Winter Peach Photography

I'm Claire, the photographer behind Winter Peach Photography, based in Kingswinford and working across the West Midlands. My heart lies in documentary, cinematic wedding photography that celebrates the honest, unposed moments between you and your people. If you want photos that feel like memory rather than a checklist, my approach is for you. Why choose me? I shoot with an eye for atmosphere and storytelling — using natural light where possible and a quietly observant style that lets emotion breathe. I aim to be the wedding guest you can mostly ignore: present, attentive and ready to catch those spontaneous glances, laughter, and small gestures that make your day distinct. My images are cinematic in tone but rooted in realism — a balance that suits couples who want authentic, emotive wedding photos rather than stiff formality. How I work with couples is simple and collaborative. I start by listening: your ideas, priorities and the vibe you want to remember. I enjoy meeting over a coffee to get to know you both so the day feels familiar when I arrive. On the wedding day I move unobtrusively through the crowd, anticipating moments and blending into the background; where you’d like certain portraits or group shots, I’ll guide things gently to keep your day flowing while still delivering beautiful, considered images. My experience has seen me featured in regional publications and directories, and I’ve contributed behind-the-scenes photography for film projects — all of which feed into my cinematic documentary style. I’m LGBTQIA+ friendly and passionate about working with couples who value individuality, alternative sensibilities and a slightly bohemian spirit. I also understand camera-shy clients and those who love performing for the lens; either way, I’ll help you feel natural and at ease. While weddings are my core focus, I also occasionally shoot portraits, small events and pet sessions — always with the same calm, personable approach. If you’re planning a wedding in Kingswinford or the wider West Midlands and want professional wedding photos that tell your story with warmth and honesty, I’d love to hear about your plans.
