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.

Colleen & AJ’s vibrant and beautiful South Asian wedding, with Nicole Chan Photography

It’s been too long – way too long – since I’ve featured an Indian wedding on this blog. Honestly, this makes me sad, and ashamed that I haven’t tried harder. (Reaching out and asking for weddings can feel a little pushy, and I’m shy!) Because the love and ceremony and Read more

Embracing Every Love Story: Dismantling Gender Roles in Wedding Photography

A brilliant and thought-provoking article by Simon Dewey Photography I gave up on posing a little while ago. I stumbled across photographers like Tracy Jade & Naomi Goggin who were just letting couples exist in their own space. It was a lightbulb moment – I’ve also studied under Jesh de Read more

They can be controversial, but I still love styled shoots: here’s why.

It’s interesting how angry some wedding suppliers get about styled shoots – at least from the forum chats and Facebook groups I’ve seen. Anyone would think styled photoshoots were some kind of evil plot to dupe couples into booking dodgy suppliers. The reality is the opposite: all of the styled Read more
