Claire Basiuk is a Hyde-based wedding photographer specialising in candid, documentary-style images. She captures natural emotions and quiet moments to tell the true story of your day.
Claire Basiuk Photography specialises in wedding photography from Hyde, serving couples across Cheshire and the North West. Claire’s approach is rooted in candid, documentary-style storytelling—she looks for the unscripted moments, the genuine smiles and quiet exchanges that reveal the real feeling of your day. Her goal is to create natural, emotive images that stand the test of time rather than posed snapshots. Choosing Claire means hiring a wedding photographer who prioritises presence over pose. She works unobtrusively, blending into the background so you and your guests can relax and enjoy the day. That relaxed atmosphere helps Claire capture authentic interactions: the nervous laughter before the vows, the stolen glances during portraits, the spontaneous celebrations on the dance floor. These are the moments she loves to record, building a visual narrative that reads like the story of your wedding. Claire’s process is personal and collaborative. From your first conversation she focuses on understanding what matters most to you—whether that’s capturing family connections, the ceremony’s emotion, or the candid energy of the reception. On the day she balances gentle direction with a documentary eye, stepping in when needed for group shots or portraits, then stepping back to photograph the flow of the day. Her style favours natural light, honest colour and composition that highlights emotion and detail. As a Hyde-based wedding photographer, Claire knows local venues around Cheshire and the wider North West and enjoys helping couples feel prepared and confident. She brings calm organisation, a kind professional presence and a passion for honest storytelling to every wedding. The result is a curated collection of images that reflect your personality and the true atmosphere of your celebration. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who captures real moments with warmth and visual storytelling, Claire Basiuk Photography offers specialist expertise in candid, documentary wedding photography from Hyde and across Cheshire and the North West.
