Claire Penn

With a former day job in marketing, Claire Penn came to full-time photography later in the game, but that has only made her more appreciative of her busy schedule. After selling her wedding dress to buy her first DSLR, she started slowly with children’s portraiture in 2010, and has steadily built up her weddings—with 40 booked in 2014. Shooting digitally with a Canon 5D Mark III and various prime lenses, Penn says: “I am so thankful to be doing something I love and working with wonderful like-minded couples who want a fun, relaxed approach to their day. For me, it’s the best job in the world.”
