About

I’m Clare!
I’m a wedding photographer – in case you haven’t guessed that already!
I live in Hockley, Essex with my husband and our 3 babies… Dotty the dog, and Chunky & Wookie the cats.

These are the words that Hitched decided I needed AI to make sound more elaborate:
Based in Rayleigh, Essex, [I used to live in Rayleigh, it's only the next town over] Clare Kentish Photography specialises in creative wedding imagery. Photographer Clare simply adores weddings - from the dress to the flowers, confetti, and kids and adults alike indulging in a joyful time. [LOL] Clare began her photography career in 2005 [Yes I really am THAT old] and has worked her way up to be a sought-after talent in Essex and beyond [well thank you - not sure where that's come from lol!]. With hundreds of weddings under her belt, you can trust Clare to have the experience and expertise to capture timeless photos and find solutions if anything goes astray. Clare Kentish Photography delights in seeing couples, friends, and families having fun and loves nothing more than preserving those cherishable moments. [actually, I like photographing weddings for the food and because it's fun, but I don't think AI likes that]

Services Offered

Clare Kentish Photography crafts gorgeous wedding albums that can be accessed online or on a USB [or like, actual albums, physical things you can hold and show off]. Couples can choose between the Jammie Dodger and Fancy French [French Fancy - like the cake] packages, with plenty of extras available to create an entirely bespoke experience. Clare will gladly venture, near or far, to your venue to provide hours of unobtrusive coverage, so your candid emotions can shine in your photos.

Right so, if you've read that, well done. Get in touch and I'll buy us a pint. [Wetherspoons - I'm not made of money]
I'm a photographer, quite good at it actually, I'm human - not AI and I'm down-to-earth, friendly [according to customer reviews, not my husband]. If you want me to check my diary just drop me a message :)

Above and beyond

Clare was our amazing photographer at our wedding in July 24! Clare was approachable, friendly, funny and professional ensuring we got all the specific photos we wanted from our day. Clares character put all of our guests at ease and made the group photos pain free!! From our sneak peek photos we are so happy and can't wait to see our full gallery soon. Clare went above and beyond and ensured we got sunset photos which we can't wait to see! A number of our guests have commented on how impressed they were with Clare. Highly recommend Clare for wedding photography!!

The best photographer we could have asked for

Clare is amazing! I cannot recommend her highly enough, she was so professional whilst being one of the most friendly people I’ve ever met. She felt like one of the guests we’d invited to the wedding we got on that well. The photos are just stunning, she knew exactly what to do and mae us feel so relaxed and happy in them all. Thank you!

Great wedding photographer!

We booked Clare to photograph our wedding at the Henry Moore Studios & Gardens in Perry Green. Clare was very responsive to emails and listened to our ideas and had some great suggestions. On the day, Clare made us feel relaxed and we love all the photos that she took. It's great that we have all the photos on a USB as well as on her website to share with our friends and family. Would not hesitate to recommend her!

My wedding photographer and christening

Clare is just brilliant, amazing actually, she’s on the ball, and her photos are beautiful.
She’s a lovely person and it shows in her work. She’s bossy when she needs to be to get those pictures you want for memories to keep. I’d always recommend her every time! And she can work well with all suppliers.
