At Claire Hope Photo, I don’t just show up with a camera—I arrive ready to see the real, sacred, joy-soaked story that’s unfolding in front of me. After years of documenting weddings that feel deeply personal, I’ve crafted packages that give both structure and space: enough time for creativity, room to breathe, and the flexibility to reflect you. Because at the end of the day, YOU and your love story matter the most, NOT my porfolio.
With a documentary-style approach, I focus on capturing what’s real: the unplanned laughter, the hand squeezes, the tears, the in-between glances you’ll never want to forget.

Day after couples session
Your wedding photographer will be one of the main people you spend your entire day with besides your partner - sunrise to sunset. It's best to feel a connection with whoever you choose beyond their photographing ability.
The best thing to do is reach out and inquire through my contact page. Once I have received your inquiry, I will reach out to you through email within two business days to send my Wedding Pricing Guide and answer any questions. A phone call will be scheduled to discuss all those details!
After booking, I will reach out multiple times with information that is helpful for you in the wedding planning stages. We will have multiple scheduled touch-points where we will discuss questionnaires that you have filled out, timeline assistance, and more.
Especially for a wedding, there are a million details that are easy to pass over – we will make all details are touched upon. I am here to ensure that you feel confident in yourself, your vendors, and confident in me and my abilities on your wedding day!
I LOVE editing your gallery just as much as I love capturing your day! Since I am so pumped after shooting your wedding, I edit a sneak peek gallery of around 75-125 images after 2-3 biz days (quantity depending on coverage time and key moments captured). And of course, these images are yours to use right away, post on socials and share to friends.
The final art gallery is delivered within 6-8 weeks to your email (or sooner depending on the season). Your gallery can have anywhere from 700-1500 images depending on hours coverage.

Yes I travel! Majority of my weddings take place in the Midwest or surrounding areas. Travel including hotel and driving travel fees for Midwest weddings are all INCLUDED in my local wedding packages.
But, I do love when clients take me to new places to explore outside of the Midwest! The best way to learn more about airfare and other travel fees for weddings + elopements, would be to fill out my inquiry form. I only take a few travel weddings per year.
Sessions outside the US are not offered.
Do you travel? ARE THERE EXTRA COSTS?

"Claire captures moments that you wouldn't think to capture. Reactions, small expressions, gestures; in a room full of strangers as if she had a sense for the emotions and moments that matter. Her photography style is non-invasive. Many of my guests commented that they barely noticed her, as she makes an attempt to blend in and be an addition to the day. Her personality is fun, bubbly and non-intimidating, making it so easy to act natural and have fun!
The professionalism, consistency and trustworthy nature of Claire and her business stood out to me, as well as her willingness to engage and talk about any wedding details, even outside of photos. We would pick her over and over again for the fun, flexibility, talent & delivery of photos that just feel like us!

"Anyone in Indiana and across the US...
Claire is the real deal! My wife and I absolutely loved Claire! We came across her website in the wedding planning process and saw some familiar faces on her page and only heard amazing things. The communication and the attention to details in the process and the day of was remarkable! She worked so well with all of the vendors we hired (A true team player).
The care she puts into each and every client is so noticeable!! ...Even in her captions on Instagram. On top of all of that, the photos turned out perfect. Our summer wedding was captured so perfectly thanks to the BEST wedding photographer out there!"
"WE SERIOUSLY COULD NOT RECOMMEND CLAIRE ENOUGH. She was our FIRST wedding decision and our BEST wedding decision! From the very first meeting to our last photo at the wedding, she made us feel confident, comfortable, and celebrated. She is thorough in the planning process, incredibly helpful offering knowledge of other vendors, and alleviated so much stress that is rolled into this process. We knew that if Claire was the there - the day would be a breeze.
We genuinely consider Claire a friend after our year together. PLUS, we love every. single. photo! We live states away and I would fly to Claire at the drop of a hat to have her capture moments that are near and dear to us. We love love love Claire Hope Photo!'

"I truly do not have enough kind words for Claire and her talents! Jacob and I volunteered to model for her back in March '23 and we hit it off so well & loved her work so much that Jacob booked her to capture my surprise proposal a month later; She worked alongside him in the most special way and our photos reflect that so well.
Claire has now captured us while dating, engaged and we have since had her photograph our wedding in Sept. '24 because we couldn't imagine our day without her! Claire is much like her photography style: personable, warm, genuine and nostalgic in all of the magical ways. We are so grateful for all that she has captured for us thus far and we look forward to much more to come, in front of her camera! "
