MEET CLAIRE
Hey, it’s me

PROFESSIONAL THIRD WHEEL
Photography has always been a part of my life - from helping my dad in his darkroom to obsessively documenting holidays and the people I love.
Over time, that instinct to capture real, unfiltered moments turned into something bigger.
I found my place in weddings, where I could blend my love for art with the kind of honest storytelling that makes photography truly powerful.
FEATURED IN:
With 15+ years experience and hundreds of weddings behind me, I can honestly say I adore what I do.
Photography has literally changed the way I see the world.
It’s introduced me to so many incredible people, taught me to appreciate light in a whole new way, and reminded me, over and over again, to pay attention to the little things - the unplanned, the messy, the fleeting.
The moments that mean everything.
I’ve witnessed cultures and families come together, cried through countless vows and speeches, and captured moments that have only grown more poignant with time - including some of the very last photos ever taken of loved ones.
That’s the weight of this work - the heavy and the light, the joy and the nostalgia, all wrapped up in a single frame.
And I think I love it more for that. What an honour to be chosen to document all of these things…
… what an honour to preserve your legacy.
My values
service
From the first enquiry to the final gallery, I make the experience seamless. Through thoughtful communication, clear guidance, and meticulous attention to detail. You’re in safe and experienced hands.
quality
I love to work with couples who value exceptional photography. This means delivering not just beautiful images, but a level of skill, attention, and artistry that is beautiful and stands the test of time.
creativity
My style is distinctive - that’s why my couples choose me. Bold compositions, considered use of light, attention to detail and an instinct for storytelling make my work feel fresh, expressive, and full of life.
connection
You’re not just ‘clients’ to me. This is why I only take on a limited number of weddings each year. I want to be fully present on your wedding day and photograph it with the attention and intention it deserves.
fun
I bring energy, calm, and will make sure you actually enjoy being photographed. Then when the party starts, I’ll be right next to you on the dance floor, capturing every epic dance move.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY APPROACH
Perfection isn’t the heart of my work - you are
When I step into a wedding, my energy immediately lifts - it’s like walking into a room full of old friends. Knowing exactly when to step back and when to step up, I’ll be there for the quiet hand squeeze before the aisle, the deep breath before the vows, and the wild, sweaty dance floor chaos at night.
I keep the formal shots fast and effortless so you can get back to celebrating, and I always have a backup plan if the weather (or emotions) take a turn.
If you want some gentle direction I can offer it but I don’t approach the day like a magazine shoot - it’s your wedding. No awkward posing, no forced moments - just honest, immersive storytelling.
“Working with Claire is always a joy. Her ability to capture the magic of a multi-day destination wedding is simply exceptional.
SHE BLENDS SEAMLESSLY INTO THE CELEBRATION, BRINGING A CALM, PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE THAT ALLOWS OUR COUPLES AND THEIR GUESTS TO FULLY EMBRACE THE EXPERIENCE. CLAIRE’S ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS ALSO SECOND TO NONE, AND SHE CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS STUNNING IMAGES THAT TELL THE FULL, AUTHENTIC STORY OF EVERY WEDDING.”
