Claire Penn

Hello you…

I’m Claire. CHESTER-BASED Wedding photographer, Schitt’s creek obsessive and DOG lover. Pleased to meet you!

 

I have a gorgeous Tibetan terrier called Badger. I cannot walk past a dog without petting it. You should probably know that I’m secretly hoping there’ll be a dog at your wedding. Even if you don’t have one.

I don’t stress easily, I’m really calm, often daft and always cheerful. I cry at soppy stuff. I will totally have your backs on the day (whilst taking great photos of your front). Occasionally a potty mouth, though I promise NEVER to swear in front of your gran.

I believe love is love regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, religion or ability. Your wedding day brings all of that love to the surface. When I see it, I feel it. It’s what draws my eye and makes me press the shutter.




 

Zero Awkwardness

Sure, I can use the words ‘relaxed, creative, natural' wedding photography til I’m blue in the face - but what does this actually mean for you? 

 

It means beautiful wedding photos that not only look like you, but FEEL like you too.  

You don’t want anything straight-laced or stuffy and you definitely don’t want to be doing cheesy poses. 

You want real photos that transport you straight back… so much so that you can practically smell / feel / hear those moments.

Emotion-filled, gasp inducing, “WOW” photos that are authentically YOU.

You don’t want anything straight-laced or stuffy and you definitely don’t want to be doing cheesy poses. 

You want real photos that transport you straight back… so much so that you can actually see / smell / feel / hear / lick those moments (but please don’t lick your phone or laptop).

Emotion-filled, gasp inducing, “oh WOW” photos that are authentically YOU.

“I’ve never liked a smile as much as I like yours. I’ve never felt as safe as I do when I’m with you. I’ve never known love like I have when we’re together. It’s not been an easy road for me, but knowing that you will always be there for me at the end of it, makes everything okay. Patrick Brewer - you are my happy ending.”

- David Rose, Schitt’s Creek
