Cuba Libre | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

I wasn't too fussed about where we would go on our honeymoon. I said that I was more than happy for us to spend two nights in Paris on The Long Drive Home from our wedding, and left Jason to decide.

We ended up in Cuba.

I had never been to a country like this before. It was not the time-warp I was expecting but instead, a raw and wide-open city. Derelict buildings, a heavy, heavy heat and the tricky charm of the natives made it quite an intoxicating experience.

Happy and bright in places

Dark and pensive in others

It's a strange country and Havana an unusual and distinctive city. I don't think I could hurry back, but it was definitely worth the visit, not merely because it was our honeymoon, more so because it was just so different.

Eleanor & Steve | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a truly beautiful wedding in Hampstead, north west London back in June.

I sat down to talk to Eleanor about her plans - everything had been so well
thought-out and so intricately detailed, I came away after our two hour 'brief-meet', inspired and excited.

The ceremony was held at Rosslyn Hill Chapel, at the tail end of Hampstead High St.
Preparations began with the bridal party, then it was an excited rush to Rosslyn Hill Chapel to catch some of the preparations - Eleanor & Steve have very talented friends who helped decorate the chapel with a travel theme and then pitched in to play organ, piano, read poetry and sing for the ceremony.

It was a most beautiful day with a reception at Hampstead Heath's elegant Kenwood House. Eleanor made the most beautiful bride and new, dear friend.
