Today it is my great pleasure to introduce you to Claudine of Moments Captured Photography.
The most recent addition to the collection of handpicked sponsors we endorse here at Love My Dress, Claudine is based in Brighton, but travels all over the place to photograph beautiful weddings.
'Most of my weddings are in London or the south of the UK, but I have some in Scotland, Cornwall and two in New York this year so there's no limits to where I will travel.'

Claudine has been shooting for over 10 years now and describes her
signature style as 'relaxed, classic and truly photojournalistic',
although she also says her work is 'ever-evolving'.

'I used to shoot fashion and travel on medium format film and London theatre dress rehearsals on black and white 35mm film which I would process overnight then hand to the actors the next day! One of the actors asked me to shoot their wedding and that was it! 10 films per wedding, all hand processed. Now my life is digital but occasionally I am asked to shoot totally on film which is a delight.'
'I relish being present when two people declare their love for each other and promise to be together forever. It is amazing every single time. I must be addicted! It's like a lifelong project. I promise you, every couple says it differently, even though the words may be the same.'
'I'm always looking for a new angle… the light is never the same… the people. It always inspires me when people think outside the box… It's brave and shows courage, and when humans display courage it's worth shooting. How privileged am I to capture that!?'
Prices start at £1800 which includes two photographers (Claudine alongside her lovely second shooter, Tash) and all of your images on USB. There are other packages that are perfect for midweek weddings and those taking place out-of-season, so it's worth getting in touch to find out more. Claudine's premium package is for people who love film- the whole wedding shot on 35mm film and processed by Claudine herself.
'All my packages include a portrait /engagement shoot before your day, and an album. I have so many beautiful album companies I work with so it's always good to meet up and rummage through my album bag to see what you like!'
Do head over to the Moments Captured website to see more examples of Claudine's photography. You can also keep up-to-date with her work via the blog, twitter and facebook.
Much love,
Franky
