A post of full-frame photos only from the Vann's Philly wedding because they're far too pretty to be cropped. 🖤

A room full of people who love you, a packed dance floor, and joy radiating from every corner.

The Drennen's reception was the perfect reminder that the most memorable weddings are the ones that feel deeply personal and completely alive ✨

p.s. the bride hand made these calla lillies with lights in the middle and I'm actually obsessed!

The most exciting birthday post, Claire Marie Photography is featured in Vogue!!

About a month ago, I woke up to a surprising email from British Vogue inviting me to be featured in their bridal advertising campaign. Before I was fully awake, I was convinced it had to be a scam.

I read the email again and again until the imposter syndrome finally quieted down and I could simply feel proud of myself and the work I've spent years building. To be recognized by such an iconic publication felt surreal, humbling, and incredibly exciting all at once.

Part I | June Edition

What makes this first feature especially meaningful is that the wedding I've chosen to share took place back in 2024.

Neeka + Christian's celebration at The Switch House by was one of those weddings that quietly changed the trajectory of my career. It was overflowing with joy, centered around meaningful traditions, and grounded in genuine connection. The intention and intimacy woven throughout their day became a reminder of the kinds of weddings I wanted to build my business around, and many of the pillars that define my work today can be traced back to this celebration.

Their beautiful cultural ceremony, their decision to forgo a wedding party, the genuine joy they brought to every moment and the stunning photos that came from this day made this wedding an easy choice for this feature.

I'm so excited to share that their images are featured in the June edition of British Vogue.
The first of three features to come, and I'm still pinching myself. 🤍

Thank you to British Vogue for the opportunity

Some venues do more than provide a backdrop. They help create the entire experience.

That's what I love about

The historic architecture, intimate scale, and romantic gardens naturally lend themselves to a wedding that feels personal, intentional, and connected. The kind of wedding where guests linger over dinner, conversations flow easily, and every detail feels thoughtfully chosen.

A venue can't create personality for you.
But the right venue can give your personality room to shine.

The best wedding photos aren't just a reflection of who's in them.

They're a reflection of how those people showed up for you.

One thing I loved about this Tyler Arboretum wedding was how intentionally the day was designed by . Every detail, timeline decision, and guest experience created space for what mattered most: connection.

The result? A day full of laughter, support, celebration, and the kinds of memories you'll want to revisit for years to come.

If you're planning an intimate wedding at a venue you fell in love with for its character, this is your reminder to leave room in the timeline for moments like these.

Not because they're posed.
Not because they're planned.

Because years from now, you'll want to remember how it felt sitting with your best friends, getting ready in a room filled with natural light, and knowing you were just moments away from marrying your person.

That's where the magic lives.

Midday sun isn't always the obvious choice, but sessions like this are exactly why I love it. The contrast, the shadows, the way the light filters through the trees and bounces off the city streets. A little greenery, a little architecture, and two people completely wrapped up in each other. Philly showed off for this one.

Taking a moment to appreciate Dominique’s dress change as the wedding shifted from day to night ✨

The satin, the candlelight, the cake, the dancing. It all felt like stepping into a completely different kind of magic by the end of the evening.

Some photos are meant to be perfectly still.
Others are meant to feel like a memory in motion.
The blur, the movement, the in-between moments. That’s where so much feeling lives.

Just some of the joy from Jess + Billy’s intimate wedding day 🤍

Simple, intentional, and full of the kind of love that makes everyone feel at home. Can’t wait to share more from this beautiful celebration.
