Welcome to the heart of DS Photography Co. — where moments become memories. I’m Derrick Schwieters, a lifestyle photographer based in Spokane, WA. My approach is simple: capture the genuine, unscripted moments that make your story uniquely yours.


💍 Weddings

From the first look to the last dance, I focus on the authentic emotions and connections that define your day. My goal is to tell your love story through images that feel as real and beautiful as the moments themselves.


👨‍👩‍👧 Families

Whether it’s a playful afternoon in the park or a cozy at-home session, I aim to capture the essence of your family’s dynamic. These are the moments you’ll cherish for years to come.


📷 Portraits

Every person has a story, and I’m here to help tell yours. Whether it’s a senior session, a personal branding shoot, or just because, I strive to create portraits that reflect your personality and style.


🎤 Pre-Wedding Interviews

Before the ceremony, there’s a story worth telling. My pre-wedding interviews give couples the chance to share their journey in their own words, adding a personal touch to your wedding film or photo collection.


✨ Why Choose Me?

  • Authenticity First: I believe in capturing real moments, not posed ones.
  • Personalized Experience: Every session is tailored to fit your unique story.
  • Quality You Can Trust: From the first click to the final edit, I’m committed to delivering exceptional work.

Some of my favorite photos came to life right after I told my clients that we're finished shooting. That's when all the genuine, real interactions happen. So I keep my camera ready for those lovely moments.
