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.

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.

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.

Meet Tallulah | Chloe Browne: London Wedding Photographer

Usually, I'd gush about how much I loved photographing this little one, but I don't want to bore you. She's a real cute head and these are a few of my favourite photos of my friends' beautiful little girl, Miss Tallulah.

Katherine & Paul ~ engaged | 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.
 

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.

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.

Love Lea Lea Jones | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a not only beautiful young lady, but also a very talented singer, homegrown in my very own London Town. Lea Lea Jones is sweet and self-effacing, but she certainly turned some heads in Brick Lane in all the vintage clothes provided by Beyond Retro.

We got told off by the shop owner for taking this next photo outside without permission and I had to apologise profusely. I do this well, being English. I think it was worth it.

Lea Lea's single Cake is celebrating it's release with a launch party at Punk, Soho on November 11th, 2009. Make sure you get tickets. See you there.

Laura loves Rob... | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

Here are the last of Rob & Laura's portrait session along the Thames. It was clearly a beautiful day and by the end of our few hours walking around town, I think Rob had forgotten I was there.

On Sunday,  Laura told me this was one of her favourites and she even compared me to one of my favourite photographers. This was at the pub though, and I think she thought I was getting the next round...

We ended up back at theirs with Rob playing some guitar and teaching me not to be afraid of Garage Band. He's incredibly talented and possibly one of the sweetest men I have ever met. And that's why Laura loves Rob. 

If you're interested in spending a couple of hours outside with me chasing you around with my camera, don't hesitate to get in touch. Autumn couldn't be more beautiful for portraits.

Rob loves Laura... | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing two friends of mine to celebrate their fantastic five years of marriage. Laura is aColombiana and Rob is from Canadia, so they wanted to have some cool photos in their favourite spots, to remember their time spent in London in the years to come.

It was a brilliantly sunny day and I have so many favourites, I'm going to split it into two posts. Here is the first lot; it's amazing what you can do with an hour in Holland Park.

We met a gorgeous little sausage dog {is that what they're called?}, with the shiniest little eyes.

and Rob strutted his stuff on an impromptu catwalk.

right before they saved me from falling to my death off a park bench. No photos of that though, thank you, although I did see a sneaky Italian Tourist take one.

And then it was off to Tower Hill for a walk along Southbank.

More to come next week. 

Beautiful Brick Lane Broads | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

There are few things better in London Town than the sun shining on Brick Lane on a Saturday afternoon. Everybody is happy and selling things and drinking beer or Pimms.

I saw these two beautiful girls as I walked back to Spitalfields and I couldn't not have taken their photos.

I had to beg them with flattery because they were busy selling pretty things for your hair. But it was worth it, I think. Aren't they just so naturally beautiful?

Sitting on the Dock of the Thames... | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

...watching the tide roll in.

The sun rarely shines in London, but when it does, it's glorious. I walked past this man a week ago whilst out with Rob and Laura taking portraits.

I wonder who he was waiting for.

Matilda Jean Bailey | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

She has sweet red hair and a top lip which is always sucked into her tiny little mouth.
She's the first red squirrel from my friends Sam & Andy and I love her dearly.
