I can’t wait to hear from you.

  • “I could NOT recommend Claire more - she is TRULY talented and I feel so lucky to have found her.

    It's very difficult to choose my favourite thing about Claire's photography but if I absolutely had to, I would say it's her gift for capturing candid moments. She has the most beautiful eye - capturing every special moment that we could have ever hoped for, without the need for any posing - which neither myself or my husband are very good at! Claire captured our wedding perfectly and we will treasure the photos forever.

    - Nina & Harry

Choosing your photographer is about more than just ticking a box - it’s about finding someone you trust to be fully present, to anticipate the unplanned, and capture your wedding day in a way that feels true to you.

My approach is relaxed yet refined, with a focus on connection - my promise is photos that will feel like you.

questions?

  • With 15+ years of professional experience, I know how to capture your day so it feels effortless, elegant, and yours.

    My couples value quality and artistry without ego — wedding photographs that are stylish and timeless, but still feel like them.

    Whether it’s a destination wedding weekend in Positano or an editorial-inspired celebration at Claridge’s, you can trust me to capture your wedding beautifully.

I’ve got you

  • I create authentic, documentary wedding photography with an editorial edge. That means real, candid moments — laughter, happy tears, unplanned glances — paired with magazine-worthy portraits that feel natural and stylish. I’ve photographed everything from intimate London elopements to luxury weddings in Puglia, Paris, Santorini, and Mallorca, always capturing the soul of the day.

  • No — and every couple is different.

    Some want pure documentary coverage with just a handful of portraits and group shots. Others love a mix of candid storytelling and editorial portraits, sometimes with a little direction, pre-planned ideas, or even mood boards. And some want a more fashion-forward editorial approach.

    We’ll work together before and on the wedding day to find the right balance for you both, so you feel comfortable and confident.

  • Yes. I’m fully insured and use multiple professional cameras and backup gear. I have contingency plans in place for travel and weather and a huge network of talented photographer peers that I can reach out to in case of emergency.

  • Quickly and beautifully. We’ll agree a short group list in advance so they’re done efficiently, letting you get back to celebrating. For couple portraits, I choose the best light and setting to create images that feel relaxed, effortless, and true to you — whether that’s wandering cobbled streets in Edinburgh, standing under the Eiffel Tower, or walking hand-in-hand along the Cornish coast.

  • You’ll receive 500–700 fully edited, high-resolution images in a private online gallery you can access anywhere in the world. A preview selection arrives within one week, and your full gallery is ready in 8–10 weeks. I also offer luxury fine art coffee table books and wedding albums.

  • Yes — unless you have booked one of my associate photographer team as I was unavailable for your date.

    If you book me, you get me. I won’t outsource or send an associate photographer. From our first conversation to the moment I hand over your final images, you’ll be working directly with me.

  • Yes — absolutely. Many of my destination weddings in Europe are multi-day celebrations, and I love capturing the full experience. Whether it’s a welcome dinner in Amalfi, a relaxed pool party in Ibiza, or a farewell brunch in Paris, I can be there for every chapter of your wedding so you have the complete story.

    I also have experience photographing multicultural weddings with multiple ceremonies and traditions. I understand the flow of multi-day events and how to be in the right place at the right time without interrupting the atmosphere.

    If your wedding is non-traditional — whether that means a sunrise ceremony, a weekend-long festival in the countryside, or a chic city-hall wedding followed by a rooftop party — I’ll work with you to create coverage that reflects your unique celebration.

  • Most couples book 12–18 months in advance, especially for popular summer dates or multi-day destination weddings. For more intimate and shorter coverage weddings and elopements it’s usually less and some are even last minute. It’s always worth checking my availability.

    I only take on a limited number of weddings each year (around 15) so I can give every couple my full attention and energy, which means dates can book up quickly.

  • Yes — I have been photographing beautiful weddings abroad for the last 12 years — France, Italy, Spain, Malta to name but a few in Europe and as far away as New York and Sydney.

  • Yes. I’m fully insured and experienced in the extra planning that comes with destination weddings — from checking local permit requirements to scouting locations in advance. I also organise my own travel and accommodation, unless you’d prefer me to stay on-site, which many couples choose so I’m on hand throughout the celebrations. My goal is to make the photography side of your wedding completely stress-free, wherever in Europe you choose to celebrate.

  • Absolutely. I design bespoke fine art coffee table books and albums using archival-quality materials, so your photographs can be enjoyed for generations. This is the most beautiful way to tell the story of your day — something tangible to pass down.
