A WEDDING AT ST PAULS

Rae is the kind of person who makes you laugh with one sly look and she found her perfect match in Bill. They live in New York, but chose to get married in London at The Crypt in St Paul’s Cathedral as Bill’s lovely mum has an MBE, which is like a VIP pass for St Paul’s. I am so glad to have met them both and to have shared in their wedding day. It was grey and windy, but to me they proved that it doesn’t matter one tiny bit. They were getting married and that’s all that really counts, right?

You’re not really allowed to take photos after this point, but if you’re really very nice and a little bit wily, you can just about sneak in a couple of frames before an eyebrow gets raised.

The ever-lovely Penny at Tiger Lily Weddings worked exceptionally hard on this wedding to make sure that everything looked beautiful and ran like clockwork. We love Penny a lot.

Emma Jane & I both photographed this wedding as a joint labour of love. It’s so nice having her alongside me on bigger weddings and I’m not sure you could tell our work apart, could you? She’s like my sexier Swedish twin.

This week has been full of delivering wedding edits, exciting new bookings for 2012 and a little bit of time for reflection too. I’m heading to Italy on Thursday and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to photograph a wedding in Rome on Saturday. I haven’t been back since I moved home to London three years ago to marry that husband of mine. I can’t wait to wander those cobbles and go back to La Scala and Gusto, my very favourite restaurants.

I also have a portrait session on Friday for a special Romana very close to my heart. It’s going to be an excellent weekend.

  • A FLORAL CROWNED QUEEN

    I often fall a little bit in love with my brides and find it quite hard to detach myself from what is for most, a day full of emotion. This wedding at the family farm, was no exception. Tori & Oli are the personification of what it means to love and be loved and never have I seen people so utterly adored by their friends and family. I hope these photos go some way in showing a snippet of just what a beautiful day of colour and happiness it was.

  • THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY

    I was doubly thrilled recently to have had one of my images printed in the May issue of the British Journal of Photography, to advertise an event I’ll be speaking at in London, on July 1st.

    You may be able to grab a copy of the British Journal of Photography’s May edition quickly before the June issue goes on sale. It’s a very beautiful magazine which takes a good look behind the scenes of photography and discusses the latest British photography campaigns, with insight and a discerning eye.

    At Unveiled, I’ll be being interviewed by the infamous Kat of Rocknrollbride fame, talking a little bit about my photography style and how I found a spot in the British wedding photography market. The event is supported by Hasselblad and so I’ve also been asked to trial the newest addition to the Hasselblad H range, the H4D40, before the event which I am very excited about. It’s an amazing medium format camera and I’ll even get to use it on an actual wedding too!

    The editor of Wedding magazine, Catherine Westwood will be there too, so it will be interesting to hear about the wedding industry from both her print and Kat’s online perspective.

    Any of you who have met me know how much I love to talk, but it’s still a little bit intimidating getting up in front of big groups of people; especially those industry professionals who read the BJP and look to Hasselblad as the respected brand that it is. If you’re interested in coming along to heckle me, you can buy tickets for Unveiled here and also enter the photography competition too if you are a professional or aspiring wedding photographer.

  • 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.

  4. Beautiful photographs Chloe! It’s really lovely to see what the rest of the day was like after seeing only the reception. Shooting their photobooth was such fun, both Bill and Rae were so lovely and I wish them both all the best in their future together. Bet they’re blown away by their images :-)
