Based in Kettering, Claire Keathley is a specialist wedding photographer who creates natural, warm, film-like wedding and engagement photos. Friendly, fast, and deeply personal service.
I live and breathe wedding photography — it’s my calling, my joy, and the work I pour my whole heart into. Based in Kettering, I specialise in wedding photography, capturing authentic moments with a natural, warm, film‑like aesthetic that feels timeless and true to you. My approach centers on real connection: I want to be more than a vendor on your day. I want to be your friend, your hype girl, and the calm presence who gets you back to celebrating with the people you love. Why choose me? I combine a Fine Art background with years of wedding experience to tell your story in a way that feels both beautiful and honest. You’ll notice my eye for quiet details, soft tones, and natural light — the images I create focus on emotion and atmosphere rather than stiff posing. I use trusted gear (my Nikon Z6II and favorite 85mm) to craft images that feel filmic and intimate, whether we’re photographing your vows, candid reactions, or those quiet in‑between moments. How I work: relationships matter. From our first messages to gallery delivery, I’m an attentive and quick communicator — and my turnaround time might give you whiplash. Expect sneak previews within days and thoughtfully edited galleries delivered promptly. On the wedding day I move with purpose and kindness: I’ll get the shots you want efficiently, without overstaying posed moments, so you can get back to your party. I’m respectful of your guests’ space and focused on capturing feeling over perfection. I tailor each wedding experience to fit the couple — many of my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session to help you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. While weddings are my primary focus, I also offer engagement and couple sessions as a lovely complement to your wedding photography timeline. If you’re planning a wedding in Kettering or nearby and you want professional wedding photos that feel warm, personal, and artful, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your vision, cheer you on, and work tirelessly to create images that tell your love story the way it deserves to be told.
