    The Chadwick’s

    We couldn’t recommend Claire highly enough! She was incredibly professional, listened to exactly how we wanted our photos, and captured every special moment beautifully. Her interaction with our guests was fantastic, making everyone feel comfortable and creating such natural, stunning photos. We’re absolutely in love with our gallery! We also hugely appreciated Claire sending us a small gallery just 12 hours after our wedding — it was so special to relive those moments so quickly. Thank you, Claire!

    Beyond our expectations

    I honestly don't know where to start because I can't put into words how incredible Claire was.
    From the very beginning, her communication was amazing—thorough, kind and so reassuring. On the day, she wasn't just there to capture our wedding perfectly; she was such a calming presence and made both my partner and me feel completely at ease. We're not usually comfortable in front of a camera, but she brought out the best in us and captured the perfect mix of romantic and candid moments.

    We've just received our photos and videos, and looking through them is like reliving our special day all over again. Everyone who speaks about our wedding mentions how lovely Claire was and how incredible our photos are.
    I couldn't recommend Claire more. We're so grateful for everything she did, and we'll definitely be asking her to capture our next big family celebration.

    Kiss The Bride Photography's reply:

    Thank you both so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Reading this honestly means the world to me.

    It was such a privilege to be part of your wedding day, and I'm so happy that you both felt comfortable and able to enjoy every moment. That's always my biggest hope.

    I'm so glad your photos and films have allowed you to relive the day all over again, and hearing that your family and friends enjoyed having me there is such a lovely compliment too.

    Thank you for trusting me with such an important day. I genuinely can't wait to see you both again and would be absolutely honoured to capture your next family celebration when the time comes.

    Amazing work!

    Could not have asked for a better photographer! Thank you so much Claire for capturing such a beautiful perspective of our day. The photos are wonderful.

    Claire was so kind and helpful from the moment we first enquired. She made us feel at ease throughout the whole wedding day, captured amazing directed shots and beautiful candids, and we never felt any pressure.

    It was also amazing to receive some brilliant photos so soon after the wedding. It was lovely to look back at all the special moments and little details from the day.

    We couldn’t recommend Claire enough!

    Kiss The Bride Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Reece, for your incredibly kind words. It was a genuine privilege to be part of yours and Serena's wedding day and to document such a special celebration for you both.

    Knowing that you felt completely at ease throughout the day means so much to me, as creating a relaxed experience is just as important as delivering beautiful photographs. I'm delighted that you enjoyed receiving your preview gallery so soon after the wedding and that the images have allowed you to relive those precious moments together.

    Thank you for placing your trust in me and for taking the time to share your experience. Wishing you both every happiness as you begin this exciting new chapter together. It was an honour to tell your story.

    Claire xx

    Claire is Amazing!!!

    Claire is such a warm and kind person as well as being extremely talented. She was so attentive throughout the whole day and our guests loved her! Couldn’t recommend Claire more!!

    Kiss The Bride Photography's reply:

    Thank you both so much for your incredibly kind words.

    It was such a joy to be part of your beautiful day at Ashfield House, every detail was stunning, from the florals to the wonderfully relaxed atmosphere you created for everyone there.

    You were both an absolute dream to photograph, and your warmth and generosity towards all of your suppliers truly stood out. Your thoughtful gifts were so appreciated and such a reflection of the kind people you are.

    I’m so happy to hear your guests loved having me there too! It honestly felt like spending the day with friends, and I feel very lucky to have captured such a special celebration for you both. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together 🤍

    Cannot imagine my wedding without Claire!

    I honestly can’t recommend Claire enough!
    Firstly, her photos speak for themselves - they are absolutely stunning - beyond what we could ever have hoped for!
    Claire was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process - quick to reply to messages, helping us to plan times for the day and taking makeup and speeches to the venue that we’d forgotten(!).
    On top of all of that, she is one of the loveliest people ever, which was so important to us, as we had a small family wedding.

    Kiss The Bride Photography's reply:

    Tori & Gareth,

    You two were so lovely to work with, your day was a joy from start to end and I just loved how much fun you both were. To say that you both are surrounded by love would be an understatement, it is clear to see how much your family and friends think of you both and your gorgeous daughter. I just wish we could go back and do it all again!
    I hope our paths cross again in the future, sending love until they do xx

    THE best!!

    Where do I even begin?
    From the moment we met Claire at our pre-wedding photoshoot nothing was too much effort. She was the best energy that put myself, my husband and our young son at ease in front of the camera, allowing us to get so many special shots that we will hold dear for the rest of our days. It solidified to us that without a doubt we had chose the right photographer for the job and the pictures spoke for themselves. We left, with full hearts and achey cheeky bones, ready and itching to meet again on our wedding day.
    Of course, we were excited for so many things on our wedding day but knowing Claire would be there was amongst these. When she arrived it was like seeing a long lost friend again, so familiar and comfortable. She was not only an amazing photographer capturing every detail but a helper, caring and giving all the tips and tricks that were very much needed. From helping the groom and groomsmen tie their ties and fasten their button holes to storing my snacks as I managed my blood sugar levels secretly 12 weeks pregnant.
    We rolled into bed at the end of the best day, debriefing about it all and Claire was for sure one of top things we raved about. I guess words can’t put it all into perspective, it was a feeling and something we both cherished. We went on to our little honeymoon a few days later and received (what felt like) our full wedding album within no time. Less than a week on and we had upwards of 100 photos. We beamed from ear to ear as we reminisced.
    As planned, a couple of months later we received our full wedding album. Our jaws dropped upon seeing the amount of pictures taken ! Nothing was missed and so much more than we could have wished of was captured. Again, it felt like our minds were aligned, the tiny details, the things we perhaps didn’t get to see were all photographed and we saw the entirety of our day through more than one thousand photos.
    If you made it this far, I guess what I’m trying to say is BOOK CLAIRE RIDING!! You certainly won’t regret it and if you don’t book her invite her to your wedding she was amongst our favourite guests 🤣!
    Thank you so much Claire, you’ll forever have a special place in our hearts. x

    Kiss The Bride Photography's reply:

    Oh my word, thank you, thank you, thank you for the most lovely review ever. I'm actually a bit tearful reading it.

    It means so much to me that you had such a positive experience, it really is all I aim for.

    I totally agree with the long lost friend bit and again, having that kind of connection with my couples is an absolute dream. I feel like I should start writing reviews back about my couples as I'd definitely give you 10/10! you were so wonderful to get to know and to work with and you made my job an total dream.

    Thank you for trusting me with such a precious role on your wedding day.

    I cant wait to hear all the news about your growing family.

    hopefully see you all again in the future,

    Claire xxx

    Formby Beach

    I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Claire on a styled wedding shoot at Formby beach.

    Claire was a joy to work with from start to finish! She was warm, friendly and had put so much energy into ensuring the shoot went off without a hitch.

    She gave us models the freedom of expression, but offered invaluable feedback to make sure we got the perfect shot. She had some fabulous ideas but was also open to our suggestions and her beautiful persona made a long, cold day on the beach a joyful experience.

    She turned the images around incredibly quickly and I can say as an experienced model, they were hands down some of the most beautiful images I’ve received.

    Highly recommend and would love to work with Claire again.

    Kiss The Bride Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Sarah for such lovely and kind words. I absolutely loved our day together and was in awe of you and the way you work. You are so professional, so energetic and able to look so naturally beautiful even in extreme conditions!!

    Can we do all over again please!

    Claire is amazing !

    I got married on the 8th of August 2025 in Manchester. Two years prior to my wedding, I attended a wedding fair in fallow fields where my fiancé James and I met Claire for the first time!

    We fell in love with Claire instantly, we were drew to her calming nature and open mind about wedding photography! We didn’t want too many ‘traditional’ photographs and long drawn out family photos. Claire was really understanding about this and I trusted her whole heartedly.

    I had so much faith in Claire from the get go but she managed to exceeded my expectations, not only are the photos incredible and a testament to her talent, she was honestly in so many moments a calming influence amongst the mayhem.

    My favourite two moments with Claire were her rushing to get me an ‘emergency prosseco’ whilst I was stressed putting my wedding dress on and just as I was feeling slightly overwhelmed Claire asking James and I if she could take photographs of us ‘snogging in the lift’. This was a funny moment ( and outstanding photo) but unbeknown to Claire at the time she really helped me to have a moment to breathe.

    Claire also encouraged our aperol spritz to be featured frequently in our pics which we LOVED ( almost as much as the drink itself )

    The moments me and James had alone to have photographs taken were so special and looking back we both say that they were one of ours favourite wedding moments! Claire made that happen! I’ve never considered myself to by the most photogenic and I can be awkward with cameras but Claire put me at so much ease.

    Thankyou so much again Claire, I can’t thank you enough ! Thankyou for being an amazing photographer but also an amazing person !

    Love Toni and James (Mr and Mrs Robinson)

    Kiss The Bride Photography's reply:

    Toni & James,

    Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean the world. From our very first meeting to that final shot under the Manchester street lights, I’ve loved every moment of your wedding journey.

    I’ve always believed that being a wedding photographer is about so much more than just the photographs, it’s about connecting with each couple, making them feel at ease, and allowing their day to unfold naturally. I’m so happy I was able to do that for you both. Capturing your day was truly a joy, and I feel so lucky to have shared it with you.

    I hope we get to meet again in the future, the Aperols will be on me! xx

    Best decision!♡

    Clare was wonderful. Right from the beginning when we had an informal chat before I booked i knew she was perfect. Really down to earth but professional at the same time. On the ŕŕ Clare was so helpful she knew what we wanted snd hit the brief - we love our photos. All the guests commented on how nice she was which is massive when it comes to a photographer as some can be pushy and annoying. Super flexible and just great. You wont find a better service or woman. Feel like ive made a friend ♡

    Kiss The Bride Photography's reply:

    Vicky,
    Thank you so much for the most gorgeous feedback. I absolutely loved capturing your day for you. You and Jay were so much fun to work with. I'm so happy that you're happy and I hope or paths cross again in the future.
