Our Story

Derek and Sarah Frenzel- Orange County Wedding Photographers

Hi, I’m Derek.  And this is my gorgeous wife Sarah.

And here’s the short story of us…

Sarah and I met in the college group at our church and got married in 2004.  It was love at first sight… not really.  But I put on the Frenzel charm and she didn’t have a chance. :)  I definitely married up; Sarah is one of the more talented and creative people I know.  We did the young married thing for a couple of years, and (fast forward a bit) now we have 3 beautiful kids.  Yep, we’re in the crazy club…3 kids under 6. Our son Jackson is the oldest, and then our daughters, Raylee and Josephine.

Sarah has been fostering a love of photography since she was a child. She shot her first wedding at 18 years old, and six years ago she began “Sarah Frenzel Photography”  as a part time job.  I started out as the bag carrier; then I was promoted to second shooter; then in the spring of  ’09 I quit my job to pursue our photography business full time.  We absolutely love what we do!  Being able to be a blessing in our clients’ lives in a creative and meaningful way is one of the greatest opportunities we’ve had; it challenges us, stretches us, grows us, and fills us.
