About Claire
Based between London and Vienna, I have spent eight years chasing light across cathedrals, vineyards, and quiet apartments where couples wake on their wedding morning.
My approach is unhurried. Before I raise the camera, I listen — to how you talk about each other, to where the light falls, to the small gestures you don't notice you're making. Those are the moments that will still move you in thirty years.
I trained under editorial photographers in Paris and have since published in Vogue Sposa, Magnolia Rouge, and 100 Layer Cake. But awards are secondary to one thing: images you genuinely love.

How It Works
A relaxed video call to understand your vision, venue, and what matters most to you on the day.
We map the day's timeline together, visit the venue virtually (or in person), and plan for every light condition.
I blend into your day. No rigid posing. I am there to observe, guide gently, and capture what is genuinely you.
Within 6 weeks, your private gallery goes live — curated, edited, and ready to download, share, and treasure forever.
Kind Words
Claire has an extraordinary ability to disappear into a day and reappear with images that feel more honest than memory. Our wedding album is the most precious object we own.

Married in Provence, France
I was convinced I didn't photograph well. Claire proved me completely wrong. The portraits she made of me changed how I see myself. That is not a small thing.
Sofia Brennan
Portrait client, London
We hired Claire for our elopement in the Dolomites. She hiked up at 5 am with us, said almost nothing, and handed us 600 images that look like a film I want to watch every year.
