DJP72~ A man of vision and purpose, with a very understanding wife + 2 cute sons. A life lived daily through the lense and a passion for being real, honest and helpful in life, he don't know it all and he'll tell ya - but he does know somethings about many things! He's a true mate with no pretention, a spiritual man indeed. Check his photos and see a photographer with a selective view finder, a keen eye for form, tone and colour, a junkie for his craft and a driven individual bent on recording, dipicting and memorialising the daily but important habits of life! An awesome portfolio as a wedding photographer sets DJP as a most versatile and perceptive person, capturing images found in the moment, responses formed and atuned to an intuitive pulse, capturing moments that couples cherish through out the years. being a friend might make me bias, but the truth ain't worth fighting!

My sexy husband, Kirby, and I had Darren take our engagement photos, as well as some family photos. Darren has an amazing talent for capturing the essence of people! His photos are very personal and intimate, but what makes them really stand apart from others is the way the catch glimpses of our true selves.

I like darren's photos because he makes each one special. Each having a unique way of expressing the emotion behind it. It almost makes you feel like your intruding on an intimate moment.

Darren really has a way to seize a moment in time. I'm always excited to see what he captures. And the photos of Drummond are adorable you can feel the life of the little boy when you look at his pictures. Good photographer and good subject matter. His photos get an A+ in my book.

Well i've known djp for maybe a couple of years now, and i'm glad that we have crossed paths. To me he is a great inspiration and i hope to know him for a longer time. I see him as an artist, a family man, a business man, and ofcourse a friendly man. WHOOP! WHOOP!

His eye for weddings is amazing, and I wish he had been in the U.S. for our wedding. Maybe we'll have another one and make him come!
