Katherine & Paul in Victoria Park | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

I met Katherine & Paul at the Pavillion Cafe in Victoria Park, East London, on a bright and (still) frosty Sunday morning.

We sat down and spoke about how they met and what things they have planned for their April wedding.






Then when we were frozen, we headed for brunch over to one of my favourite streets, Columbia Road, for hot chocolate and some window shopping.









Katherine & Paul are such a lovely couple and I'm so glad to have had a few quick minutes outside with them on such a beautiful and fresh day. They're getting married in Cambridgeshire but unfortunately, I'm not covering their wedding as I'll be in Denmark photographing a tiny island wedding instead. It's a bitter-sweet life.





You remind me a little of Michelle Pfeiffer, Katherine-Paul's a very lucky man.
 

A little bit of blogland | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

I had both the lovely Emily at Once Wed and the incredibly cool Kat at RockNRollBride both write beautiful features on my most recent wedding. I will admit that I thought this would be a popular one when I spoke to Ella about Sam's suit and pried some details from her about that dress. I didn't know though, that she was going to look as amazing as she did, nor that there would be a surprise song during the wedding...

It's always excellent when I have my work featured, but to have a double post between the US and the UK was really exciting. I know a lot of my ideal brides look to Once Wed for inspiration, as do I as a photographer, so it's been great to organise meets with a whole new audience. I have an exceptionally busy next few weeks on my hands!

If you missed Ella & Sam's posts online, you can still catch up with Once Wed and RockNRoll Bride too.

Thank you both, for your beautiful posts.

Ella & Sam | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

You might recognise this bride from a wedding I photographed in September for her sister, with the red shoes. It turns out that style runs in the family...

I don't think I could write enough to explain how special it really was. Not only was Sam the most besotted groom, he laughed and joked all day in his bow tie and floral shirt, whilst Ella beamed and grinned and looked amazing at their very emotional English Heritage wedding in Greenwich. It was then off to the local wine vaults for a secret dinner, decked out with candles and hand-chosen gifts for everyone.

Such beautiful people, such beautiful details, such a beautiful day. Thank you both so much for letting me record it for you; it was an absolute honour.

A Sneak Peek | Ella & Sam | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

Well, what a busy one 2010 is proving to be. In the past week, I have: photographed a very cute tot, a brand new cafe, had a quick engagement session in the park (with snow), met three stunning brides with most beautiful eyes, booked two destination weddings and a few UK weddings too, and finished & delivered a very exciting wedding to a berry-brown bride, fresh from her honeymoon. It's been a brilliant week.

I have a quick sneak peek of her wedding to share, with a full post to come next week. I fear it's going to take me a while to whittle down my favourites...

I'm off now to the SWPP convention to meet some new album suppliers and buy some new kit. It's raining, but it's a good day; I've just had cheese on toast for breakfast.

Baby, It's Cold Outside | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

Whilst everyone is talking about the snow in London, and the cold, and the traffic and having the heating on all day... I am warm inside, at The Stag, listening to The Doors and playing Scrabble.

Cold is a good time to meet brides and grooms and to get excited about weddings planned in the sun. I have some very exciting outdoor weddings to photograph this year and I am literally counting down the days. Roll on Summertime.

I have a most beautiful wedding to show you soon; my last of 2009. English Heritage, a wine cellar, ruffles and a bow tie. I think you'll like it.

A Look Back at 2009's Weddings | Chloe Browne : London Wedding Photographer

Well, what a beautiful year it has been. So many weddings, so many new friends, so many photos...

I've had the pleasure of photographing weddings all over London this year, in sun, rain and snow and I've loved them all. Here are a few, but by no means all, of my favourites:

2010 is going to be amazing with so many exciting weddings coming up from Covent Garden to the countryside, here and abroad. I cannot wait.

Thank you to all of you who let me share your day and to all of those who have listened to me going on about lenses and apertures and editing... in particular my ever-enduring husband who I couldn't love more. We got married too this year.

Wishing you all the very best until next year.

Meet Jake | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

My friends Debbie & Jared have the most beautiful little boy. His name is Jake and he has the biggest and cheekiest blue eyes. He's so gorgeous, I am not the only one to have picked up on it.

Debs & I went for a walk around Hyde Park last week; up by the fountains, along to the adventure playground and back home with a latte. I think we tired him out well enough but I will admit to being on the unfit side of exhausted too. 13 hours on your feet in heels with two heavy cameras at a wedding is nothing compared to half an hour in the park with this one:

If you are the type of person who loves photos of other peoples' beautiful children (I am); then have a look at photographer Jodie Chapman's most beautiful family too.

A Walk to the Shops | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

Sometimes, when you're still fragile from the flu, just a walk to the shops wrapped up nice and warm, makes you feel so much better. Fresh air, time to wander, a coffee and a little slice of cake (or two...) It just does the trick.

And of course, the walk back home again.

Sarah & Marek | Chloe Browne : London Wedding Photographer

Just finished the edit from last Saturday's wedding in Kent and I couldn't not share this photo. There were flashfloods, howling winds and cloudy skies, but Sarah & Marek brightened things up. We only got 5 minutes outside before being windswept back into the car, but this photo made the wet lens and hair frizz, worth it.

Aren't they lovely?

Deano | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

I met Deano one afternoon along the Southbank, selling hot peanuts. I used to think what a horrible job it would be to work on the street, selling stuff like this. But he changed my mind. He offered me some, but I wasn't hungry, so I just took his photo instead. Standing under a bridge along the river, he looked to me like South London.

He was really polite, a tiny bit shy and I liked his smiley eyes.
