Report
Hello my name is Claire Graham and I am female wedding photographer working across the UK and abroad with local offices in Wales as well as the East Midlands and West Midlands. I have more than two decades of experience of providing high quality media services to a variety of customers from wedding clients to corporate customers and the mainstream media through my company Red Dog Media. My love of photography started when I was given an old Kodak Brownie box camera as a child, since then I loved looking at the world through a lens. I've had training from some of the best in the business and I've worked as photojournalist for the local and national press, completed BBC camera training and worked as a video journalist for ITV and BBC. I run my own multi media company Red Dog Media and I have the privilege to spend a lot of my time working as a wedding photographer. I really do love covering weddings and I am always happy to chat to couples about their wedding media needs without obligation, so please feel free to call or e-mail me if I can be of assistance. About the photographic equipment I use: When I am covering weddings I use a full professional standard photographic kit including two digital high resolution 18-mega pixel cameras, lighting and flashes, tripods, a selection of lenses including 18 -55mm lens, 18-135mm lens, a telephoto lens and a wide angle lens plus a various creative filters and only pro standard memory cards, ensuing the highest quality of images and best camera performance. The use of two professional cameras and pro standard memory cards also reduces the risk of loss of images on your wedding day through digital or equipment failure as much as possible and also ensures the very best standard of images.

We wanted to thank you for doing our wedding photos. The disks that you have given us are fantastic and both of us are extremely pleased with them. You did go above and beyond to make sure we had loads to choose from and get some extra special shots too. We have passed the disks on to friends and family and they have all said what a wonderful selection of photos we have. Thank you very much for capturing our very special day on film, and in years to come we will be still looking at them and remembering our wedding day.

Claire we think you did a brilliant job with our photographs. Our guests were amazed at the lengths you went to, to achieve different shots from all angles. The autumn colours were a bonus and we received some wonderful pictures from the woodland scenes. We would like to thank you for your support in arranging the photographs that we required and your helpfulness after our wedding.
We cannot believe the magnificent service you have given us in achieving one very special photograph, which must have taken you ages to sort out. It just goes to prove what lengths you will go to for your clients and the varied skills you possess. You really have been a star and we cannot thank you enough. We are so very, very pleased with the result of the photograph of Jason's mum and dad. You will not begin to believe just how happy we are with that photograph and we cannot express our feelings strongly enough.

The photographs were stunning and far exceeded our expectations. Everyone who has seen the images has said they look fantastic and I was especially pleased with how Claire seemed to manage to capture everyone in their best most flattering light everyone looked their best. She even took the trouble to correct every image I was smiling in after I said I was a bit self conscious about a tooth that had been knocked out in a work accident every smile was made perfect!
I can honestly say that the photography was part of what made our wedding special, no one felt pressurized into being photographed or having to pose and Claire went out of her way to be helpful with all the guests and make sure everyone felt relaxed, providing a first class service without being intrusive. We have stunning and beautiful images that we will treasure forever, thank you so much!
