Clare Tam-Im Photography

So happy with Clare. As a 'deer in headlights' is my signature look in photos, we were looking for a relaxed, natural photography style, she immediately put us at ease and slotted into the day perfectly. Clare managed to capture beautiful moments without us noticing! I love them! Highly recommend

My husband and I got married in August 2018. We found Clare at a wedding fair in October 2016. We were drawn to her wonderfully bright and colourful stand, but it was her bubbly smiley personality that stuck with us. At a fair with what felt like hundreds of vendors Clare was the only one that stuck out for us and the only vendor we booked from that fair. We had an initial consultation via Skype in November 2016 where we explained a bit about the wedding ideas (geeky!!) And discussed a bit more about Clare's packages and prices etc as expected. We booked her about a week later, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made with our wedding!! As we booked nearly two years in advance we didn't have much contact initially but something that stood out to me was about 6 months after booking (having only exchanged a handful of emails and one Skype consultation). Clare tagged me in a Facebook post on how to make dragon eggs. It was at this point I knew for certain we had made the right decision! She just got us completely. In fact I loved the post and eggs shown so much I ended up including them as our wedding decorations!! So Clare even helped with the decoration of our wedding!! Leading up to the wedding Clare made all the initial contact and I never once felt like we needed to chase her for confirmations. I really appreciated this. We had an engagement shoot a couple of months prior to the wedding and it was so much fun. I would definilty recommend one!!. Both my partner and I hate having our pictures taken and hate posing. But Clare put us as ease straight away and before long we were laughing so much that it was hard to get the sensible pictures! After the engagement shoot Clare said to us that we would have the pictures within three weeks but it only took her a week. We were so happy with them and everyone loved them and all had different favourites for different reasons. On the wedding day itself Clare arrived and had already got a lot of photos without me even being aware! We had a second shooter, arranged by Clare, who was just as lovely as Clare and her style fit in with Clare's brilliantly from the look of all the photos we received. Clare was hands on from arrival helping me do up the dress, fit button holes, sort my veil. All alongside taking pictures! It was like having a extra friend at all times. Clare seemed to both blend into the background and also be right there when we needed her. She was easy going and still managed to get all the shots we had requested. Even if I was stressing when everyone we needed for photos kept wandering off! I don't know who she managed to get all the photos she did but I loved them all. She made us feel so at ease that at times I even forgot we were having pictures taken! Everyone who spoke to Clare had nothing but positive things to say about her, she even put my dad at ease about having photos done and he is worse than my husband and I!! When we got our photos of the wedding Clare sent us an email asking us to plan a date night. She wanted to ensure we were together then we got the photos. It was such a lovely touch. As I pointed out to her I was so excited to see them (especially after the sneak peaks on Facebook!!) I probably would of peaked before I saw my husband! The photos themselves were stunning. We laughed, we cried and we smiled till our faces hurt. We couldn't have asked for our day to be captured any better. They were stunning. We were sent access to an online album prior to receiving our usb. The usb itself arrived in a stunning presentation box which contained a few lovely surprises too. I cannot praise Clare enough for everything. I can guarantee if you book Clare for your wedding you won't regret it. She is wonderful! Without a doubt our favourite supplier from our wedding. ♡

We saw Clare’s stand at the National Wedding Fair and instantly knew we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. And we couldn’t have picked better! Clare was so helpful during the months before the wedding and did a fantastic job during the day. Even without seeing any photos we had lots of guests complimenting Clare’s professionalism during the day. And what can we say about the photos? We cannot stop looking at them. They perfectly capture what an amazing day it was for us, and we couldn’t be happier knowing we can go back to it as many times as we want! Thanks a lot, Clare!

Clare made the whole experience so easy, from the booking and communication early on, to the big day where she captured all the best moments without us even noticing. We received the photos quickly after the wedding and now have beautiful images we can treasure forever. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Such a professional, gorgeous photos, exactly what we had asked for and she made us feel relaxed all day!

Clare was absolutely fantastic in our wedding day. She was friendly, making us laugh and helping us to have a wonderful time. We also felt that she absolutely went above and beyond to ensure that we had all the photos that we wanted and we received loads of compliments about her from our guests. The photos are beautiful and we are delighted with them. Fantastic service and a really wonderful lady to boot. We are so delighted that we used her.

We chose Clare as the photographer for our big day after meeting her at the National Wedding Show and she was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was quick to respond to our original enquiry, happy to be flexible in planning our photos and made time to meet with us personally to chat through how she would approach the photography on the day. On the day itself she made everyone feel so comfortable, and went over and above to get all of the shots we wanted, it really felt like she was one of our wedding guests. And of course to top it all off her photos are fantastic. Clare really captured the emotion of our day, her photos are full of love, laughter and happy tears and she managed to get shots of every guest as well as lots of lovely photos of us, our families and our venue. Thanks to her we will be able to relive the best day of our lives, for the rest of our lives.

We were recommended to use Clare for our bid day from one of my best friends after I commented on how amazing her wedding pictures were. From the moment I got in contact with Clare she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We opted for an engagement shoot also and she put us at complete ease. Even playing games with us like the Alphabet (you’ll need to experience it for yourself ) to make for the most natural pictures and asking us to whisper in each others ear. The whole experience was really fun especially for two people who dislike having their photo taken ! The big day was seamless with Clare on hand. She ran through all the timings ahead of the day and just blended in perfectly. In the nicest way..... our guests and family members hardly noticed she was there, Which made for beautifully natural shots. I would highly recommend Clare if you’re looking for natural and fun pictures full of love and laughter. She is also fantastic at spotting a sunset :) Thank you Clare for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. The Atkinson’s

It was great to have Clare at our Wedding in June this year. She captured everything we wanted! I would hire her again and again.

Thank you so much for being part of our day, everyone said how comfortable you made them feel and how much fun the photos were. There are some really special ones and they have all perfectly captured our day. Thank you again and if you ever need a recommendation we would be more than happy to tell everyone what a brilliant experience we had!
