AN AMALFI COAST WEDDING

I flew all the way to Italy, to picture these two get wed and I cried at the sheer beauty, of the sweet things this groom said. Their public declaration on the Amalfi coast that day, filled me up with so much happiness, an utterly perfect wedding in May. Just thirty of their closest friends, gathered together to witness this, four earnest hands held together closed tight, two vows and that first kiss.

Thank you both Nicola & Simon, for letting me be there on your wedding day, for opening up yourselves so beautifully and for saying the nicest things I’ve ever heard.

Venue: Gran Convento, Amalfi // Planners:  The Amalfi Experience // Those Shoes: Dolce & Gabbana // Wedding videographers: The lovely Clark & Palmer boys

It’s been an exceptionally busy summer so far, full of incredible days spent with total strangers, having the best days of their lives. This really is my dream job. Up next is a very sweet little wedding in Hampstead’s Burgh House I photographed back in April when there was sunshine. Do you remember those days..?

  • A NONSUCH MANSION WEDDING

    Laura & Andy were one of my very first bookings at the beginning of the year and I knew immediately that we’d get on really well. They’re both into swing dance and wanted something individual for their wedding day, so they chose to get married at Nonsuch Mansion, which is a truly beautiful Surrey venue, if you happen to be looking for one.

    I had such a great day with Laura & Andy and their cool bridesmaids, I came away having made some great new friends, with a new addicition to her Frock N Roll Vintage blog. The staff at Nonsuch Mansion are fantastic too. I was served a hot three-course meal and a whole bottle of wine (which being the consummate professional, I didn’t touch!) It was possibly the best venue that I’ve had the pleasure of working at, all year.

    This wedding was also featured on Kat’s ever-inspiring blog,  Rock N Roll Bride today, so head on over to read a little more about Laura & Andy’s planning and inspiration.

  • HELLO ELIJAH

    It’s taken me quite some time to pull this post together. I’ve had mixed emotions about sharing something so personal belonging to my clients, but they asked me to when they saw them and I feel like sharing something different today.

    I had never really thought so much about photographing a birth until I was asked by my two beautiful friends. I was worried I would be in the way, that their memories would be of me and my camera and not of the birth of their first child and also selfishly, that it might put me off having my own children… I wasn’t, they aren’t and it didn’t.

    I was the first person to ever take a photograph of this human being. Hello, Elijah.

    I know he can’t really see but at four minutes old, he looked straight at me.

    Kristina, you have never been more beautiful than you were on 21st January at 7.09am. You know that I am in total awe of you both and that I’m so grateful to have been asked to be there with you, camera in hand. You are simply incredible, made of the most inspiring things and I love you very much.

    I’m away this week for a couple of days, spending time with my ma and sister. It’s times like these that reaffirm just how special a family is.

  • A BUSY THREE WEEKS

    Here’s a sneak of what I’ve been doing over the past twenty-one days.

    Some portraits in Paris…

    Back to London for some pre-wedding photos on Columbia Road…

    A walk along the river after a wedding at St Paul’s…

    And a weekend in Portugal.

    It’s been a very busy three weeks, but the next two are a little calmer with portraits and engagements and a lot of editing to do, before a wedding very close to my heart. I’m also going to be photographing this little beauty, our very own London Bride.

  • A TRIP TO CAPE TOWN

    A couple of months ago, we went to Cape Town, for Richard & Sanchia’s wedding and decided to make a really good holiday of it. On our first day, we rushed down to a beach bar to have cocktails in the setting sun with the very lovely Emma Norén and her handsome Ricky.

    This is my first photo taken with her beautiful Rolleiflex-there’s something sweet about taking a photographer’s photo. Emma photographed our wedding last year and for that, I adore her. We had so much organised for when we visited Cape Town, looking back at all the photos, I am amazed we fitted it all in.

    I’m now off away again for a few days, this time to Sicily to eat, sleep and take photos. Then I’m back to work on two weddings next week, in Covent Garden and the country. It’s going to be a really good week.

  1. Ohhhh! I’ve been waiting for this one since photographing Nicola for her business last year! Doesn’t she look just gorgeous! Love the dress, the flowers, and ohh the location… sigh. Just stunning. What a beautiful wedding, and as always you have captured the emotion, the beauty and the intimacy just perfectly. Loving your work Chloe :) x

  2. wow, what an amazing place, in both the day and evening. I love your photos of the coast (and the bride of course), just perfect!

  3. I knew from your sneak peek a few weeks back that this wedding would have been divine and it certainly was! What a gorgeous day and such a beautiful couple. As strange as it seems, my favourite pictures are the ones of the bride and her father, and particularly the one where they hold hands in the car. That short journey to the ceremony has such a deep meaning, as it represents the last few moments your father has his baby all to himself… I love the fact that you have captured it and the attention you have for such small, but meaningful, details.
    Come sempre, bellissimo!
    Betta x
