Its good to be back. I am Derek Pye multi award winning wedding and glamour photographer. It’s generally accepted that I am the best wedding photographer working in the UK today. At prices from £295 including VAT and a special album, I am also one of the most highly sought after.

And he is so modest and humble

Inspired Photography · 10th of February 2006 (Fri)

That is amazing.

Even if he could take photos i wouldn't use him cos his website is so damn confusing.

Someone who is so modest is hard to take seriously. He could be a good guy but i will probably never know!

For those of you who have not yet realised, the whole web site is a p@ss take!
This site gets mentioned on numerous forum sites, the other day someone mentioned about the part where he gives advice on shooting people in wheelchairs at weddings...get somebody to prop them up because they spoil the picture! (his comments and certainly not mine)
Some of the stuff is quite funny but other stuff like the above can be in bad taste.

I don't think anyone who shoots pro needs to worry about the awards he's won or work he may take from you.

Just one word...WOW! He needs a copy writer. LOL

CyberPet · 10th of February 2006 (Fri)

Well, the whole site is a joke, so this guy is not serious. Although he do have some insight in the business, which makes you think it's someone that is letting out steam somehow. I find it's a fun site, and I laugh out loud at some things he writes. The most fun part is that his so called assistant writes there too, and sometimes he forgets he's changed username to make comments in there, so he mixes up his assistant and himself in the replies. I'ts just HILARIOUS!!

I've just tried to take a look - and his site is down!

What you mean it's not real?!

I f anyone at the wedding of Yetunde and Danjuma last Saturday at Peckham registry office has found a small black pouch containing several 512MB compact flash cards please return to me ASAP. Please do not erase the cards!

Cheers

Derek

CyberPet · 10th of February 2006 (Fri)

I just love the fact he's using 512 MB CF's too

dsze · 12th of February 2006 (Sun)

Pretty funny site. Petra, whats so wrong with using 512MB cards?

CyberPet · 12th of February 2006 (Sun)

dsze, nothing... just that I think it's annoying to have to change my 1 GB cards a lot... I'm now going for 2 GB ones (but that's my max). I do have one 512 and 2 256 MB too, but seldom or never use them.
