Wedding and event photographer

The quiet partsare the whole story

Honest, unhurried photographs of weddings, elopements and gatherings. Based in Asheville, travelling wherever you are going.

Hello, I'm Clara

I photograph the day as it happens: the shaky toast, the grandmother who dances anyway, the five quiet minutes before you walk out. Very little posing, a lot of paying attention.

How it works

From hello to your gallery

  1. 01

    Tell me about your day

    Send the inquiry form with your date and a little about you. I reply within two working days with availability and the collection guide.

  2. 02

    A call, then a plan

    We talk for half an hour about what matters most. Once you book, I help with the timeline so the light falls where it should.

  3. 03

    The day itself

    I arrive early, stay out of the way and keep an eye on the moments you will want later. You get to just be there.

  4. 04

    Your gallery

    A sneak peek within a week, then your full gallery in six to eight weeks, ready to share, download and print.
