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.

wedding blog

You don’t need to list your wedding business in directories – even this one – to get bookings. Here’s why.

In 2026, you don’t need to list your wedding business in directories to get bookings.

If you’re curious about a directory-adjacent approach to Read more

Christina & Chris’s immersive (literally!) Lake District wedding, with Mark Battista Photography

My dream wedding would be: a venue high in the mountains with epic views of lakes and fells, locally made craft beers, and a pac-man arcade game, then doughnuts. A fun vicar would be an added bonus. The good news? It’s already been done – and gorgeous couple Christina & Read more

After 10 years of Weddings, Here’s What I’ve Learned About Creating Timeless Photographs – by Damien Vickers

Written for English Wedding by luxury editorial wedding photographer Damien Vickers (based in Cambridge). Damien Vickers Photography is a member of English Wedding.

What timeless really means – Kieran & Will’s Malton wedding, with York Place Studios

3 months since I read it, an instagram post from a content creator is still at the back of my mind. She said “there’s no such thing as timeless“. I disagree totally – timelessness isn’t about styling: it’s real, it’s about emotion and being human, and we see it in Read more
