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 can’t take credit for that one that my husband took as I was
actually in the water, in a cage, barking like a seal.

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.

    Megan & Nathan got married on a sweet, still day in May.  I started the morning with Megan at the Haymarket Hotel where she was getting ready with a pretty little entourage of glamorous friends and family.

    Thank you Meg & Nate, for inviting us as guests and for having me photograph your lovely wedding.

    In the five weeks since I last blogged, I have photographed four weddings in London, a wedding in Tuscany and a wedding in Rome atop a castle. I’ve been to the south of France, fallen in love with St Tropez, photographed an intimate elopement, flown back to Tuscany to photograph another sweet little wedding, and spent two glorious days in the unexpected London sunshine with a wedding at Northbook Park and a very first True Mod wedding.

    We’ll be making up for lost time next week with a glamorous wedding in Provence, full of sunshine, smiles and our ever-gorgeous Georgia.

  • A WEDDING IN PORTUGAL

    Jess & Ludge got married in April this year in Lourinha, Portugal and I was so grateful to have been there. Friends and family flew from Sydney, London and Paris to celebrate and it made for a beautiful reunion.

    The evening before, everyone met up for a chat and a catch up, this time in a tiny old village. We stood outside in the street, laughing and talking whilst the sun set and the bar next door sold glasses of wine for 30¢. This is the tiny village that Ludgero grew up in.


    Early the next morning, I headed out to photograph Jess getting ready with her mum, in a lovely bright hotel room. My favourite.

    Jing & Bai are a truly unique couple. From the moment we met, I loved their style and individuality, Jing’s cheeky eyes and Bai’s sense of calm. I was honoured to photograph their intimate London wedding, which they shared together with twenty friends. At our first meeting, Bai told me that he liked tilt-shift photography, so I bought a tilt-shift lens to use at their wedding. It’s a tiny little bit magic.

  • A CRETE ISLAND WEDDING

    Earlier on this year whilst on holiday in California, I travelled home via San Francisco for a meeting with these two. Nancy works with textiles and has an incredible eye for design and all things beautiful and when you talk to her, she gives you the impression of always being on the verge of bursting into laughter. Chic, cheeky & in my eyes, utterly amazing.

    I was so happy to have met them both before their wedding in Crete in June this year but even happier that the next place we met, was the night before their wedding, with all of their guests, for dinner by the sea…

  2. That shark photo is amazing! Did you do diving with sharks? Please tell me all about it, it is my dream to go diving with great whites.

  3. My oh my, what beautiful photos Chloe! I cannot pick a favorite. They are all so vibrant, full of life and colors. I adore Africa and I feel that you've really captured some of it in these images. All the best in Sicily! ;)

  4. SHAAARK!

    Vibrant photos, so beautiful. Perhaps we'll go on holiday with you too next time?

  5. SHAAARK!

    Vibrant photos, so beautiful. Perhaps we'll go on holiday with you too next time?

  6. Ha Susan you stole my idea! Seriously Chloe, be-au-ti-ful photos! Stunning colours, you've got such a good eye for shots :)

  7. LJB, I did do shark cage diving and it was brilliant! We didn't feed them (ethical diving dahling) but they came really close and one eyeballed my husband. He looks a bit more like a seal than me though. If you ever get the chance, you should definitely do it!

  8. I love the pics from your second favourite cafe, totally eclectic furniture and great vibrant colours!
    gorgeous….

  9. cape to cuba rocks..think i'll stop past there on the weekend ;)

    Love Emi

  12. Hi there, I've just found your blog by Googling natural light photographers in London. It is SO great to find such amazing, creative and inspiring work being done here in London. Most of the work I've found doesn't hit the creative spot like yours. And I'm from Cape Town, which you have captured beautifully. I'm moving back home in October to (hopefully) start my own photography business. Not weddings, but very much natural light, real, honest, candid stuff. Anyway, will be following your blog and work from now on, thanks for the inspiration. Estelle

  13. Chloe the lion shark brave heart. Not only do you take ridiculously good looking photos but you swam with a great white. R-E-S-P-E-C-T

  14. The sharks were the highlight for me. Seeing them face-to-face makes you realise how ridiculously useless you are when you are as a human swimming in the ocean. And yes one did stare at me for a bit too long.

  15. Oh Estelle, what a lovely thing to have written to me as a complete stranger. I have full faith that with a passion, you can pretty much do anything. I really look forward to seeing your work!

    Thank you everyone for always being so nice to me. It's so encouraging and helps me keep on my feet.

  16. Thanks a lot. It has been interesting seeing such a beautiful South African wedding
