Hey, I'm Katie (She/Her), a Hampshire-based wedding photographer who loves capturing real moments, big laughs, and all the joy of your wedding day. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm usually outdoors, climbing mountains, belting out show tunes in the car, or crying at weddings.
I've been obsessed with love stories for as long as I can remember. Now I get to live my dream, photographing couples like you. My approach is relaxed, unobtrusive and documentary in style. Meaning you can enjoy your wedding fully while I capture the laughs, tears and little moments that make it uniquely yours.
Your love story deserves to be captured authentically, all of the giggles, the quirks, the happy tears. I'll be there blending in, guiding gently when needed and joining in the fun. By the end of the day, you'll have photos that not only show how your wedding looked. but how it felt to be there.
A little about me
A little about you
You're a couple who might feel a bit camera-shy, but you still want your wedding photos to capture the real, honest moments. You value being present and soaking in every laugh, tear, and dance move, rather than spending hours posing (but you'd still love a few great photos of you both). Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, you want your story captured with JOY!
You want a photographer who feels like a friend, who blends into the background, without making you feel like you're constantly in the spotlight. You understand that the best photos often come from genuine interactions and emotions.
Why Clearly Wild?
Its a question I get asked often. "Where does Clearly Wild come from?" So if you love a story, I'd like to share mine with you.
My journey into wedding photography started with a loss. When my idol, my grandad Cleary passed. I quickly realised he had an uncanny ability to dodge a camera lens, always reluctant to be captured in his 'messy' work clothes. I had my memories, but precious few photographs to revisit. The absence sparked a determination in me: I didn't want anyone else to experience that feeling.
And so 'Clearly Wild' was born. A tribute to my hardworking grandad and a mission to capture as many precious memories for others as I could. Capturing the people who mean the most to you on one of the biggest day's of your life. I strive to honour the real, the spontaneous and beautifully imperfect moments that often go unnoticed. In the hope that years down the line, they will transport you right back to that moment, not just in how it looked, but how it felt.
With a relaxed documentary approach, I immerse myself in your wedding day, making sure everyone feels safe, respected and seen. Focusing on genuine emotion and connections to tell your story.
