From the start…
When Simon Mackney decided to follow his passion for photography and portraiture and start his own photography studio back in 2006, he never expected it to be of such success. But the moment the photography business bloomed, Simon thought of an ambitious idea - making it a family business.
So in 2012 comes Wendy, Simon's wife, bringing with her a picturesque photography studio specialising in portrait photography. What filled the team of talented professionals was an enthusiasm not just for photography but for giving customers that personal touch as well; making them feel very much a part of the family values ethos. With countless stories that make each photo unique and meaningful, you can be sure that at Mackney Photography your memories will last forever!
Today
Mackney Photography are a boutique photographic studio, winning national awards for our work in both portraiture, the studio and the team itself.
As a family business, we are lucky to be based in the beautiful English heritage site of Darley Abbey, (just 5mins from the city of Derby), in our purpose built photography studio.
