THE PERFECT ELOPEMENT
I often get asked what my best ever wedding was to photograph. I think people expect me to say ‘the one at Westminster Abbey’ or ‘the little one in Italy’, when really my most favourite weddings, however cliché, are the ones that are all about love. Venues are chic and expensive dresses are beautiful, but give me a couple happy and in love and I couldn’t ask for anything more. These two individuals decided to elope. They chose a place where they could exchange their vows and spend the weekend, calm and content. They chose their outfits, the day for their promises and then they chose me. I really couldn’t be more grateful sharing days like these.
Venue: Le Manoir
If you have ever thought about eloping, I say just do it. Don’t they look happy that they did? In fact I have another elopement to photograph next month, this time in London. I’m really very fortunate to have the kind of job that invites me into occasions like these and for all the beautiful people I have the opportunity to meet. I honestly couldn’t ask for a job more satisfying.
Next up is a little wedding I had the pleasure of photographing in la città eterna. A welcome return to my second home, Rome.
This glamorous wedding near Dijon for the very dapper Nicolas & the exceptional Alexandra…
I love the venue, I love her dress and I love the simplicity of this. Really serene and beautiful, Chloé.
A lovely way to celebrate a marriage & nice photos to treasure. I like how happy they are. Nice work.
Sweet dress! Do you know where it’s from?
Oh that is so beautiful and very moving! This is how my other half would like to do it… The last b&w shot is my favourite x
Oh so beautiful!!! I love their outfit! They look soooo happy. And I totally agree, that once you have a couple who’s madly in love, you don’t need anymore!
Wow, I would never had entertained the thought of eloping until now – this is absolutely gorgeous!
They look so relaxed and content in each other’s company! Beautifully photographed.
Oh my, you truly have exceeded yourself. What stunningly beautiful detail. You can feel the peace and love in every photo. Well done.XXXXX
Omg, so beautiful! Love her dress and the gardens – I would elope there every day! My most favourite shoot of yours to date. Love it
Yes yes yes! Elopements are where it’s at. Totally about the love between the couple. Love this wedding Chloe.
