Hi, my name is Clare I am a Lake District wedding photographer. I am a country girl through and through, being born and raised in The Lake District is an absolute blessing.
With offerings of magnificent landscapes, breathtaking waterfalls, beautiful Lakes and seasonal changes alongside the ever varied weather conditions; this natural playground chimes with my love of the outdoors.
I'm based only a stones throw from Windermere, Coniston, and the hidden gems of the West Lake District. My family farm upon Cartmel Fell overlooking one of the best views in the South Lakes. Whether I am working the land or photographing the beauty of it, each inch is one I treasure.
Maybe it is the unruined natural scenes and wildlife, or is it the moody skies and sunny spells that sculpt the picturesque mountain views that keeps me tied to my home?
(Writing this I smile). I know all too well it is the early mornings when I feel like Beatrix Potter, as the wildlife cascades the walls into the woodland, when the crisp fresh air and rain that sprinkles my face when I least expect it. It is the charming peaceful silence that I've never found anywhere else. Like many, I could sit for hours listening to the waters upon the shores and taking in the skyline of peaks transforms as the clouds roll over them.
Your Lake District Wedding Photography Experience...
You're here because your love for the Cumbrian Lake District National Park echoes mine, and you are now looking for a local photographer who is as passionate about documenting the whole scene, not just your wedding day, raw emotions and moments. The whole scene, including the views, conditions, textures, and of course your love for the adventure. Like the scenery in the Lakes, it is heartfelt, detailed and natural working with me.
Exploring the Lakes over the past 32 years of my life has allowed me to unlock a directory of beautiful accessible locations, enabling anyone I work with to take full advantage of what nature has to offer us. This is my home, my playground and I am here to share it with you both.
Every wedding is bespoke, there is no one size fits all.
Are you opting to elope(?), maybe you are going for a weekend wedding retreat, or even a full week long Lake District celebration of love.
Raw, heartfelt photography starts with one thing; genuine connection. Not only the connection with people, but the photographers connection with the environment and moments that unfold within it.
As your photographer I ensure your wedding is seen with fresh eyes whilst working with the personal elements of your day, reading the room, then photographing accordingly.
Everyone enjoying your day is at the heart of my work. Your wedding day is bespoke to you, I cover your wedding capturing the aspects that truely mean the most to you both. If that means trecking up a mountain, a Lakeside splash, paddle board, horse ride or maybe you simply want peace and calm, I am here for what suits you.
I am dedicated to the whole process, including supporting you with finding quality Lake District suppliers, picturesque portrait locations, wedding timeline structures, and much more.
If you are marrying in the Lake District National Park, or maybe slightly further afield in The Yorkshire Dales, Lancashire, or bonnie Scotland, I would love to hear from you both.
