I’m Derek Preciado
I approach photography and cinematography with the mindset that everything plays a role. From how you express your emotions in the most subtle of ways to the jaw-dropping scenery surrounding every moment — there is a narrative that must be encompassed. So, I consider the lighting, the details and the framing, but also tune into the moments and connections so the results are captivating, and the wedding itself flows effortlessly.
