Fantastic photographer (if you don't want awkwardness!)
We found Clare to be perfect for us, and I'm sure many other couples will too. Her professional, yet easy going personality really helped us feel relaxed on what could have been a really stressful day! We had a terrible storm in our August wedding and the photos we had planned were impossible to get. At short notice Clare managed to get photos captured indoors without much time to think! Bonus points for including our dog in the wedding photos which meant the world to us. She also helped create a wonderful wedding album which marked our 1 year paper anniversary.

Put us at ease...
Clare was our photographer for our wedding on the 15th April 2023. We are two people that definately shy away from being in front of a camera, but after a few minutes with Clare at our pre wedding shoot, She put us both completely at ease and we got some beautiful pictures of us and our 3 children. We knew at this point our wedding was going to be a blast, and we were absolutely right! Clare fit in seamlessly, which resulted in the most perfect wedding pictures.

Cosy warm colours
THE BEST 🧡 Clare absolutely, well and truly understood the assignment when it came to our autumn elopement this October. 🍂🧡🌲 The cosy warm colours were captured beautifully, I can't stop looking at the photos! Clare herself is just so lovely, nothing is too much trouble and she made us feel completely relaxed. I was amazed we received our highlights gallery the same day. You can tell this is Clare's love and passion, it shows on every photo taken...

Hilarious, laid back, 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.

Above and beyond
Earlier this year, at the end of March, Clare was our photographer for our wedding. Prior to this day we also did a wedding pre-shoot that allowed us to get to know each other and become comfortable. Words cannot describe how elated we are with our wedding photos. We loved Clare's style the instant we first found her site, but she has gone above and beyond what we hoped for. She has captured so many special moments in the day, her creativity is second to none. For example, on the morning of the

warmth and vibrant colours
(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 profession

Clare captured our amazing day perfectly
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our day. The amount of people that have said how happy we and everyone else look on the pictures shows Clare captured our amazing day perfectly. Clare was able to capture the love we have for each other without having staged, awkward photos, she was able to focus on the fun side of our relationship and this really shines through on the photos. Finally the pictures, what can we say, they are so much more than we could have imagined.

Plenty of laughs...
Clare captured our wedding photos and her professionalism throughout the day was excellent. We had plenty of laughs and it all felt completely natural which was important to both of us. Her work ethic is outstanding and you can tell that Clare wants to go above and beyond for her couples. The highlight photos (delivered on the same day!) blew us away and we can’t wait to have the full gallery and mini film. Thank you so much Clare, you are the best and we are so glad to have found you to capture

Clare distinctive Autumnal hue...
I’ve been meaning to post a review for yonks but never got around to it! My now wife and I chose Clare in all honesty rather quickly. Her photos speak for themselves. We had an autumn wedding up in Scotland which perfectly leant itself to Clare’s distinctive autumnal hue and beautiful landscapes she always manages to frame the pictures with. ...
