Wedding season is upon us and this week we have a Duluth photographer who takes wedding portraits to the next level.

Derek Montgomery has been known to summon the northern lights and conjure up lightning for priceless photos in his clients wedding albums, but he also has a keen photographic eye when it comes to freelancing for area media.

Derek tells us about some of his more memorable moments as a wedding photographer, why he always keeps an extra pair of pants in his arsenal and what he likes to photograph most outside of weddings.

We also get the origin story of “Hole Boy,” an iconic News Tribune photo of a toddler in a pothole to give it scale.
