From 1 hour of coverage to 9 hours, which is usually from preparations to sometime after the first dance (I love it when the guests hit the dance floor!). Extra hours can be added to suit your day.

Claire O'Brien Photography Full Description

As a Northamptonshire, Midlands-based wedding and portrait photographer, I can't think of a better job. I shoot candidly & creatively and like to seek out joyful moments and interactions. I am led by my couples and the people they surround themselves with to create natural, honest, fresh, and timeless photographs that will evoke memories for years to come. My approach is warm, friendly, and relaxed. I will join you in your excitement and desire to have the best day of your lives. I adore working with hopeless romantics whose goals are to make their weddings how they want them to be and cherish the happy memories they will make for themselves and their guests. I find it a privilege to be trusted to photograph such an important day and ensuring that you feel comfortable is essential. I will be there to help guide you when you need me and blend with your guests to capture the special moments. Building a rapport with my couples is key to creating the natural and beautiful images they want. I have worked at some amazing venues here in the UK such as The Woodlands at Hothorpe Hall in Northamptonshire, The Crazy Bear in Oxfordshire, Holmewood Hall in Cambridgeshire, and Kilworth House in Leicestershire. Each has offered a truly unique and gorgeous backdrop for some incredible weddings.

They are timeless photos

“Oh Claire! Having you on our wedding day was an absolute dream! Your presence in the morning was so friendly and comforting, you put everyone at ease! The photos themselves are utterly gorgeous, I've never felt so beautiful! They are timeless photos but they really feel like you caught the essence of our day and all the vibrance and fun that was had! Thank you so much for capturing the day and leaving us with photos that we will never tire of looking at!”

Claire just blended right into our day

“Claire was absolutely amazing during the duration of our special day! She put everyone at ease and has captured some stunning photos… …Our 20 month old daughter was rationing her smiles on the day but Claire was even able to get those on camera too. Claire just blended right into our day and despite there being lots of photographs taken, it didn’t disrupt the day in any way and everyone really enjoyed themselves.”

Claire is an amazing photographer

“Claire is an amazing photographer... The photos Claire takes capture the warm, and natural feeling of the moment. Meeting Claire, we were both relaxed for the whole session... For those moments we didn't know what to do Claire stepped in and guided us. On the day of the wedding, Claire guided everyone when it came time for photos… Claire felt part of the family by the end of the night. The final photos are amazing… Claire is very LGBTQ+ friendly and I can't recommend her enough.

The moment we met Claire she made us feel at ease

“We chose Claire to be our wedding photographer and what a brilliant choice it was. From the moment we met Claire she made us feel at ease which continued throughout, there was no pressure and any questions we had she was more than happy to answer. Claire kept in contact from the moment we confirmed booking through to our special day… Not only did we book a wedding photographer but we gained a friend in Claire also.”

FAQs

Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Apart from my own, I can remember a part of each wedding I've photographed. Every wedding has that little something that makes them so wonderfully unique and memorable. It's my job to capture it!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, vibrant, fresh, fun, and relaxed.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am proud of helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Do what's right for you, don't sweat the small stuff!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Every guest had their own wedding favour that was unique to their likes and interests. The couple must have spent hours thinking about gifts for each of their guests which I thought was very touching.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

An initial chat so I can understand the goals for your big day. We get excited. I plan. We visit the venue where possible. We work together to fine-tune the details. The fun happens. I edit. You get a sneak peek of your photos. I continue editing. You receive your gallery and kick back to reminisce about your day. We discuss. I produce your album. You receive it with my love. I hope to see you again!

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

For me it's simple. Natural and candid shots of you chatting together and enjoying the moment.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I waded into the sea (armpit deep) to capture the bride, groom, and guests holding hands and running into the sea. Yep, it was fun!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

The best advice is, don't worry about it! I have a collection of gorgeous umbrellas so, if you're feeling brave, we can venture out for some fun shots in the rain.

Describe how you got into photography.

I enjoyed taking photos as a child. My dad bought a semi-professional camera when I was a teenager and I used it more than him! I progressed my love for art and photography at university and honed my skills working in a studio for 6 years. I then started a family and my wedding photography business. I'm a very lucky girl living my dream!
