for wedding photography - his beautiful, joyful images will help you remember the love and delight of your special day for years to come.

Looking for a photographer is difficult and so expensive. We talked to many and even though everyone is professional we never felt cared for till we spoke to Renee. Her and Ricky her husband/videographer were both so great and thoughtful. They checked out our venue to get an overlay. We met up on another day for a engagement session which turned out amazing! It was really fun and enjoyable. They were both so flexible and patient. In my opinion they turned out to be more than just our photographers. On our wedding things got hectic due to rain and plans changing but they both adjusted accordingly. All of our photos look amazing and they got great candid shots si we that's what we wanted. I have no problem recommending them to anyone. We have photographers now for life for all of our events and I would even say friends :)

Me and my husband have never looked so good in a photo in our lives (and likely never will again...). Russ perfectly balanced being a fly on the wall when it mattered (during the ceremony, etc), with giving us some much needed guidance for fun group shots and portraits. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Book him now!!

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

Wow, just wow! Our experience with Vanessa Montano Photography was nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial consultation to receiving our breathtaking photos, every step was filled with professionalism, creativity, and a touch of magic. They effortlessly blended into our day, becoming an integral part of capturing not just images but emotions. Their talent isn’t just in snapping beautiful pictures; they have an innate ability to capture the essence of a moment, freezing laughter, tears, and all the little details we never want to forget. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, ensuring our personalities shone through each frame. The final photos exceeded our wildest expectations. Each image tells a story, evoking the same emotions we felt on our special day. The quality, composition, and attention to detail are unparalleled. Thank you, Vanessa and team, for immortalizing the most incredible day of our lives. You’re not just a photographer; you’re an artist who beautifully crafts love stories through the lens. We’ll cherish these memories forever and highly recommend you to anyone seeking a photographer who turns moments into masterpieces!

Your experience with me starts long before you step in front of my lens. I take the time and energy to get to know you & your story, so that I can capture the parts of your relationship that are authentically YOU. So that you can look back on the photos from this season of life, and feel like you're right back in that moment, feeling those same feels. To me, a perfectly posed & still photograph doesn't capture a feeling the way that a candid one can. I direct my couples to create images that are full of movement and those intimate in-between moments.

Shelby is my go to gal for any professional photos! I highly recommend her to anyone who love great quality and memorable photos. Any vision I have she delivers perfect, if not better!
