Hey there,

I'm Clare an alternative wedding photographer based in Manchester, who travels all over for love and epic parties! I'm all about capturing those natural, easygoing moments for couples who want a chilled-out vibe on their big day. If you're on the lookout for a photographer who doubles as your personal cheerleader and buddy with a camera, let's chat over a cuppa! Together, we'll dive into turning your dream wedding into a beautiful reality. Cheers to breaking the rules and making some bad ass memories!

Relaxed wedding photography for the untraditional

So, here's my vibe when it comes to weddings: I'm all about letting your celebration flow naturally, no pressure, no fuss. But hey, what about those family formals, right? Don't worry, I've got you covered. I totally get it – gotta have those mantle-worthy shots for Christmas gifts (you can thank me later!). My advice? Keep the group photos short and sweet. The more you've got, the longer it takes, and let's be real, that means less time for you to mingle and soak up the love from your guests. Plus, it cuts into my time for snapping those belly-laughing, good-time memories of everyone. So, let's keep it chill and focus on the good stuff!

“We can’t recommend Clare highly enough! All communication with her before our wedding was really easy. On the day, she made us both (& guests) feel at ease, taking away any awkwardness. And the photos themselves are beautiful! She really scoped out the venue, found perfect spots for the best shots. If you’re looking for someone to capture your special day, then Clare’s the one for you.”

Alright, let's chat about those couple portraits! Sure, it might sound a bit nerve-wracking, but trust me, they're a big deal. It's your chance to take a breather from all the hustle and bustle and just be together for a sec. We'll sneak away for a quick 10-15 minute stroll before you dive into your wedding feast – just enough time to catch your breath and soak in the moment. Consider me your personal hype person during this time, hyping you up and capturing some epic, natural shots of you both. I'll give you some gentle guidance because let's face it, we all need a little nudge now and then, right? But most importantly, we'll have fun with it! I'm not afraid to get a little silly to put you both at ease and get those genuine, laughter-filled shots. So, let's embrace the moment, trust the process, and create some magic together

I might call Manchester my home, but I'm always down for a love-filled adventure and a killer party! I've hit up so many awesome weddings that I've lost count. From laid-back barns to edgy industrial warehouses, I've experienced the whole spectrum. Wherever your love story decides to unfold, just know I'm ready for the ride!
