Who...
Clare Gelderd, that's me! Cumbria born and bred wedding photogrpaher and country lass who loves being outside.
Legacy - my aim in life is to leave a positive impact on those around me. My legacy aim is not about money, but moments. Blessings of laughing until you cry, supporting others and thoroughly enjoying each and every precious moment we have. My photography career ensures I'll achieve my goal and I will leave an unforgettable stamp of the world of joy, memories and treasures!
Definately a down to earth female cumbrian photographer that is always 'keeping it real'.
I don't lack energy and enthusiasm, I wholeheartedly love making others laugh and helping others be successful!
Clearly, I am on the ADHD spectrum, meaning my career is a perfect fit for my hyperfocused creativity, dedication to others andunique skillset of reading the room.
Less of the super powers bullshit now, more of the real me too...
A spade, is a spade.
What you see is what you get.
'Straight in every aspect of the word' Clares friend 2020.
I am an AWARD WINNING photographer (not)! I am a barrel of laughs though, sometimes wo-man of the match when I play rugby, gathered up a number of 1st places whilst presenting and handling livestock, run my own successful cumbrian business since I was 18.
Not forgetting, I enjoy slipping in a few tasteful swear words when applicable, because honest people do that sh*t.
Oh and I sing all the songs in chruch!
OVERVIEW IN SHORT - An adventurous, outdoorsy, Cumbrian, Northern, rugby playing lass, with farming in my blood and a wild creative flare.
I identify as a hilarious Legend, and sometimes a little crazy*.
*'Life isn't about being perfect, it's about being so rediculously passionate that people think you are a little crazy.'
My Approach...
I believe each wedding should be seen with fresh eyes and captured ensuring the mood, energy and love is documented accordingly.
I am in touch with energy in the room, enabling me to photograph moments in the most authentic way, resulting in beautifully choreographed images that are visually artistic and unique.
I am motivated and support my clients throughout the run up and during their perfect day.
I am laid back, enthusiastic and light hearted.
