Max Clarke

Based in The Scottish Borders, I photograph weddings across the UK for ordinary couples who want natural, relaxed photographs without feeling awkward in front of the camera.

Having photographed over 500 weddings, I know that most people aren’t comfortable being photographed - and that’s completely normal. You don’t need to know how to pose, and you certainly don’t need to be a model.

My role is simply to help you feel at ease, enjoy your wedding day, and create timeless photographs that genuinely reflect who you are. With a natural approach and bold, true-to-life colours, your images will feel as authentic years from now as they do today.

The Experience in Their Words

Mr & Mrs Walker

"I do recommend Clarke Studios. He was our photographer at our wedding and he was really nice and made us feel comfortable, especially as my husband hates his photo being taken but we do have some lovely shots. The album is beautiful and the extra package we chose was a very good deal. Some amazing shots."

Mr & Mrs Topping

"Max was our photographer and he took some amazing shots at our wedding at The Blacksmiths Shop, Gretna Green in December 2024. He took control, made us feel at ease and was very professional. A delight to deal with on the day and afterwards. Photo gallery was very quick along with album and digital copies to follow. Max came as part of a Gretna package but he truly was fab."

Mr & Mrs Scollen

"Max made our wedding photo experience fun and relaxed whilst capturing some beautiful pictures of us! Max helped us set up a live stream of our ceremony and went above and beyond to help our day go smoothly. He's a lovely guy and we would 100% recommend him!"
