Claire Marika Photography

Claire and Andy were absolutely amazing. From our engagements to the wedding photos and videos they truly captured everything I could have asked for. Not only are they both so professional and talented they also understand the wedding industry so well that I feel like I could trust them with every photo and moment. I highly recommend the both of them for your special day!

Claire blew our expectations out of the water!! Her photos were absolutely breathtaking and she was so kind and professional to work with. The photo albums she designed for us were stunning. Her husband, Andy, also made us truly beautiful bridal and wedding videos. Out of all our vendors, Claire and Andy were definitely the best. We could not have asked for better photographers! We will definitely be using Claire for any future photo needs

I have worked with Claire many times and she always goes above and beyond. Her work is so beautiful. I totally recommend her!

I absolutely loved working with Claire. She's so sweet and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She's extremely professional, and we ended up not having to worry about her at all on our wedding day which was so nice. And of course, the pictures came out absolutely gorgeous! I don't know she did it, but she somehow made us look like superstars.

I wanted to take a moment and truly thank Claire and Andy for their phenomenal work! I did my extensive research for the perfect photographer/videographer and the moment we met at a bridal expo we knew booking their services would be the best decision we would make while planning our wedding. Claire has the light, beauty, and candid moments we wanted to capture in our special day.

When meeting them it felt like we’d met up with old friends, they have a great sense of humor and through the long and fast-moving wedding day directed us and our very large families perfectly while blending into the background to capture those raw moments beautifully. We were worried about posing for photos but they made us feel very relaxed and enabling natural moments to be photographed. Claire’s passion and enthusiasm to capture every moment shone all throughout our formals/wedding day, and she absolutely blew us away with her talent.

We cannot thank them enough for their work, we absolutely LOVE our formals/wedding day pictures and video. It has been a joy having the opportunity to relive our wedding day through photos/videos with our family and friends feeling laughter and tears. Claire captures all the little moments that on the day I didn’t have an opportunity to cherish, shoes, cufflinks, seating cards, etc. Their work is now proudly displayed throughout our home.

Once again, we cannot thank/recommend them both enough for doing an incredible job capturing our fondest memories on our day and for being so incredible to work with. Since our wedding day it has been great to see family and friends already utilize “Claire Marika Photography” for their needs and have the opportunity to catch up with a very sweet team. We look forward to working with them both in the future.


With love & gratitude,

I've seen Claire Marika and Andy in "action" at my friends wedding and at ours, also engagement and bridal photo sessions. Their professionalism, patience and flexibility, above and beyond people skills and many other great traits make them the best at their profession.
Our pictures and videos turned out so beautiful, every time we look at them I (and my family) tear up. If you are looking for a photographer and videographer, look no more - Claire and Andy are your find that you do not want to miss!
Today 6 months since our wedding, and honestly, there are not many things that we have left from our wedding (no cake, no flowers, no dresses...) but we have our pictures and videos that we look at almost on a daily basis! what a waste when brides stress out about all of these little details and hire a photographer who can't properly capture it. Claire and Andy are the best at what they do! They know, anticipate and feel exactly what all brides want - they will make sure that everything goes smoothly and perfectly on The Day Of! They have mine and my husband's the highest admiration! i can't recommend them highly enough. They are truly THE BEST! And by the way, we've got our photos so fast (we were still on our honeymoon!)

Claire and Andy did a wonderful job with our wedding photos and video. They are great to work with and very talented! I loved working with them and I am very, very happy with the photos and video!

Claire Marika is an incredible photographer. I have had the pleasure to work with her many times. She is an artist behind her lens. I love her attention to detail, especially since everything should be captured on camera to be remembered. Face it, you might never see it all at a glance (it's a busy day!). With Claire as your photographer, you are covered. You will enjoy everything that you planned because she is there to journal your day with her beautiful artistry. Not only is she's amazing at what she does but Claire is incredibly kind. Book her!

From the moment we met Claire, we knew we'd found the right photographer! We were immediately drawn to her style and loved that it felt like us. Her photos aren't over-edited and feature tons of natural light. This is what we wanted and we were so pleased with the end result. We loved working with her for our engagements, pre-wedding and wedding day photography and we have the most beautiful photos to show for it! Claire made the process easy and fun, and she is extremely responsive which is an amazing thing to have when you're in the middle of planning a wedding! She took all of our suggestions, brought her own, and in the end, captured us perfectly. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!

It was a wonderful experience working with Claire on our wedding photos. I say “working” because Claire was extremely professional throughout the entire process. She was very responsive to my questions and provided ample communication around what to expect each step of the way.
We had a lot of requests and a big wedding party, but she was able to work with to get all of the group photos we wanted. She was also creative in suggesting some other group shots based on the lighting and setting that we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. We loved the way the shots turned out and her eye for the candid moments that happened behind the scenes. We highly recommend Claire and can’t thank her enough for capturing our special day so perfectly.

I am a DJ who sees a LOT of photographers in action. Last night at Red Butte Gardens I was very impressed with how quick she was to be in the right place at the right time to capture the heart of what was happening. I asked her about her philosophy, and she said "It's my job to capture the moment." It surely seemed she was doing just that. She was so fast and comfortable with her equipment. AND, she was so NICE to be around. There are a lot of photographers that you wonder whether they really wanted to be there. Claire was so warm and friendly. She is excellent!

Claire is an incredibly talented photographer. We discussed capturing my wedding story via photos and she did so in the most beautiful manner. While formal images are standard protocol, Claire successfully captured the fun of our wedding through stunning candid images. The photos captured our guests' personalities and memorialized precious moments. If you want your wedding story beautifully memorialized, Claire is the photographer for you.

I cannot recommend Claire and her husband Andy highly enough! I am a photographer, so picking a photographer for my wedding was the hardest part of wedding planning for me - until I found Claire Marika Photography. Everything was effortless, professionally done, BEAUTIFUL, and we felt like we made new best friends when we met with Claire and Andy. I love the classic, timeless style Claire accomplishes. You know you can fully trust her and her business. From before even signing the contracts, to well after the wedding, everything will exceed your expectations. If you're even remotely interested in video along with photography, DO IT and chose Claire and Andy! They make you feel so comfortable and even if you're stressed during the big day, none of that will show in these images that last a lifetime. Our best decision, other than picking each other, was choosing Claire Marika Photography to capture our day.

Claire is the best!! Taking pictures with her was so fun and she made us so good. She captured my wedding day perfectly. I could not have asked for anything better!

I had the good fortune of finding Claire's Instagram page last year when I needed some updated pictures. Working with her was pleasant and easy, and the pictures exceeded my expectations.

When my now husband and I got engaged earlier this year, I knew immediately I wanted to work with Claire. As a newly engaged couple, we had no idea where to start or how to plan a wedding. When we met with Claire, she provided helpful guidance on vendors and venues. Throughout the planning process, we had a lot of questions, and I frequently emailed Claire asking for help. She always responded quickly with sound advice.

In both our engagement and bridal sessions, Claire was a true professional. She kept things moving, made us feel comfortable, and took advantage of the natural light and setting. We never felt like our poses were forced or contrived.

Prior to our wedding, we had a few check-in calls with Claire, and as always, we knew she had every detail covered. Working with a tight time frame, she managed to capture all the special moments of our wedding day and wrangle family members for group pictures. She also caught the fun, lighthearted moments between us and our guests.

Thanks to Claire, we have a great collection of professional photos that will always be a fond reminder of our wedding day.
