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..?

    I was really thrilled to have been asked to contribute some advice to You & Your Wedding’s photography special and especially honoured to see that my thoughts were sat alongside some very highly esteemed UK photographers too.


    Wedding photography is obviously hugely important to me, but whether I’m photographing your wedding or not, I still want you to have beautiful photos. Those are heirlooms you’ll frame and hang and share, so they should be beautiful. Over the past 50 weddings, I’ve learnt that every single wedding is different, but having guidelines to work with for your photos certainly helps. The article covers all sorts of aspects like deciding on a style, choosing your photographer, allocating a budget and most importantly, timings. Pick up a copy of the most recent You & Your Wedding for some invaluable advice.

    I’m heading to Edinburgh at the end of the week, for a very lovely country wedding at Lennoxlove House. I returned home from Crete this morning fresh off an Easyjet red-eye, to a huge mountain of editing and emailing but it’s always so good to be home.

    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.

    High on the hills of a village in Tuscany, the sun shining down behind clouds, for the intimate wedding of Liam & Nicole, two families and friends gathered round.

    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.

  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!
