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.

Beautiful Brick Lane Broads

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.

Have you been to Harlem? | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

I've tried to make it a monthly occasion, to meet up with my closest friend for dinner, drinks and a good old girls' chat. We've both been so busy of late, we haven't done this in months. The last time we did was here, at Harlem.

Up On the Roof | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

One night in Melbourne spent up on the roof, high above the rest of the city, in deck chairs, under blankets, eating crepes and drinking cocktails.

It couldn't have been a better evening to have spent watching Peter Sellers in The Party.

The Roof Top Cinema, and the city's beautiful art deco influence are two of the top three things I love about Melbourne.

You Krisko, are the third.

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.

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.

Barry & Yvonne | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

This is my biggest and most boisterous wedding to date. Aided by my dutiful fiancé and guarder of memory cards, a beautiful full-format D700 & a 24-70mm superfast lens, which helped me avoid the Evil Flash; I photographed Barry & Yvonne's wedding in April at Marylebone Town Hall in Westminster, London.

I had such a great time at this wedding; good friends, strong personalities, an open bar and a dancefloor absolutely owned by the bride.

I Wish... | Chloe Browne: London Wedding photographer

...that every day could be like this one. A nice lady gave us two free tickets as we were fighting a war with not-so-nice man, to sneak infront of Kenwoood House.

We won.
