Your Midlands Wedding - April/May 2025 (Issue 97)

CAPTURING MEMORIES Cherished Photography by Claudia captures stunning weddings throughout Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, although she’s always up for an adventure and often travels for work. Specialising in photographing weddings as they naturally unfold, Claudia has a knack for capturing those little moments – the silly, spontaneous bits that reflect the essence of the event. One of Claudia’s favourite parts of weddings is the bridal prep. She has had the pleasure of photographing in stunning settings, such as hotels overlooking breathtaking grounds or cosy kitchens where pizza is delivered, music fills the air and laughter abounds. Each scenario is perfect in its own way. Claudia loves that many couples celebrate on their terms, creating unique experiences that stray from traditional trends. To ensure a personalised experience, Claudia offers a consultation with all her couples. It’s a laid-back chat over a cup of tea, where she learns about their theme, colour choices, and any surprises they might have in store. She’s genuinely interested in every detail, including how long they’ve been together – and yes, she always asks about the shoes! This information is vital, as she believes in providing a bespoke service rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach to editing. She wants to ensure each couple’s story is beautifully captured and represented. As the wedding day approaches, she can delve deeper into the specifics. We’ve teamed up with the company to offer readers an exclusive opportunity of £100 off a full day’s coverage for 2025/2026 weddings for the first 15 bookings quoting ExclusiveCWM. Take advantage of this opportunity and get in touch with Claudia! Terms and conditions apply.
