Creative, Fun & Relaxed Wedding Photographer Specialising in Smaller Weddings.

Hi, my name is Duncan MacBrayne and I set up Henley Wedding Photography back in 2005. I exclusively specialise in photographing smaller, intimate and low key wedding celebrations. As a highly experienced wedding photographer, I have captured the magic and memories of many wedding couples.

Photography of Weddings throughout Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire & North Hampshire.

I am based in Wargrave, Berkshire, conveniently close to Henley-on-Thames, Maidenhead, Windsor, Reading, Marlow, High Wycombe, Bracknell, Basingstoke, Newbury and Fleet.

To Save you Time...

If after reading more about me and the wedding photography services I offer and you'd like to get in touch, you should be aware that I only photograph small weddings of under 80 guests and where you would like a photographer for less than 6 hours.

it is also a really huge help if you can provide me with a few basic details about your wedding. Firstly, the most important! - The name of your Partner! Secondly, where and what kind of ceremony are you planning (the venue you have in mind) and if it is a religious or civil cermony. Lastly, the number of guests you are planning to invite.

Best that you also know... I don't currently offer wedding video services. Sorry.

Friendly & Easy to Work With - Always Creative

You will find me friendly and easy to work with. I guarantee that you will appreciate the unobtrusive approach I use to capture the special memories of your wedding day. My relaxed, unobtrusive style of photography means you and your guests can sit back and relax with the minmum of intrusion and fuss. My experience means that not only are you guaranteed to get fabulous photographs but you will also benefit from the professional, friendly and confident approach I apply to all my work.

Capturing your Precious Moments....

I know what your big day means to you, and that's why I make sure to go above and beyond your expectations. As every wedding is unique, I always approach each wedding I photograph differently.

Experience is Everything

Your wedding day is truly unique. It is like no other. It is too precious for anything to go wrong and it goes without saying that experience really is everything. Much is said about a safe pair of hands but I believe that is a minimum standard. As a Wedding Couple, you need to be sure that your wedding photographer is not just competent but who is also creative, flexible and delivers exceptional results every time. Above all, someone who takes great pride in their work. In booking me to photograph your wedding, I will use all of my experience to make your photography both magical and extra special.

Everyone is Invited

During my career, I have created exceptional photographs for many, many couples. I have photographed couples from every background, gender and age and couples from the LGBTQ+ Community are particularly welcome. At the end of the day, I truly believe that Love is Love, and Love does not have boundaries. I always consider it to be an enormous privelege to be asked to photograph such an important occasion in a couple's life together.

Always Putting You First

I always put my clients, their families and friends first and foremost. Putting you at the centre of everything I do, I always work hard to make your wedding day photography experience as fun and as relaxed as I can.

Peace of Mind

For your greater peace of mind, I have been vetted and checked by the UK Home Office and possess a currently valid extended DBS certificate. This means that you can be 100% sure that I am legally and safely permitted to work with children and vulnerable people.

For even greater peace of mind, I am also fully insured and have photographers on standby whom I personally know and trust who are able to step in for me in the unlikely event I am not able to attend.

Blown away with the expression in our photos!

Duncan was amazing to work with. He was so personable, took the time to learn more about myself and my fiance (now husband), and really understand our needs. I am located in NYC so our wedding was destination and he took calls at times that worked for my schedule. What really sealed the deal was his pre-wedding session that was apart of our package. The chance to meet him before the big day so he could understand what we were looking for made me very happy. We had an indian wedding, so we had 3 events. Duncan was flexible with locations, arrival times, and working with a large group of people. To this day all of our friends and family are commenting at how much the love and happiness comes through the photos - the expression he was able to capture is just beyond what I was hoping for. He was quick in his reply, professional, respectful, and eager to please. If you want to have a friend in your photographer and great photos, Duncan's your guy. :0)

Brilliant wedding photographer

Would highly recommend Duncan to be your photographer for your wedding day. From the beginning Duncan easily replied to all messages received in regards to pricing what he is able to capture for the day. Duncan arranged a phone call to talk through all details that we required for our day and put a written plan in place along with signed contract forms.
He was very friendly from when we first met him and made our day so easy and took photos randomly alongside us picking pictures we wanted on the day and night. He is very flexible. The pictures we received were fantastic and captured all the moments that we wanted for our day. He sent them across digitally for us to view in hi resolution and normal followed by a beautifully boxed USB. All photos were arranged with colour and black/white.
He is very friendly and made our day very easy
Thanks again Duncan

My daughters Wedding

Nothing was too much trouble for Duncan from the planning, execution and post production of the wedding photographs. Duncan had a keen and artistic eye for the little details that tell the story of a wedding. He fully engaged the bride and groom. their children, the bridesmaids and guests and made it a fun experience. The resulting pictures were delightful and captured the sheer happiness of the day. A truly talented professional and a gentleman. Would recommend without hesitation
