Hi, I'm Claire

 

I’m a wedding photographer based in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty — and yes, I love to travel.

My style is a mix of candid lifestyle moments and those “wow” shots every couple treasures. I believe the real magic often happens during the in-between moments; the laughs, the tears, the unplanned glances. Weddings are full of joy and raw emotion, and I’m there to capture it all.


With a warm, bubbly, friendly approach, I connect with your guests so they feel comfortable asking for photos, while also blending into the background for those intimate moments like your vows and speeches. My goal is simple: when you look back at your gallery, you’ll feel the emotions of your day all over again, not just see the images.


I would be honoured to capture your day!

Absolutely loved working with Claire.

From the initial phone call to the final photos the whole experience was amazing. Claire is not only professional, but personable, and I felt like she was a part of our wedding day as much as guests
