I’m Clare!
I’m a wedding photographer – in case you haven’t guessed that already!
I live in Hockley, Essex with my husband and our dog (Dotty) and two cats (Chunky & Wookie).
I love coffee, cake and pizza…
…but you’re probably here to find out more about me as a wedding photographer, not why I prefer thin & crispy over deep pan
What do I do?
I’ll cry at least once, usually during the ceremony or speeches – though I try and hide it!
I’ll pull tissues out from the camera bag, scissors and needle and thread just in case. I’ve even given a Bride my spare bra!
I butter up vicars to let me take pictures (flash off, be quiet and don’t move too much!)
I’ll ask a million questions before the big day… Who? What? Where? When? I don’t want to miss a thing!
History
I started in the industry in 2005, right at the bottom of the ladder – in a local studio. I then trained up and started running the portrait studio whilst shooting weddings on the side. Now my main focus is in weddings with a small amount of portrait, event and commercial on the side.
Since then I’ve shot 100’s of weddings and worked with numerous other photographers – basically – I’m pretty experienced! If something goes wrong (not that it will, obviously) I’ve probably seen it before, and I’ve probably fixed it too.
I’m happiest at a wedding when other people are laughing, usually at my expense – I’ll happily climb on stuff or crawl on the floor and that usually brings out a few expressions!
