Derby Wedding Photographer
Congratulations! You’ve found the love of your life, and now it’s time to host a bl**dy good day with those friends & family you value the most… and you need a Derby wedding photographer (yes, I travel!).
Whether you’re planning a DIY barn wedding, an elegant English affair at a stately home, a relaxed casual garden party, a vibin’ city party or your dream holiday destination wedding, your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life and you deserve a photographer who can capture every smile, laugh, tear & tequila shot taken with ease. As your wedding photographer (who also travels worldwide!), I’m here to make sure you get stunning images without all the stress—so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your big day!
You'll love me if...
You want your wedding photos to feel relaxed, unposed, and genuinely you; less awkward grinning, more belly laughs and stolen kisses.
You're not after a lengthy photoshoot — you just want to feel like you're hanging out with a mate who happens to have a camera (and knows how to use it brilliantly).
You care about the real moments — the tear in your grandad’s eye, the cheeky grin from your best man, and that just-married oh-my-god-we-did-it ecstasy.
How Much Does a Derby Wedding Photographer Cost?
When it comes to wedding photography, I don’t believe in gate-keeping the cost!
I offer a simple, clear pricing structure that ensures you get the best possible service for your big day, the way you’ve planned it. My packages range from £550 - £3,500, with the most popular being the 10 hour package with 350+ high resolution, beautifully edited photographs at £1,500.
Hi you, I’m Claudia Rose…
Particular loves of mine: My boys, walks in the countryside, physical performance podcasts, Jammy Dodgers (I will eat an entire packet with NO regrets), Tarantino movies + I do have a bit of a soft spot for the tv that is Outer Banks….

Your wedding day is filled with so many moments—big and small—that you’ll want to remember forever. As an artistic Derby wedding photographer, I specialise in a mix of candid and editorial photography to tell the unique story of your day. I pride myself on being unobtrusive, capturing natural moments while offering just enough guidance to make sure you look your best.
With over 400 weddings photographed since 2011, I’ve had the pleasure of working at incredible venues like The Savoy, Soho Farmhouse, and Aynhoe Park, as well as at beautiful local Derbyshire spots like Hidden Hive at Swadlincote, The Hideaway, Peak District Holiday Barn, and Edale Gathering. Whether you’re getting married in a grand venue or a cozy, rustic barn, I’ll work with you to ensure your photos are everything you dreamed of.

Why Is Wedding Photography So Important?
Your wedding photos are more than just pictures—they’re the way you’ll remember the best day of your life for years to come. It’s so much more than just documenting what happened—it’s about capturing the emotions, the joy, the little moments that make your love story unique.
You need a photographer who understands this and who can make the process feel easy and relaxed. I focus on providing you with stunning images without stealing you away from your guests for long periods of time.
Trust me, you’ll want to spend as much time enjoying your celebration as possible!
How will my photographs be edited?
Every image you receive will be individually edited to bring out the best in each moment. I remove imperfections and distractions (hello, flyaway hairs and background clutter) while maintaining the natural beauty of your wedding day. I take care in making sure the photos are well-lit and perfectly balanced, capturing the mood and emotion of each moment.
When will I receive my wedding photography gallery?
After your wedding, you’ll be eager to see your photos—and I get that! That’s why I make sure to send a few preview images to you within a few days, so you can share the joy with your friends and family on social media. Your full set of photos will be delivered within 4 weeks. Every image is edited with care, making sure your memories are preserved with love and attention to detail.
What is your wedding photography approach?
As your Derby wedding photographer, I believe that the best photos come when you’re feeling relaxed and comfortable, which is why I strive to make your wedding photography experience stress-free. I’ll be there to offer support, advice, and encouragement—when you need it. But I’m also happy to step back, allowing you to enjoy the moment with your loved ones.
You can count on me to be an unobtrusive presence throughout the day, capturing your most authentic moments.
How can we book you?
If you’re ready to book your wedding photographer or just want to chat more about your plans, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s make sure your wedding day is captured beautifully, so you can look back on those memories for years to come.
I will send across my pricing and information guide, and then the next step is to hop on a Zoom/Facetime to virtually meet each other before you 100% commit!
