Claudia is an absolute star and legend!!!!

We were lucky enough to have Claudia capture our day, and let me tell you she is absolutely incredible! She got all the little moments you don’t even know you wanted! She it was like having a family friend with us on our wedding day! From the moment we booked Claudia and the prep and planning was impeccable, and she was so discreet on the day which is what you want! It was all just perfect and had us in tears (happy tears of course!)
If you want the best, book Claudia, you won’t regret it!!

Thank you again and much love,
Mr & Mrs Karasz x

Perfect day captured by amazing photographers

From start to finish Lydia was amazing. She made everyone feel comfortable and couldn’t help enough on our big day. She felt like another friend in the room and we were sad to see her leave at the end of the day. We decided on having second photographer and it was 100% the right decision. They are very close friends and are amazing team. Lydia worked wonders with our very small children who weren’t always very cooperative and us who aren’t naturals behind the camera. We have had our sneak peak and can’t wait to see the rest of our photos. Thank you to you both x

Everything we wanted!

We can’t recommend Claudia at Hello Forever Photography enough! Before the wedding, we met over Zoom so Claudia could get a sense of who we were as a couple and what we wanted from our wedding photos. On the day itself, Claudia was brilliant - she was really helpful, friendly and professional. We got some beautiful pictures that we now have on our wall at home. We’ve been so happy with our choice of photographer and really can’t recommend Claudia enough. Thank you!!!!

We couldn't be more thrilled! Claudia comes highly recommended.

She really did tick all the boxes. Extremely responsive, flexible when our needs changed, very friendly and attentive, plus great value for money.
Our initial choice to use Claudia was based on her portfolio of amazing photographs but from the moment we met her on a facetime chat we knew we had chosen the right photographer. Claudia is genuine, relaxed fun!! We really did feel in safe hands and were able to relax and enjoy our day.
The photos we received really do speak for themselves and we are thrilled to have our day captured so well. To make it look and feel so effortless takes real class and many of our guests have remarked that they weren't even aware of Claudia's presence, which is why she was able to consistently capture so many natural, candid, joyful photographs.
Claudia really did capture everybody in their best light and we couldn't be happier with the results. "Worth every penny", to quote one very close friend.

Couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

When we booked Claudia, we knew it was the right choice, from the very start she answered all of our queries and honestly felt like a friend!
On the morning of our wedding she was fantastic! I was a bag of nerves and she did everything she could to make me feel at ease. She even fixed my flowers and added my bouquet charms ❤️ honestly I could not recommend her more!!!

I could not have asked for a better photographer!

Claudia was incredible. She was accommodating, kind, and got on with all the guests. She captured so many things that we didn’t see and every time we look at the photos, we remember something new! I really could not have asked for a better photographer to take pictures at our wedding. Thank you so much!

Excellent Service

Claudia and Matt have been amazing to work with! They were so friendly and approachable, very understanding and patient and showed extreme interest in our story and wanted to make sure they captured very important moments of the day! I’m so happy I chose them for my wedding!

Shy, camera anxious couples look no further!

We are a shy couple who needed direction and Claudia knew exactly how to get the perfect shots. Her creativity shows through in the images she captures and she throws 100% of herself into the day - literally - if it means getting down to the ground to get the perfect angle, she will do it! She made us laugh so much during our photos we totally forgot that she was actually taking photos! Honestly look no further! Thank you again Claudia, you were incredible!

Amazing photographer

Claudia was the perfect addition to our day, and we couldn’t be happier with the photographs we received! We wanted a more relaxed photographer so that the photos would have less of a posed feeling and Claudia definitely delivered! She was present throughout the day and helped create some gorgeous shots. I would recommend Claudia to anyone looking to get married in the area. In addition our photos were beautifully hand delivered in a commemorative box. Couldn’t ask for more!

Reliable, professional service capturing our special day perfectly.

Claudia provided an excellent service for our small wedding, being flexible and professional, we couldn't have wished for a better photographer! The selection of images was amazing and exceeded our expectations, capturing a mix of natural and posed shots. She put everyone at ease and worked extremely hard throughout the day. We are so happy with the photographs, we would recommend her to anyone for any occasion big or small. Thanks, Claudia so much!

Fantastic wedding photographer- beautiful photos

Claudia is an amazing wedding photographer which we can highly recommend. She is super organised and talented and always makes sure to visit your venue in advance and find photo hot spots. We are so delighted with our gorgeous photos and how she uses light and moody tones in her photos. Thank you for capturing such beautiful memories of our wedding day, Claudia!

The photos are absolutely STUNNING!

Claudia did a fabulous job capturing our special day. We met up with her prior to our wedding to discuss what we wanted from our photos and which shots would be important to us. This meant we didn't need to think about anything on the day, knowing everything was covered. She also captured some beautiful moments, meaning that looking back over the photos brings back such fond memories of an amazing day. Fully recommended!

Photographer

Hi! My name is Claudia. I am a Female West Midlands based Wedding Photographer – Birmingham, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Wales, UK.

I love taking photos, I love weddings & I love my job. Photography to me has always been about capturing the story and emotion in each moment.. My shooting and editing style is candid… very relaxed, with a natural look, I try to stay invisible! I am camera shy and super awkward in front of it so I feel some couples pain and what they might be going though during couple wedding photo session. So I am happy to direct or distract you guys to get the relaxed and loving photos you will cherish forever.

I have been photographing for 10 years. I love nothing more than a surprise of what is hidden behind a next wedding. I studied photography at Coventry University which feels like a lifetime ago! My first camera was a Canon 500d and my first photos from it were far from perfection! My Camera collection is forever evolving! Its been a long and bumpy ride for me to get where I am now but I would not change it for a world.

I truly LOVE What I do!
