Where do I begin with the beautiful images that Claire produced for us? My sister and I had a horsey shoot with our rather grumpy 15 year old mare and Claire managed to turn her into an affectionate, cheeky 4 year old again. She made us feel totally at ease and we forgot we were having our photo taken completely, we were just having so much fun! She has a pure talent for bringing the best out of you and your horse in front of the camera and is genuinely one of the most lovely people you could ever meet. After a difficult year with our mare these pictures are the perfect memento that we will cherish forever.

What an absolute star Claire is I cannot recommend her more highly, she guided Chris and I through every step of our day and made the whole experience so much easier. All our friends commented on how lovely she is and how easy everything was. Lovely lovely lady xxx

Well what can I say other than amazing. Claire's done shoots for me 2 yrs running to capture my little boy Elijah growing up as well as my 2 elderly dogs and my horses, I hate my photo being taken but she's even managed to get me in a few and I have to say I dont know what I was ever worried about. Claire makes you feel so comfortable and not at all like your on a shoot. I have recommended Claire to numerous friends and family who are just as delighted by her work as I am. I will continue to have Claire document my most precious memories year upon year and would just like to thank her so much for my perfect moments xx

We have just received our wedding photographs from Claire and are absolutely delighted with them. She has done a wonderful job and made us feel totally relaxed in front of the camera - no mean feat! Claire knew exactly how to get the best from people and was just so bubbly and lovely she fitted into our day perfectly. Thank you, Claire! Xx

We got married on the 6th of May 2017, and we could not have wished for a more talented and caring photographer! From the moment we met her, we were made to feel at ease and she helped to make the picture taking experience more enjoyable. On the day, Claire was more than happy to help us when we needed her, and we couldn't have asked for anything more xxx

We can't thank Claire enough for being our wedding photographer! Her attention to detail and professionalism is evident in the photos but her bubbly and friendly nature is what really makes her so good and what she does! Everyone could tell she loves what she does and she could easily of been one of the guests at the wedding, not intrusive or bossy in the slightest! Thanks again, Mr & Mrs Collins 10.12.16

If there was a rating for 5*++++++++ it wouldn't be high enough for this lady!!



Where do we start... from our first consultation to receiving our final images it has been an absolute pleasure, we are overwhelmed with the beauty and presentation of our photographs and the slideshow was just amazing and a completely unique addition to the package that she offers. We had a total blast working with Claire, she made us feel at ease from the get go, is incredibly personable and really knows how to get the best out of you.. We asked her to humour a love for Harry Potter and stage a duel between our bridesmaids and groomsmen, although not a HP fan she gave it her all and the outcome is just magical, not mentioning the other images that she surprised us with that incorporated a little magical twist.



Our family and friends are in awe of the images and tell us that they have never seen wedding photographs that come close to the quality and creativity of Claire's work and we couldn't agree more...



If you are reading this review and considering putting your wedding in her hands, you won't be disappointed.... love Emma & Ross xxx

I need more than 5 stars for Claire ����������

Could not recommend Claire more highly, simply fantastic as a photographer - beautiful pictures capturing our amazing day perfectly. Claire is lovely with a wonderful eye for a photo making sure that the little touches are noticed and give their chance to shine. I love that done are put on Facebook, seeing that Claire has tagged me in a photo is so exciting to see what's being released next! Thank you Claire.

I don't need to tell you how amazing Claire's photos are as they speak for themselves. Her stunning work aside, Claire is truely fantastic. She has so much energy and enphusiasm it is great. She can make anyone feel beautiful and good about themselves. This Lady is like super woman, she managed to stop my husbands 4 yearrr old nephew crying without missing a single shot during our ceremony. Her turn around time is crazily fast, having all our photos ready just after we got back from honeymoon (2 weeks later). She even took out time during her lunch to try find us a replacement videographer after ours no showed. Honestly I could go on about how amazing Claire is all day but just book her yourself and you will not have any regrets.

I cannot speak more highly of Claire. She photographed our wedding back in February and was exactly what we hoped she would be like - and more!

The pre-wedding shoot was the perfect introduction; we got a feel for Claire and she immediately understood us as a couple and got the best out of us then which made the actual wedding day a breeze. Our photos speak for themselves - Claire made us feel relaxed and the photos show us actually having fun, nothing was forced. All of our guests commented on how lovely she was and how they enjoyed being in front of the camera. Claire found some of the best spots in our venue and captured many moments we didn’t notice on the day. After the wedding, she was so prompt at getting our finished images to us. She loves what she does, and it shows. I really hope we can work with her again in the future �

I cannot recommend Claire enough.

As soon as we met Claire she made us feel so at ease, like we were meeting an old friend ! Claire is incredible at her job and takes real pride in her work, making sure everything is perfect. She was very patience with our (slightly �) mad puppy and made him look fantastic in all of the photos. Thank you so so much for creating such beautiful memories for us Claire! We won’t ever use any other photographer.

I asked Claire to take some Autumn photos of my husband and I with our 2 year old son Jacob. On the day we came for the shoot ( October 2016 ) it was a mixed bag of sunshine and occasional showers. We really didn't no what to expect as we had never had professional photos taken of us before.

When Claire arrived, she was very friendly and easy to chat too and straight away put us at ease. She took us through the park and we found some amazing Autumn spots to take photographs. Claire was superb with our 2 year old son Jacob - laughing and giggling with him and he warmed to her straight away. It felt very natural to be in her company - hence the amazing photographs she managed to capture. Claire naturally guided our shoot around the park and allowed Jacob to lead the phototography with his enthusiasm and curiosity.

When it began to rain, I thought this would be the end of the shoot. The rain however, did not stop Claire who made the most of every situation. She was able to capture stunning photographs of Jacob with his hood up sheltering under the trees. Moments like this are priceless and Claire was able to capture those precious seconds with photos we will look back on forever. Thank you for an amazing day Claire ♡ love Nicola, Nicky & Jacob x

I asked Claire to photograph my baby boy when he was only a few weeks old. I was looking for really natural photos. Claire went above and beyond, not only on the day of the shoot, but before to make sure she understood exactly what we wanted. Claire is so bubbly and friendly and made my husband and I feel relaxed and totally comfortable on the day. She was brilliant with our little boy. The photos are absolutely stunning, they are everything I wished for and more. There were so many to choose from. I will definitely be asking Claire to photgraph my little boy again in the future. Thanks again Claire xx

Hi Claire, what can I say !! I walked into the office today and found my wife in tears watching our wedding slideshow!! your photographs and presentation are amazing more than we could have imagined. I can't thank you enough, our guests have commented how good you were on the day and the results speak for themselves. I would have 110% confidence in recommending you to anyone in the future. Thanks again for making our day so enjoyable! James & Tracey Lawrie

From the moment we booked Claire 2 years before the wedding she was amazing!.. we felt so comfortable around Claire and she couldn’t do enough for us, the pre wedding shoot is great to get used to being in front of the camera! We have recently received our wedding photos and are over the moon with them � Thankyou again xxx

Claire was recommended to us by a friend, and despite only meeting her once before the wedding, she was the perfect balance of calm, organised, fun and slightly crazy and fitted in like one of our wedding guests. In fact, a number of people commented on how professional Claire was, both on the day and after the wedding. We are so pleased with the photos Claire has produced and can't wait to receive the album she has put together. Working with Claire was amazing - she really took away a lot of wedding stress and made us feel totally calm on the day. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a wedding photographer (and book fast....she is very popular!!).

Claire was our photographer on the 18th of June 2016 and what can I say. She is an amazing photographer, she is so friendly really mingled in with all the guests like part of the family really. The end results of all the photos blow use away no word can describe how happy we were. An we would recommend Claire to our friends and can't wait for the next occasion we need a photographer because we wouldn't use anyone else but this fantastic lady. Thankyou again Claire be sure to hear from use in the future xx

Claire took photos of our son with us on his first birthday in a park. She was so patient and knew how to handle a baby. The photos were amazing as she captured some really adorable natural moments, no fake poses or staged expressions, just sets the scene and captured our family at our best. We cannot recommend her highly enough, worth every penny.

Claire has just taken some headshots for my daughter. She is kind, caring and helpful and got on wonderfully with my daughter. She even gave her a lift afterwards to where I was parked.

The photos are amazing and my daughter is super happy with them.

Clearly a very talented lovely lady and I will highly recommend.

Thank you so much Claire �
