Rebecca Claridge Photography

I seek connection — the relationships, the laughs, the fun, the love, the real you. As a Christchurch-based wedding photographer I place that belief at the centre of every wedding I photograph. My work is about more than pretty images: it’s about documenting honest moments and the small, fleeting details that make your day uniquely yours. Why choose me for your wedding? I bring a calm, friendly presence to your wedding day so you can relax and be yourselves. Many of my clients return year after year, trusting me to capture not only single days but the story of their growing families. On the wedding day I blend unobtrusive documentary coverage with gentle direction for portraits — creating a mix of candid, emotion-filled frames and composed couple and family photos that stand the test of time. My approach is warm, personal and connection-led. Before your wedding we’ll have a relaxed conversation so I understand what matters most: the people, the family moments, the parts of the day you really want preserved. On the day I focus on being present yet unobtrusive — catching real laughter, tiny glances and those honest interactions that don’t feel posed. For couples portraits I offer easygoing guidance so photos feel natural, not staged. Based in Christchurch (GB) but available everywhere, I love photographing weddings across venues big and small. I aim to deliver images you’ll want to live with — prints on your walls, framed memories, and a gallery of professional wedding photos that transport you back to the feeling of the day. While weddings are my core focus, I also continue to photograph families and couples, which complements my wedding work by giving me a long view of the relationships I capture. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who values genuine connection, calm direction and timeless storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans. Together we’ll create beautiful, authentic wedding photos that reflect the personality of your day and the people you love.
