Leaving on a Jet Plane... Chloe Browne | London Wedding Photographer


I've had two brides this week ask about Super8 film and talk about lomography, so I thought it fitting to post some of my holiday Holga film. She's a tempremental beast of a plastic camera who loves to leak in light, but I love her. She was in fact, my wedding day gift, so here are a few from my honeymoon roll: Paris & Cuba.

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.
