I am always enamoured with nights like this one.
An evening at home with my husband, in our little London flat, sat outside under the heater on the terrace, listening to our neighbour’s winter concert, with a bottle of Oyster Bay. Feeling alive and truly grateful for life and love, forever surprised at how sweet London can be.
It’s been a phenomenal start to the year. I am already overwhelmed by what’s in store, but overwhelmed in the best way possible.
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.
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.
On a calm afternoon in Paris you can walk along for miles, you can stroll past the sights, you can stop for a while. We sauntered and we chatted, that afternoon in May, I edged them into nice light and at the end of the day, I waved them goodbye and wished them bonne chance, au revoir for a week… til their wedding in Provence.
When you’re invited for lunch with a soon bride-to-be and she shows you her beautiful home, you talk through her plans and quickly it feels like she’s someone you’ve always known. A captivating couple, with plans so exciting, you have an idea this might well be, a day to remember in the middle of summer, James and Marina, I salute thee.
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?
A laid back Australian and a sweet and pretty Brit, meet in England and fall in love. He returns home, then moves to Singapore and she soon follows. Time passes, promises are made and a ring is bought. July arrives, families travel and hands are squeezed. Hugs are shared, a husband and wife are made and Charlotte & Andrew are married in Mallorca.
Love the shot A LOT!, but ‘patio heater’, *wags finger* ;)
Love this photo, so warm and gorgeous! I’m thankful too for having met you last year, you’re such an amazing photographer and an inspiration to me! Keep up the fabulous work. x
Beautiful sentiment. We never do that enough. Take stock. Deep breath. Live! x
A wonderful picture! Looks like it was a brilliant night. Best wishes for 2011.
I wish I had a flat to have parties like that! Not quite the same scenario when you are staring out at your downstairs neighbours garden with rubbish and broken trampolines in it ;) You deserve to be here – you are one talented lady and I love your work. Can’t wait to see what you do this year. Mega x
oh I wish I was there.. looks like a beautiful way to spend an evening!
happy new year Chloe!
What a great evening!
