let me tell your love story

Looking for something a little bit different?

  • Are you an eco-conscious couple, bride, groom or civil partners looking to create a sustainable, low carbon footprint wedding?
  • Do you like easy, relaxed documentary-style photos, with some arty and funky ones styled to create some amazing wall art?
  • Is your venue an old barn, castle or set on a beach, or in woodland? Then I might just be the photographer for you!

I make sure your wedding day memories reflect the most amazing day of your life.
Let's think outside the box, and you will be amazed at what we can achieve.

Located in Cumbria on the border of the Lake District and Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - I have easy access to a number of amazing venues and locations.

I'll work with you to produce a detailed plan of the day so that I can be there at each moment to capture the detail, emotions and laughter. There are a number of packages you can choose from too, if you have any questions please do get in touch. 

Take care, Claire x

meet claire

Hello,

I'm Claire and I moved back to Cumbria in 2009, having lived, worked and travelled in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia for over 14 years. 

With a background in branding and public relations, I have an eye for detail and a creative bent. In 2015 I began my formal training at Kendal College, having practiced photography for many years.

My passion for telling unique stories inspires me each day. Connecting with people, putting children at ease, capturing a laugh, a tear - these emotional responses create photographic memories which will not only help you to remember your special day but how you felt too.

I shoot with candid and classical in mind. I love early mornings, late afternoon and evenings to capture the best light. My studio editing style reflects and enhances this, focusing on beautifully developed natural colours, and classic black and whites.

I'm a member of the Society of Professional Photographers, continually working on my professional development, believing there is always something new to learn. I like to shoot with prime lenses, enter awards and generally love every minute of my photography career.

Each year my partner and I head out to New Zealand where we enjoy the sunshine, catching up with friends and family, taking photographs and returning with a kiwi accent!

If you would like to find out more, why not contact me, follow me on Instagram or like my page on Facebook.

I look forward to hearing from you, Claire xx
