My name is CJ (only my mum calls me Claire!) & I'm an awesome photographer, a people person and a definite "crowd tamer"! My quirky and creative approach means I get the best out of everyone on your wedding day which really helps for those big group shots where everyone is smiling (even if it's raining and their heels are sinking into the grass!)
Trust me to photograph your U.K. or destination wedding with style, humour, love, BAGS of enthusiasm, integrity and unstoppable energy. I deliver the perfect mix of traditional and non traditional wedding photography. I'm always smiling and LOVE hearing all about wedding plans, colours, themes & inspirations.

I love my home in Kent. It's a 1930's terraced house that was a wreck when I bought it. I spent many a week stripping wallpaper and choosing paint colours and learning DIY. Now my home and studio reflect my quirky personality to a tee - or so I'm told! I do all my wedding consultations in my home - so let's hope I get to show you around and introduce you to Wolfie soon!
I'm CJ! Nice to meet you. I hope you love what you see here. Here's a selection of some of my most favourit-est Wedding Photography images from the last few years. I'm of course gay friendly (though can't believe I even have to SAY that). Hope to hear from you to chat soon! I can't rate CJ highly enough!
Feel free to get in touch to discuss any photography needs. I love to share my passion for relaxed, fun, natural lifestyle photography with everyone and anyone! A professional and private boudoir photography session (basically some classy photos of you in your pants!). I will make you feel super relaxed and comfortable and you will love how beautiful you look.
Well it's fab you want to get in touch! I must warn you that I do like to natter quite a bit though.! But hey; at least you know there will be NO awkward silences. I will respond to all queries and answer ANY questions - no matter how daft! So feel free to get in touch to natter - there is no obligation to book (though of course I hope you do!)
So you made it to the prices page?! Argh! This bit is a little scary eh.? It's probably best if I'm up front right now and say that I'm not a budget photographer and I only take a limited number of bookings per year. I cover the whole of the UK and Destination weddings which will require my travel and accommodation costs.

We cannot give CJ enough positive comments as words simply cannot express just how lovely CJ is as a person and what an amazing photographer she is. We had the pleasure of meeting CJ at a wedding fair and we felt a connection there and then. On our wedding blessing day CJ made everyone relaxed which showed in the stunning photos. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Jill and Andrew

Had such a great experience on our shoot. CJ is so easy to be around and puts you at ease straight away, especially as we were complete photo shoot novices! Clear direction so we got the best shots yet still relaxed and fun. Highly recommend and cannot wait for CJ to shoot our wedding!
Addition: we have since got married and are still just as happy with the service CJ provided. She was great around all our guests and we got all the shots we wanted which look absolutely FABULOUS! All the pictures are now available to us and all our guests digitally in a very simple to use website and CJ has created

We cannot recommend CJ @ Swinky Photography enough! Came across her at a wedding fair and loved her quirky style and mix of traditional and modern wedding pics and loved her style immediately!
We went on to have an engagement shoot in the snow, then had our wedding pics and most recently we had a family photo shoot with our new baby!
I always love the pics CJ captures and it helps how at ease she makes you feel while doing the shoot, as I’m not someone that feels too comfortable in that environment. She’s so friendly and the shoots feel fun and natural and not too staged at all. I am so thankful

We booked CJ for our wedding last September and when we had to postpone to December she was really helpful and accommodating. We weren't sure if we'd be able to go ahead in December and it was all quite last minute confirming, CJ was amazing and made it really easy and stress free for us.
On the day she arrived early and introduced herself to the wedding party. During the ceremony she captured some amazing moments. Her organisational skills throughout the day were very professional, ensuring that photos were taken of everyone including both traditional shots and quirky ones, we had lots of fun

Cj is amazing really professional and such a laid back approach to photos. Having looked around countless wedding fairs for a photographer i felt comfortable with, i finally found CJ a quirky lady who is great to talk to and made us feel relaxed it’s like meeting up with a friend you have known years. we had our pre wedding shoot with my two kids in tow and Cj got some really great shots and was so patient with my crazy two boys unfortunately our wedding got delayed due to covid but i can’t wait to see the amazing photos i know CJ will capture
