I met this lovely couple in Cheltenham for their engagement photos as the town has a special meaning for them. It’s always great to incorporate something meaningful to you in your images. We had agreed to meet by the theatre, however, I got a bit taken aback once I got there, as a charity “Santa Run” race was taking place and the whole area had been claimed by runners dressed up as Father Christmases! We quickly decided to walk along the river to avoid the sea of red jolly mens. Faiza and Hayden were natural in front of the camera. We kept chatting – Faiza is a French “expat” like me and we talked about the upcoming wedding. I can’t wait to see these two again for their wedding at Dumbleton Hall in the Cotswolds on Valentine’s Day!
