# Clare Kinchin Photography

Clare Kinchin Photography is a Devon-based wedding photographer specialising in natural, documentary-style wedding photography for couples who prefer authentic moments over traditional posing. With nearly 20 years of experience, Clare captures weddings across Devon and Cornwall, telling each couple's unique story through relaxed, organic imagery that blends documentary and creative photography.

The business serves engaged couples planning weddings of all sizes, from intimate elopements with just two people to large celebrations with numerous guests. Clare particularly appeals to couples who are uncomfortable with formal photography, offering an alternative approach that prioritises genuine emotion and spontaneous moments over staged shots. Her non-traditional style means she won't interrupt natural moments but provides gentle direction for portraits and group photographs, keeping sessions relaxed through walking, chatting and laughter.

What sets Clare apart is her investment in couples as friends rather than clients, combined with her refusal to employ awkward posing or forced smiling. She captures the sensory details that transport couples back to their wedding day—how sunlight fell during the ceremony, the colours of the sky, guests' genuine reactions. Rather than lengthy photo sessions that pull couples away from celebrations, Clare documents the full narrative arc from pre-ceremony nerves through to late-night celebrations.

Based in Plymouth, she travels throughout the South West and beyond for destination weddings, making her accessible to couples across the UK seeking an alternative to traditional wedding photography.
