73 REAL WEDDINGS CHERISHED PHOTOGRAPHY BY CLAUDIA Based in Nottinghamshire, this company wants to capture those moments you may have missed, the candid, little, wonderful moments in time that allow you to look back on your day, smile and relive it all over again. Led by Claudia Harrison-White, the supplier will always take the portraits and the group shoots that you may have a list of while avoiding the shots being too overly posed – always in the moment, raw and authentic – and done as quickly as they can be. She would much rather you were spending your wedding day with your guests than hours and hours posing for shots. Your day should be documented as naturally as possible and in a way that reflects your relationship and that of loved ones celebrating with you. Claudia prides herself on communicating with couples from the first contact to the day and often after galleries have been delivered. She will ask lots of questions while making lots of notes because she wants to know how you want your photos to ‘feel’ when you look back at them. She comments, “I love a natter to find out how the planning is going, along with if there are any surprises planned for the day, and I will always ask about your shoes! The company does not have a one-editing-style-fits-all approach, so it’s doubtful you’ll see the same tones used across many of the weddings photographed. Your day is individual, and Claudia wants to ensure your photos are too. All of that said, on a personal note, she does love warm, rich tones and a black-and-white photo or two.
