Clive Blair Photography

Clive was suggested to us by our wedding venue (Ashton Lodge Country House) and we are so thrilled we decided to choose him for our wedding photographer. From the very first meeting with us, he came across friendly and extremely professional. We had looked at some of his photos on social media already and absolutely loved his documentary style photography.On our wedding day itself Clive's attention to detail did not go unnoticed by our guests. Right from the beginning, before the church service, Clive was working hard to capture all of the emotion, conversations and interactions before the bride arrived. He was so discreet during the service and captured every moment so beautifully.We are over the moon with the final photos. They are so beautiful and our family and friends also love them as well, saying Clive has captured the day perfectly. Our guests had nothing but positive things to say about Clive and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly and professional photographer. Thank you so much Clive for making our day so memorable, putting us at ease in front of the camera and for producing some beautiful wedding photos for us to look back on in years to come.

Booking Clive was the best decision we made for our wedding day alongside choosing Bordesley Park Wedding Venue. Clive's unintrusive style of documentary photography has captured so many wonderful natural photographs of the day, it felt like we were reliving the day again when we were looking through them. I cannot speak highly enough of Clive, from the moment he arrived to capture us getting ready, to the guests arrival, the magnificent countryside venue, and the slightly wilder late night dancing photo's! I am not quite sure how he managed it, but from the photo's he took he appeared to be everywhere all at once!On top of this the frankly stunning sunset photo's he took of us were some of the best pictures we have ever seen, and I have never had so many friends and family in awe this much over a set of photo's before.Clive was simply fantastic at interacting with us and the guests, warm, personable, genuine and kind, putting people at ease allowing him to catch some deeply personal moments. He even managed to get our daughter to relax and be photographed, which she would normally avoid.We simply cannot recommend Clive highly enough as would our friends and family.

We first spotted Clive’s work when we looked around our wedding venue and his photobook was on display, and we were immediately drawn to his storytelling style and the way he captured moments so beautifully! We booked the full-day package which was perfect because we’ve got really great shots from getting ready in the morning all the way to the sparkler exit at night, which tells the complete story! The photos are stunning, and Clive was so much fun to be around all day. The guests all loved him, and he made everyone very comfortable. The groom had a couple of special requests for certain shots, and Clive captured them perfectly. We would highly recommend him to anyone, you won’t regret it!

We chose Clive as our photographer due to his style where we wouldn’t have to have lots of posed photographs. Clive really made our day fun and easy going and we love how he involved all of our guests. He really made us feel comfortable and as a result we were able to just enjoy the day.The photos have exceeded our expectations and they really take us back to the day, Clive was able to catch moments we may have missed or wouldn’t have remembered. We are really glad we chose Clive to be our wedding day photographer.

We had Clive photograph our wedding on the 1st July 2023 in Norfolk and we cannot fault him! He delightfully arrived earlier than he initially said, and made us feel so at ease. As someone who doesn’t like being in front of a camera, Clive was amazing! All of our guests said to us how comfortable they felt around Clive, and how he just slotted in perfectly with the guests. He left a positive lasting impression on all of the guests and also us too!Clive drove all the way from Birmingham to Norfolk to shoot our wedding.He was incredible and we’ve already recommended him to multiple people. If you go with Clive, you will not regret it!Thanks so much Clive!

From first finding Clive and his website, we were beyond impressed. The process of trying to find the right vendors was a bit overwhelming, and we found his website a really helpful resource. It was very clear on exactly what he was offering as a photographer, with prices, timeframes and plenty of portfolio pictures to be able to see his style. We knew immediately that we wanted Clive to document our wedding, so reached out to see if he was available. He replied so quickly and we were able to set up a zoom call to meet. The call was successful and we were delighted to book Clive for our wedding.On the day, Clive was exactly what we would have wanted and knew exactly what we would need. He was kind, approachable and accommodating - he made the day so easy, and we also didn't feel like we missed any of the day having to take time out to take photos. Our photos are beautiful, and there are so many candid photos of our guests which we love - it feels like we get to relive our day through the photographs. The turnaround time for photos was three weeks, which meant we had them just after returning from our honeymoon, and got to reminisce on our wedding day. Additionally, we have received so many compliments about Clive from our guests, both on his conduct on the day, and subsequently once we have received our photos on the quality of his work.We cannot express how grateful we are for Clive and his beautiful photos.

Clive did an absolutely fantastic job capturing our special day.The shots he got are amazing, so many brilliant moments and memories for us to look back on.So many guests commented on how friendly and fun he was on the day, and our 7 year old in particular thought he was amazing!We couldn't recommend Clive highly enough, he's a great guy, and a brilliant photographer!

Clive is a professional who knows Witley Court well. He is friendly and creates relaxing atmosphere that make us less nervous. He arrived the venue about 30 minutes earlier than appointment time. Clive guides us through the shooting venue and suggested how to pose. I felt relax shooting with him. The photos finished within just about a week and they are all beautiful and look natural. Thank you very much Clive!

Wow where to begin with our experience with Clive! We booked Clive when visiting a wedding fair, as soon as we met Clive we knew he was the one, very friendly, chatty, answered all questions we had, showed us his portfolio of work and we were just blown away. Clive is very different to your standard photographer, he is a story teller, he doesn’t make you do lots of formal photos, he blends into the background and snaps the most beautiful natural photos with genuine smiles, that is what makes Clive unique. From start to finish of our wedding he has captured every moment from shots of genuine emotion, to shots of complete happiness and laughter. All our guests approached us praising his work, he was here there and everywhere catching the most beautiful natural shots. We are totally in love with all our photos, but some of our favourites are the silhouette photos by the sun set, Clive knew exactly when to grab us and catch these amazing photos! Honestly can’t praise Clive enough, anyone needing a photographer, go with Clive, you won’t regret it.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Clive, you have photographed our wedding so perfectly and we forever have the best memories of our wedding day. We will cherish these photos forever.LoveMr & Mrs Gibbs

If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture every beautiful moment of your day, then look no further than Clive! I am the kind of person who over researches everything but I fell in love with Clive’s photos immediately. Even so, I was second guessing if I had made the right decision long after we booked. After all, these photos would be the memories that we would carry with us into our married life. All of these fears were immediately dispelled the second we met Clive for our pre-wedding photoshoot! Me and my husband are quite introverted and not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but Clive made us feel at ease instantly. He is so open and friendly and we felt like we’d known him years by half way through the session. Everything felt so natural and easy. We were over the moon when shortly after we received the most beautiful photos back.For our wedding and reception, we were lucky enough to have Lydia also join Clive and the pair were so professional and amazing throughout. We have been complimented so much on how friendly and reassuring their presence was, and the outstanding quality of their photos. They managed to capture every special fleeting moment and significant detail of our wedding ceremony and reception, pre-empting every moment as it unfolded. Clive has an exceptional talent for freezing those sweet, candid moments in time, creating lasting memories that we will cherish forever. What truly stood out was his incredible ability to capture the genuine joy on our faces. Every photo exudes the happiness and love we felt during these extraordinary moments in our lives.From start to finish, Clive made the entire process effortless. His unobtrusive approach was remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background yet was somehow also everywhere all at once. His documentary style not only resulted in stunning photos but also allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the day without feeling constantly watched. He navigated any unexpected challenges with grace, and played a huge role in ensuring our special day went smoothly, despite a few hiccups! His dedication to his craft was evident in every photo, and his editing style beautifully enhanced the final product.We are immensely grateful for Clive and the incredible work he did to capture the essence of our love story. The images he created will be treasured by our family for generations to come. If you are in search of a photographer who not only has a remarkable eye for detail but also a heartwarming personality, Clive is the one. We wholeheartedly recommend him for your wedding.Thank you, Clive, for making our wedding experience so memorable and for delivering photos that exceed our wildest expectations! You're a true artist, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
