Sydney Wedding photography
Life’s moments into
Lifetime Memories
Welcome to David Henry Photography. I’m a wedding photography based in Wahroonga, Sydney. I’m thrilled you’re looking at my work and considering me to take your wedding photos or to capture your family at this moment in time.
At the heart of people photography is the direct connection to our own history. The stories told are a reminder of who we once were. Those stories encompass the happiness and the ache of our own humanity. They’ll make us laugh even when we are crying. They help us connect the moments and occasions that have always been worth remembering. Today you’re the client, but tomorrow you’re the parent of the future generations wanting to know who you are today. For you and them we document life, beautifully.
Hey, I’m David
The Man Behind the lens
“You’re not like other wedding photographers”, so many bridal parties and families tell us with delight at the end of a wedding day. And from one of our Mothers of the Bride, “David did everything with such grace”.
I photograph what unfolds, and yes, I also help craft and direct images. Is the success of an image centred on the construction of the photograph or on witnessing something more fundamental and more authentic? “But everything has to be perfect”. No, it really doesn’t. The sometimes chaotic nature of who we are give us photographs that really tell the story of our personality, with more truth. Sure, it will show more imperfections, but that’s where our stories often dwell.
20 years later, I still love what I do.

Observation helps create visual memories that are genuine. It helps to be calm, reassuring, confident as a photographer. Being gentle, calm and mindful allows moments to develop naturally. It helps our clients and their families feel more relaxed on what can be times of heightened emotion and feelings.
People in love have a cadence, a rhythm and flow to their interactions, Human behaviour is usually predictable but occasionally surprises us with spontaneity, uncertainty, and new things. Capturing these, as they’re happening, delivers the natural elements that show the shared connection of relationships.
They’re definitely the moments we want to look back on in the years and decades to come. After all, photography allows us to re-live our history and caters to our needs to have gorgeous moments seen today. I see movement, people laughing, animated conversations, emotional connection, and touch. Your laughter, hugs, cheekiness, intensity, contemplation is seen, felt, and absorbed.
The photographs that eventuate from our time together show you, celebrated, loved, heard. They’ll be memories that transport you, your children, and your grandchildren, allowing you to see your family’s beginnings and growth. That’s the gift you give yourself, an emotional and tangible connection to the people, places and times that mean everything to you.
My
Style
Anyone can take pictures, but it takes an artistic eye with a knack for truth to encapsulate the emotional moments of your wedding day. David’s photographs marry fine art with photojournalism to document the magic that happens in a blink of an eye … and then, just as quickly, is gone. David calmly, quietly, moves through the day with you, committing more than just smiles and posed shots. Candid moments and exquisite portraiture is his speciality, making your wedding, engagement or portrait photos a timeless treasure that brings back wonderful memories every time you look at them for years to come.
Your
Investment
Your wedding day will be a unique day that you have spent hours dreaming about and planning to make is so special. Retaining a fabulous photographer to record the day and capture all those new memories is essential.
I work closely with you to create a custom photography package that suits your specific needs, whether that includes adventurous outdoor shots, candid moments, or creative, artistic images. Ultimately, investing in an wedding photographer is a way to ensure that your wedding day is not only beautifully documented, but also a reflection of your unique love story, and a cherished memory that you can revisit and share for a lifetime.

As a wedding photographer, I have the incredible privilege of capturing the most intimate moments between two people deeply in love. From the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the tearful vows and the exuberant celebrations afterward, I get to freeze these precious memories in time.
And it’s not just weddings. I also specialize in family portraits and engagement sessions. There’s something magical about preserving the genuine connections and emotions within families and couples. When my clients see their photos and relive those beautiful moments, it’s absolutely amazing.
We do not remember days.
We remember moments.
