Family and wedding photography in the Borough of Richmond
Beautiful,creative,heartfelt imagery for you to cherish forever
I am a multi award winning family and wedding photographer,based in South West London.
My photography is about capturing the moment, finding the extraordinary in every shot, working hard and aiming to please - all whilst having a thoroughly good time.
So, let me tell you a little bit about myself, my work and what I can offer you.
My main role is that of a mother. I have two children, Ellie (13) and Johnny (5) - but years before Ellie came along, I trained in press photography at Sheffield College (the exclusive NCTJ course, under Paul Delmar, if anyone's interested!)
From there I worked for a couple of local newspapers and a national newspaper too. I photographed a lot of famous faces and events(Rik Mayall,Tara Palmer Tomkinson,Shelley Long,and the funeral of Ronnie Kray,to name a few)and worked with some inspirational people. But I soon realised that I had to grow up, settle down and get a ‘proper’ job.
When Ellie was around two or three years old, I bought a new camera (my first digital slr), and found my feet again. By the time Johnny was a toddler, I had started my photography business.
So, can you just imagine how thrilled I feel every day to be doing what I am doing now?
I absolutely love producing truly beautiful, emotive, timeless images for people. I feel honoured to be able to preserve such incredibly special memories. But don't get me wrong - I don't take myself too seriously! I will happily make a complete fool of myself to get a giggle from a grumpy toddler. I will lie in deer poo to get the best angle of a child running towards me. And I have cried at more weddings I have worked at than I have at It's a Wonderful Life (and that's saying something!)
I am also a registered member of the Guild of photographers and The Society of Wedding and Portrait photographers.
If I sound like your kind of photographer, then please do get in touch.
I can't wait to meet you and turn those fleeting moments of joy into visual mementos that you can all treasure forever.
Claire
