About
Hey, it’s so great to meet you! My name is Claire, and for over 10 years, I’ve shot weddings, big and small, throughout the east of Scotland. My work is cinematic and emotive yet natural, warm, and fun! Alongside my associate and good pal Josh, I offer packages that include either 1 or 2 photographers, as well as photography and film bundles. If you’d like authentic and heartfelt images with a classic, nostalgic look - get in touch! I’d love to hear your story…
