Claire Gould

Hi, I'm Claire, the editor of English Wedding. I've been sharing real weddings, planning advice and styled editorials by amazing wedding suppliers for more than ten years. As a supplier myself, I launched English Wedding as a platform for UK wedding businesses to stay visible online, publishing their beautiful work in a meaningful way - because I see how deeply suppliers care about everything they do. English Wedding has evolved to support a slower, more sustainable kind of visibility for wedding suppliers. Being published here protects your brand voice while helping couples discover your business, building trust through consistent features over time. I've also worked as a calligrapher since 2005, specialising in weddings and handwritten poems, readings and gifts. You can find my calligraphy work at By Moon & Tide.

What Editorial Wedding Photography Is, And What It Isn’t – by Damien Vickers Photography

The word “editorial” appears everywhere in wedding photography right now. Couples often tell me they love the idea of an editorial feel, but they are not always entirely sure what that means in practice. Does it involve hours of posing? Does it turn the wedding into a fashion shoot? Does Read more

styled shoot

Elegant champagne-toned wedding inspiration from Wivenhoe House

As a calligrapher, I know how tough it can be for the ‘smaller’ wedding suppliers to be noticed sometimes. So when I saw the gorgeous wedding stationery suite from this shoot online, I reached out to the designer and asked if we could feature the whole thing as an editorial. Read more
