Claire Penn | Digital + 35mm Film Wedding Photographer | UK + Europe

I’m Claire – a Chester based wedding photographer working all across the UK, Europe and worldwide. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 15 years and still genuinely love what I do. There’s nothing quite like being part of such a big, emotional, brilliantly unpredictable day — it never gets old. Every celebration is different, and that’s what keeps me inspired.

My approach is simple: I blend a documentary style with an editorial approach – creating images that feel effortless but considered. No stiff poses, no forced moments. Just genuine connection, good light, and photographs that feel true to you.

I’m there to photograph the laughter, the energy, the quiet hand-holds, the full-on dance-floors… the real scenes of your day. I’ll stay in the moment with you, keep things relaxed, and focus on what actually happens.

When you look back, I want your images to feel like the day did – full of people you love, full of emotion, full of life – but with the kind of style and substance that stands the test of time.
