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..?

  • RECENT MAGAZINE FEATURES

    The May & June issue of You & Your Wedding magazine is very exciting as it features quite a few of my photos, both weddings and portraits.

    I got to meet the magazine’s new editor Maxine Briggs and spent a little while photographing her around her office. She’s very lovely and will no doubt do a tremendous job in heading up one of our favourite titles.

    I was also asked to photograph Peta who has the enviable title of editor-at-large and her very stylish fashion assistant, Alison.

    It’s always lovely for my clients to have something else to hold onto after the wedding and Clare & Rich’s Cotswolds wedding was an absolute detail-fest, just perfect for You & Your Wedding. Their beautiful wedding will be blogged soon, I promise!

  • THANK YOU, MARTHA STEWART WEDDINGS

    I am hugely honoured and incredibly flattered to have been included in Martha Stewart Weddings’ Top Wedding Photographers list! It’s an accolade I would never have dreamt of, but thanks to the exceptionally generous team at Martha Stewart Weddings (I’m looking at you ladies, Shira & Darcy) I find myself unbelievably listed among my inspirations…

    You can download the pretty Spring issue here and if you’d like to see a printed copy, there will be ten on the shelves of my office. And one in a gold frame, too.  Is it too early in the day for a champagne celebration..?

  • A YOU & YOUR WEDDING FEATURE

    I am always thrilled to see my work in magazines and doubly excited when the bride is as excitable as the very lovely Jo. The Scoones had a very colourful summer wedding in Kent last year and it was an absolute treat to photograph.

    You can see their feature in the latest copy of You & Your Wedding, January/February. What a brilliant start to the year for us both!

    I am very lucky to have had some incredible support from magazines such as the British Journal of Photography, You & Your Wedding, Cosmopolitan Bride and Wedding magazine over the past twelve months. I’m also very grateful to some truly beautiful blogs too; Once Wed, Style Me Pretty & here on our very own Great British Isles, Rock N Roll Bride, Before the Big Day, Belle Amour & Love My Dress have all been very lovely to me too.

    I have another thirteen weddings to blog from last year, alongside a couple of engagement sessions too. I do so love this quieter time of year; spending lots of time talking to my summer brides, booking flights for foreign weddings and wandering around town taking portraits.

    My next wedding isn’t until March, in the very beautiful Stockholm; one of my favourite cities in the world, where absolutely everyone is beautiful. It’s absolutely true and I’ll prove it!

  • A MAUNSEL HOUSE WEDDING

    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.

  • AU REVOIR, OCTOBER

    Summer is over, autumn has arrived and the busiest months of shooting, I seem to have survived…

    October on Instagram was pretty eventful… a great deal of happiness was found with a trip to Bali to photograph a very, very beautiful wedding day, a hair-raising trip to Gilli Trawangan and a few days of peace and quiet before the 24-hour round trip back to London. I still have so much editing to catch up on, but it felt a little rude not to bid a fond farewell to the incredibly special month that was October. 

  • A HAMPSHIRE WEDDING

    Carey and James are a lovely, down-to-earth couple who got married in the first week in June. They held their reception at the very stylish Anchor Inn in the very quaint Hampshire, out in the English countryside. I have never been to such a fantastic pub in all of my life and I’m not proud to admit that I’ve visited a fair few. We had such beautiful weather that everyone was in the highest of spirits, which really made for quite the perfect day.

  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
