Meet the local photographers behind the cameras CAPTURE THE MEMORIES CR PHOTOGRAPHY BEXHILL www.crphotographybexhill.com @crphotographybexhill | @crphotographybex Claire Askew is the talent behind CR Photography Bexhill. A wedding photographer with more than a decade’s worth of experience in capturing what she describes as, “Love stories in all their beautiful, messy and fun glory!” Based in Bexhill, Claire is happy to travel where love takes her. Her style is all about realness – “I believe the best photos are the ones where you’re completely yourselves, laughing, crying, and everything in between,” she says. “I live for the natural moments when you’re caught up in the joy of the day, not thinking about posing for the camera.” Indeed, Claire is all about creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere so you and your loved ones can enjoy the day allowing her to capture the real magic. “The result? Authentic, heartfelt images that are so you, they’ll instantly take you back to those moments every time you see them,” she says. CLAIRE’S TOP TIP “Be yourselves and trust in the beauty of the moment. The best photos are the ones where you’re being authentically you, whether that’s laughing your head off during the speeches, sneaking a cheeky kiss when you think no one’s looking, or even tearing up during the vows. Before the day, we’ll chat about your vision and any must-have shots, but on the day, my job is to blend into the background and capture your story as it unfolds naturally. Don’t worry about perfection; focus on soaking up every moment. Also, don’t worry about the weather. Photography is beautiful come rain or shine just like you guys.” www.crphotographybexhill.com TONY GRAHAM PHOTOGRAPHY www.tonygrahamphotography.co.uk @tonygrahamphotography | @tgraham44 With more than three decades of visual content experience, Tony’s work spans various genres, including weddings, brands, sport, portrait and event photography.
