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.
June in Lake Como is a magical place to be, to wander and take photos and absorb the sheer beauty. The water and the sunshine and peace and light abound as the lake laps to the water’s edge, which is where I could be found, with pizza and gelato and a camera in my hand as I thanked another couple for bringing me back to my homeland…
It’s lunchtime in London and it’s raining and grey, so I am dreaming of an evening in Crete, where we had dinner with the sunset and the shore.
It’s times like these that I am so thankful that I get to take photos for a living, meet beautifully unique people every week and have the opportunity to share one of the most memorable days of their lives with them. I’ll take all the grey and rainy days in the world for that.
Tomorrow, I get to photograph a three-day wedding in beautifully quaint Hurley and I’ve been looking forward to it all week!
I am thrilled to have had a few very lovely features in some of our best British bridal magazines over the past couple of months.
You & Your Wedding’s current September/October issue features the beautiful Matt & Jess whose wedding at The House Meadow I photographed last September. Their outdoor humanist wedding was picture perfect.
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.
A pretty weekend in Somerset, where the sky shone down so bright. A man and a woman were dressed to be married, beneath sunshine and perfect light. Four bridesmaids, three speeches, two families, one day, these two made me smile deep inside. This is the job that I love so much, picture memories of a groom and his bride.
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!
