... Snap, absolutely me too, it's like my worst nightmare which is why I much prefer to be this side of the lens but because I know what it feels like to be nervous in front of the camera, I can help my couples to relax with simple guidance, by not being up in your face with a camera, by giving you space to breathe and just be yourselves, I'm absolutely not about awkward posing or big grins straight down the lens, in fact I rarely ask you to look directly at me, its more about capturing the connection you share naturally.
I'm based in Staffordshire and cover Staffordshire, Cheshire, the West Midlands, and Shropshire as my core areas but I'm very happy to travel across the UK and beyond.
Predominantly, I offer an inconspicuous, storytelling approach so that my couples don't feel like they are participating in a 12-hour photoshoot. I put my heart and soul into every single wedding that I photograph and am passionate about telling the unique story of your wedding day through a relaxed and informal documentary-style approach, placing a distinct emphasis on capturing what is real rather than what is set up. This style of photography builds a complete picture, the who, the where, and the whys - essentially, it tells a beautiful story, your story.
Not long at all! You’ll get a preview hitting your inbox within normally 24 hours of the wedding so something to look at and share whilst I prepare your final gallery. This is around 8-10 weeks in high peak season and 6-8 at other times of the year.

We know choosing a photographer is a big deal, it's not just about great images but the energy they bring and how they treat you and your guests. We would love to arrange a call to get to know each other a little and ensure we are the perfect fit.
"We really couldn't recommend Claudia higher for wedding photography. On the big day, she was incredibly efficient, knowledgeable and great fun to be around too!! The end result was beautiful photographs hand-delivered in person by Claudia, and memories we will be able to look back on so happily. Considering how competitively priced our package was we really couldn't have found anything better even paying a hell of a lot more, and so we wholeheartedly recommend Hello & Forever for your special day"
"Claudia was our first, only, and perfect choice! We absolutely loved her relaxed style and attitude to wedding photographs, and right from my initial phone call through to the fond farewell after the wedding she could not have been more engaging, enthusiastic, professional but fun, and a pleasure to have join us on our day. The photos are jaw-droppingly beautiful. Genuinely so happy with them all!!"
"After our initial meeting, I knew Claudia was the right person to photograph our wedding. My fiance doesn’t like being in front of the camera and straight away we warmed to Claudia - she was friendly with a great sense of humour and made us feel comfortable. On the day she was fantastic! She was able to organise us/guests whilst still managing to stay in the background. Many people commented on how brilliant she was and our wedding photos are incredible! Really unique and captured us/the day perfectly.”
"Having Claudia take our photos was like having a close friend with us on the day, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, never asking us to pose or smile. The photos are out of this world and everyone has been asking us who we used… We would both recommend Claudia wholeheartedly – so much more than just a photographer!!"
Shy, camera-anxious couples look no further! We are a shy couple who needed direction and Claudia knew exactly how to get the perfect shots. Her creativity shows through in the images she captures and she throws 100% of herself into the day - literally - if it means getting down to the ground to get the perfect angle, she will do it! She made us laugh so much during our photos we totally forgot that she was actually taking photos! Honestly look no further! Thank you again Claudia, you were incredible!
