Jo & Jeremy | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

London Wedding Photographer

I travelled out to Kent for Jo & Jeremy's beautiful wedding in June. Jo is just like her ma, so sparkly and vivacious and it was lovely to see them together before we headed to the church.

The very, very pretty Canadian wedding blog, Style Me Pretty, featured Carey & James' beautiful countryside wedding this week.

Thank you Abbey & Erin!

Lindsey & Tim | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

Lindsey & Tim live and were married in June in Covent Garden, London. I loved their sense of style and clearly how important their families were to them both on their wedding day. 

British Journal of Photography ~ July Issue

~

This time last week, I had just come home from a day spent at Unveiled, an event held by the British Journal of Photography in association with Wedding magazine and Hasselblad. The event was aimed at wedding photographers in the UK; those established and aspiring.

I was thrilled to be asked by the BJP to speak about my experience in the wedding photography industry and to stand up alongside Kat of the infamous RocknRoll bride, to talk about how I began Caught the Light.

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.

Philippa & James ~ engaged | Chloe Browne : London Wedding Photographer

I met Philippa and James a few months ago, to talk about their wedding in July. Philippa is one of the most stylish people I have ever met; she's so poised and cool, she's the kind of girl you imagine characters in films being based on. For their engagement session, they took me to the beautiful hidden gem that is Petersham Nurseries in Richmond and waited patiently for me to calm down and refocus on them-there were so many pretty things to look at!

There are few things better than coming home to a beautiful invitation, after a long day at work.

Hannah & Tom ~ engaged | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

~
Hannah & Tom are a very lovely couple who I met for a chat about their wedding at the beginning of the year. Hannah loves and is also studying theatre, so we decided to go for a bit of a walk around London's theatre district, after a little balancing act in St James' park.

Cape Town, South Africa | Chloe Browne : London Wedding Photographer

~

A couple of months ago, we went to Cape Town, for Richard & Sanchia's wedding and decided to make a really good holiday of it.

On our first day, we rushed down to a beach bar to have cocktails in the setting sun with the very lovely Emma Norén and her handsome Ricky. 

This is my first photo taken with her beautiful Rolleiflex-there's something sweet about taking a photographer's photo. Emma photographed our wedding last year and for that, I adore her. 

Sharon & Rich ~ Engaged | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

-

A few weeks ago, I met up with the very lovely Sharon & Rich for their engagement session in Clapham. It's always nice to be able to photograph clients in an area that means something to them, so it was good to have a wander around the town they call home. 

Sharon has the most beautiful vintage engagement ring; it's huge and perfectly unique. Rarely do I get ring envy, but I was absolutely green with this one.

If you're looking for a wedding magazine to read this weekend, could I recommend this one?  

A Quick Look~Kristina & Baljit: Chloe Browne | London Wedding Photographer

Here is just a very sneak peek at Baljit & Kristina's Danish Island wedding earlier this month. I don't usually like to share photos before couples have had chance to see them first, but with the sun blazing today in London, I really couldn't resist (forgive me Kristina!)

Jazelyn & Darren ~ Engaged | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

Jazelyn & Darren make a very cute couple. He's English and she's American and they live in a very cool part of London-Westbourne Grove. When Jazelyn sent me a message about having an engagement session, I was very excited as I knew they'd want to head to the infamous Portobello Road. They were such great fun to photograph and I'm dying to find out where they choose to have their wedding. They're trying to decide between Europe & the USA... Barcelona gets my vote, Darren.

Albums & Discs: Chloe Browne | London Wedding Photographer

~
I try to be a wedding photographer that I myself would hire. So, when I put together packages I take into consideration what creative brides may like and what they might like to organise themselves. I provide high-resolution images on disc to all of my couples, so they're able to print and share their photos as they wish, with the option to buy custom-designed albums if they would like them too. The majority of my clients prefer to organise their own albums, being artists, designers or just those who love a good rummage through Paperchase.

After much hunting and sampling, I finally came across a book company that I really liked. They allow me complete flexibility in album layout and design and provide a simple, matte, digitally-printed album on fine art paper, with a really beautiful texture.

Sanchia & Richard ~ Cape Town | Chloe Browne: Wedding Photographer in Cape Town

I met Sanchia three years ago, working as a hairdresser in Camden. She was the first hairdresser to tell me that my thick and unruly hair was actually beautiful and instantly, we were friends. Together, Sanchia & Richard are a truly fantastic couple; large-hearted, vivacious and very, very stylish, so I was priviledged to photograph their intimate garden ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa whilst there on holiday last month.

Here are all of my favourites, get ready for a gargantuan post:

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. 

Lia & Gerald ~ A Sneak Peek: Chloe Browne | London Wedding Photographer

Just a quick sneak peek of Lia & Gerald's wedding on Saturday at the ever-so-London Haymarket Hotel. I had to steal them outside and away from the crowd for a couple of minutes, before they got hauled back inside for the party. 

Coffee at the Salusbury | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

When I lived in Queens Park, the Salusbury Deli was my favourite café. It had local photography on the walls, secret benches out the back and amazing melanzane alla parmigiana.

It had changed a bit since I last had breakfast there-sat with my husband the day before we left for our wedding last year. There are now cool lights, tables sprawled with newspapers and walls full of eclectic frames.
