Oh my what can I say, Clare is just the absolute best!! We are so, so grateful that Clare was able to photograph our elopement! She put us at ease and created the most natural, beautiful setting for the entire event (and all our guests wanted her to stay and hang all day!).
My wife and I had planned to get married in February or March, but after the election we chose to up the timeline and elope prior to the administration change, on January 18, 2025. We received Clare's information from an incredible database on LGBTQ+ (and Ally) wedding vendors offering free or discounted services for elopements prior to Inauguration. While it was not our original plan, it was exactly how it was supposed to be, and a large part of that is Clare - we would never have had the pleasure of working with her otherwise!
Clare is warm, responsible, professional, and so talented! I cannot recommend her enough! If you have a chance to have Clare photograph your event - sign that contract now! :)
We love you Clare, thank you for being a part of our always!! Xx
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect photographer for our small city hall wedding! Clare made us feel completely at ease, capturing every special moment with care and artistry. We did very minimal wedding planning since it was so small and Clare was phenomenal at helping us figure out inspiration photos, locations to take photos, creating a timeline for pictures, and even helping with a last-minute rain plan. She seamlessly blended into the intimate setting, ensuring we felt comfortable while expertly capturing candid and beautifully composed shots. Clare truly saw our vision and helped it come to life. We appreciated having guidance and instructions on how to take photos while we were taking them (as two people whose only experience with professional photography was their senior photos 10 years ago and can be awkward in front of the camera.) Clare made the photos look so natural, you can't even tell she helped us pose!
Clare has a gift for storytelling through her lens. We are beyond grateful for the memories she preserved for us and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a genuinely wonderful photographer.
Clare made us feel comfortable and gorgeous on our special day. We enjoyed working with her and the finished product was wonderful. We would definitely hire Clare again!
Clare’s attention to detail and calm easy demeanor made this process a breeze. She came prepared for every meeting we had, had fantastic ideas and was overall just amazing! She has such ann eye - I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to be my photographer!!
Clare was AMAZING. I got sneak peeks the day off!! And while having an afternoon wedding may have helped with that she gave me more than I expected and they are STUNNING. I cannot wait to see what else she does for us. She is sooo easy to work with. She does not pressure anyone to do anything it is only what you are comfortable with and that is just perfection. She was ready for detail shots and was so easy to work with. I live in buffalo but my wedding was out toward lake George so we had zoom calls and many emails and the day was perfect. I am blessed to have had her referred to me because even with the white snow that makes for specific editing skills, she was right on the money. Please meet with her to have coffee and discuss because I knew as soon as we had our coffee date that she was going to be my photographer. This was an even better experience than I could have imagined.
