Positive: Warmth and vibrant colours, bubbly personality, priceless collection of memories.

(I love her style of edit!) 
Clare's unique style of photography immediately captivated us. We were drawn to her informal, candid approach, a refreshing departure from the overly staged and posed shots often seen in wedding photography. The warmth and vibrant colours her pictures exuded truly resonated with us. After our initial virtual meeting, we knew Clare was the perfect photographer for our special day. Her bubbly personality instantly put us at ease, and we loved her relaxed yet professional approach. Beyond her talent behind the lens, Clare's vast knowledge of the wedding industry proved invaluable. She offered sage advice and support whenever-needed, helping us navigate the intricacies of planning our big day. We particularly appreciated the pre-wedding portrait session, which allowed us to experience Clare's working style first-hand and develop a comfortable rapport before the main event. From start to finish, Clare made the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable. Her ability to capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of our wedding day left us with a priceless collection of memories. We hope to have the opportunity to work with Clare again in the future, as her exceptional skills and warm demeanour made her an absolute joy to collaborate with.

Positive: Sheer Talent, She's hilarious, laid back and down to earth

Clare was our photographer for our November 2023 wedding, I wish I had the words to describe what having her be a part of our wedding was like for us. Her sheer talent aside, she's an absolute breath of fresh air. My husband and I are very awkward when it comes to showing our love for one another and being 'lovey dovey', but clare still managed to capture our love perfectly. She's hilarious, laid back, down to earth, and now feels like a friend to us.
I also had a bridal boudoir shoot which I gave to my husband on our wedding morning, this was something I really wasn't looking forward to as I hate being infant of the camera, but I actually had such a good day and clare made me feel so at ease, and so beautiful!
I honestly think if you don't have clare as your wedding photographer, you're missing out.

Positive: Stunning photos, early previews, made us relaxed

We were recommended Clare by our florist Andrea from the Flower House and we were lucky enough to have Clare be able to take our photos...with only a six month timescale. We had lovely zoom chats before the day and a brilliant time at Tarn Hows on the coldest day of the year for pre wedding photos...which were stunning.

Photos on the day were unbelievable...Clare was part of our day and captured the best photos ever. The evening ones with the setting sun and the bluebells are incredible. Clare also sent us very early proofs the day after our wedding before her very early 5.00 am start for another wedding. A true professional and at the pre wedding and on the day she had us relaxed and laughing and gave us lasting memories from our day...and a keepsake pack! Thank you Clare for all your fabulous work.

Positive: Amazing through our wedding journey

SUNSET DREAMS

Clare we don't even know how to begin to say THANK YOU for being so amazing through our wedding journey. You loved and ran with all my mental ideas and vice versa...dream team? I think so! You were brilliant from the get go checking in on plans and ideas and helping me with everything from supplier dramas to those teeny tiny details!

You were amazing with our children both at our pre wedding shoot and on the big day, they adored you and can't wait to see you again and for that we can't thank you enough. I'm not sure we will ever be able to settle on a favourite image because they are all just incredible.

I never thought in a million years i'd be stile climbing in my wedding dress but i'm so glad you gave us that direction, the images are just perfection. You and James were just the best we couldn't have asked for a more down to earth duo to join us for the day!

P.S Thank you for literally matching our colour scheme down to your attire on the day, you are just awesome!

Positive: Incredible, everyone loves you

Clare - where do we start? From our initial call we were so excited to work with you; your easygoing, honest, fun and creative style matched our wedding vision! We were blown away with our engagement photo shoot and our wedding highlights are phenomenal - we can’t wait to see the full gallery!

Your bright and bubbly personality made the wedding morning that little bit more magical; you fit in with our friendship group and we’re right in on the banter, you made everyone feel so comfortable!

Every one of our guests have commented on how likeable you were, how you made everyone feel at ease and, it goes without saying, but how striking and breathtaking the wedding previews are. We’re already trying to think of another event we can book you for as we loved you! Thank you for being you Clare, i’m so glad we found you. The McGlennons xx

Positive: hilariously whitty, unbelievable photography skills

As soon as we saw Clare’s work online - we knew she was the person to capture our wedding. She’s obviously extremely talented but watching her Instagram stories and seeing how relaxing and down to earth she is and after chatting with her, her character only cemented our confident that she was the one.

We had an intimate relaxed wedding and she fit right in. Personally I can get quite shy and reserved in front of new people and cameras but I felt unbelievably confident in front of Clare. So much so that I was a bundle of energy and she captured both our personality, relationship dynamic and love perfectly.

She encouraged us to be natural in front of the camera and directed us to engage with each other so that she could capture some beautiful moments.

Super easy to chat and get along with, hilariously witty and just an all round good egg with unbelievable photography skills. We cannot recommend her enough. Five starts from us.

Positive: Absolutely incredible, completely natural, amazing photos

Clare was absolutely incredible!!! From the moment we first spoke on the phone, we knew we’d found the right photographer for us. She put us at ease instantly and was onboard with all the ideas we had (including asking her to get in a boat) and she also gave us her ideas too (bride tossing had to be a highlight).

The photos are blooming awesome and completely natural, so many of guests hadn’t realised that Clare wasn’t a guest herself.

We will be forever grateful for her helping to make our day as fantastic as it was and giving us the most amazing photos we will cherish 💕💕💕💕
