Clare Kinchin Photography

Clare Kinchin is a wedding photographer working across the South West, with Devon and Cornwall at the heart of her work. Her style is natural and relaxed, blending documentary moments with creative portraits, and she photographs everything from large weddings to elopements for two.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

Clare is a good fit if you do not enjoy being in front of a camera. She avoids interrupting natural moments and gives gentle direction only when it helps, so you never feel like you are performing. She also spends time getting to know couples before the wedding, which means you meet her on the day as someone you already trust. The result is a set of pictures that shows how the day felt to the two of you.

What she offers

• Full wedding day coverage, from preparations to the evening
• Small weddings and couple-only elopements
• Engagement shoots in Devon
• Couple sessions
• UK-wide and destination weddings

How she works

Clare likes to meet couples ahead of the wedding, and an engagement shoot is a good way to get used to being photographed together. On the day she keeps you away from your guests for as short a time as possible and works through group photos quickly, so you can get back to the celebration. She covers the whole story, from the nerves of the morning to the dancing at night.

Where she covers

Clare works mainly in Devon and Cornwall, including Plymouth, Tavistock, Exeter and Dartmoor. She is a recommended supplier at many venues in both counties and has photographed weddings at places such as Gara Rock, Rockbeare Manor and Wonwood Barton. She also travels for weddings elsewhere in the UK and abroad.
