Claire Hirst Photography

From the first contact with Claire, she made me feel at ease as I didn’t fully know which package I wanted but Claire was laid back and was happy to discuss at a later stage! Pre shoots were fantastic again so relaxed no pressure and the photos came out brilliant! Then the wedding, Claire just seemed to fit in as one of the guests, so many people said how they didn’t realise we had a photographer as she was so unobtrusive, this is the kind of photographer we wanted just nice and relaxed! We have seen some of the first look photos and they are absolutely fantastic, we will absolutely 100% recommend using Claire, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again and look forward to seeing all the photos!!

Claire shot our wedding in June 2019. From the moment we contacted her about availability she was responsive, friendly and very helpful. She encourages pre-wedding shoots which we were hesitant about as neither me or my husband are massive fans of the camera. But she put us at ease immediately and helped us organise the photos on the day. On the day she was professional but enjoyed a laugh. The guests loved her and we've been recommending her whenever we can! The quality of the photos are second to none and are ridiculously happy with the end results.

Claire photographed our wedding celebration (a party we had a few days after our wedding). We asked her to capture the reactions of guests arriving as this would be the first time they had seen us post wedding and we were thrilled with the photos. All the group shot she did were wonderful! The groups were quite big and she did a great job of making sure everyone was relaxed, the photos don't look too uniform or posed, they're perfect. From start to finish Claire has been very efficent, we got our photos back faster than expected. The slideshow was a lovely touch too! Great to show friends and family without having to spend forever scrolling through them all. Claire also did our pre-wedding photoshoot which was worthwhile as we were both nervous about posing in front of the camera-this definitely helped us feel more relaxed for the big day! We would recommend Claire 100%, she did a wonderful job of capturing the important moments we wanted, we trusted her on the day so we completely at ease. The photos are great and there's lots of them! They're all edited really well and we can't wait to hang them up! Perfect memories!

Claire was our wedding photographer in Aug 2019, she was amazing!! She was very professional, but also very happy & friendly and was able captured every moment of our wedding perfectly.We bought the package with Album and I am so glad we did! The Album is amazing quality and it's nice to be able look at all the amazing photos.I would highly recommend Claire for any photography shoots.I am hoping to be able to use her again to take photos of our baby next year.

A friend had recommended Claire most highly and after checking out her page (I saw photos of horses dogs, weddings and chocolate) I knew she was the only option. We hired Claire for our wedding and a boudoir shoot. The boudoir shoot was a liberating experience, she was reassuring and empowering and never pushed me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with yet at the same time suggested options without forcing anything, and this made for some cracking final shots. She then graciously agreed to travel to London for the wedding. Claire was very understanding when covid hit again and we had to postpone. She then took it all in her stride when the location and times of the wedding all changed with less than 48h notice due to some incredibly unforeseen circumstances. We went from a palace location to a more regular city setting which was a little disheartening at the time however she was so amenable, resourceful and incredibly pragmatic. She literally spent the whole afternoon, running around finding potential photo opportunities and following us during a most hectic day. She took some very constrictive instructions from the church and still managed to pull off some wonderful imagery. Claire created pure magic and beauty in surroundings where the potential for wow" shots was low and there was seemingly nothing interesting to be found to the layman's eye. She was happy to go along with our ideas as well

Where to begin!? Claire was my aunties photographer a few years ago and i always knew she'd be our photographer too when he'd eventually propose!Well, he did, finally! We booked our wedding around Claires availability. She was fantastic from the off and we kept in touch in the run up to the wedding. She had a lot to deal with at our pre-shoot as I'm so awkward and i was dreading it. We laughed so much i cried and she had so much patience. She knew i was having a nightmare the day before the wedding with a few things not going to plan so she turned up a little earlier on the day to show her support and get us ahead of schedule. Throughout the day she captured the moments you wouldn't even think of. Many guests complimented Claire to us throughout the day. What we love about Claire, is her personality and creativity. She has a fantastic sense of humour and it really puts you at ease in front of the lense, she just knows what she's doing. My husband and i adore our photos and album. 5 Stars, 10/10, 100% recommend, what a woman she is. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU x
