HELLO, IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU

MY NAME IS claire

Hey there! I’m Claire, and I am a Yorkshire-based photographer, so whether you are looking for wedding photography in places like Leeds, Harrogate, Skipton and Sheffield, I love meeting couples looking for relaxed and alternative wedding photography. I even go further afield within the UK if you're not in any of these places, so not to worry! 

I’ve been obsessively taking pictures my whole life, and it's what I'm truly passionate about. I am a bubbly and chatty kinda gal who knows how to put people at ease when they are in front of the lens. Making you laugh and fun prompts will make you forget there's even a camera there. 

Having a good relationship with my couples is so important to me. If I'm going to get to know you - you should have the opportunity to get to know me too!

Not just a photographer. 
a CRAZY CAT LADY, A foodie, A PASSIONATE CREATIVE.

A little about me

WHAT INSPIRES ME

MY FAVe  THINGS

BEHIND THE LENS

  • The most enjoyable things to photograph are emotions. Passion, love, humour, excitement...weddings have it all and more.

  • All the tiny little details couples put so thoughtfully into their big day make me so excited to come on the journey with you and capture it forever.

  • I may be super relaxed and fun in my approach, but I am also super organised when it comes to your big day. The combination of the two means your photography experience will be totally stress-free. Woohoo! 

I will act as your personal time machine.

WHAT INSPIRES ME

  • I am a self confessed crazy cat lady and I love my two lil fur babies are Jaya and Kiwi. I work from home when I'm not at a wedding, so I will most likely be found editing in my office and talking to my cats. That's normal, right? 

  •  Food is my other ultimate passion. I *may* have swiped right on my husband because it said he was a chef. Don't tell him I said that. 

  • Music is a huge part of my life and I can scream every word to anything by Bon Iver. Also any 80's music never fails to get me on the dance floor with a pint or two. 

  • The Office US is my ultimate comfort show, and I can quote most of the episodes. I've also watched every episode of Lost five times...

  • In my spare time I do a lot of embroidery and lino printing because I'm basically a lil' old lady in a 28 year old's body. 

I COULD EAT RAMEN EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE (probs shouldn't though)

MY FAVOURITE THINGS

  • Before your big day, I will help create a timeline of your day for everything photography related. That way, everyone knows what’s happening when, and all the stress will melt away.

  • I'll be there while the wedding party sneak a few drinks to calm their nerves. 

  • I’ll be there when you say the all important vows, when all the speeches make you blush with pride or cry with laughter, and when you party on down to your fave tunes.

Rain or shine, I won’t miss a beat

BEHIND THE LENS

This is because I'm so passionate about preserving memories for years to come - it's what lights me up. It's what keeps me going. It's my life mission. 

Your wedding day is just as important to me as my own photo albums. I want you to cherish all the moments of your big day forever. In fact, I'll make sure of it. 

I have a photo album for every month of my life since the age of thirteen.
