Brett says..“We are delighted to be putting on our second wedding course at the beautiful Danesfield House Hotel and Spa in Marlow. We have full run of this amazing location, don’t miss this day if you want to learn how to produce amazing wedding images and take your own weddings to another level!”
Danesfield House Hotel and Spa in Marlow
This award-winning, luxury country house hotel located between the fashionable boutique shopping towns of Marlow and Henley-on-Thames in beautiful, rural Buckinghamshire. Danesfield House, as it stands today, is the third property to have been built within this glorious setting. 4,000 years ago, the site was reputed to have been a resting place of nomadic tribes who paused to hunt nearby land and fish in the then untamed river. Because of the ample game and the discovery of flint within the chalk-based cliffs, the site became a settlement throughout the ages and although not named “Danesfield” until many years later, this name originated from the fact that Danish adventurers made an encampment here…..
As Brett says. “We pride ourselves on everything that we do at Brett Harkness Photography and our training courses are no exception. Apart from the obvious information being passed on we look to take care of all the details from dresses used, flowers to food and comfort. We will work you hard !! But our days are filled with fun , exceptional shooting and most importantly the chance to learn!”

What photographers say about our courses
David Long- “I just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday, I had a thoroughly enjoyable day and learnt a lot.I’m not quite a workshop junkie but do love learning and have attended a fair few! I do have to say that this is probably the best session that I have been to. What shone through was the quality and attention to detail throughout the day from the venue, to the models to the quality of information/instruction and the opportunity to learn and shoot – you both did a fantastic job!”
Barry McCullock- “Brett. Just a massive thanks to you and Kristie for making todays shooting the most truly eye opening experience in every sense. The models were superb and helped make it massive learning curve in such a short time and done in the best of atmospheres. Invaluable.”

It was one of the best training experiences I have had as a pro photographer and we came away feeling confident in knowing how to drive the business on. On the way home Rachael said we would be booking a course with you guys on a yearly basis and for her to say this is a big turn around. I think she really saw the benefit in having days like this. Thank you so much again for a life changing tremendous day.”

Thanks again, Pete - “MATTHEW STAINER - "Just a quick note to say thank you for a fun, relaxed, informative, inspiring and a well fed day of top notch training.
