Max emailed me with the most lovely romantic plans to propose to his girlfriend Daisy. The couple were to be staying at Cadbury House Hotel in Bristol for a short break just before Christmas. He pictured the scene… the old hotel building as the backdrop, the large Christmas tree glowing as dusk fell, he and Daisy taking a walk before dinner then Max getting down on one knee and surprising her with a diamond ring and probably the most important question he will ever ask her. I was to be there, discreetly stood nearby pretending to photograph the hotel and grounds but actually photographing this beautiful moment between them. The plan was delivered seamlessly (even with an oblivious hotel gardener quickly waved out of shot just as Max positioned Daisy by the tree). Daisy was completely surprised and clearly in shock repeating ‘Oh Gosh!’ at least 50 times! But it was a Yes from her. It made me smile a lot. It made Max smile even more. I love capturing moments like these. Congratulations Max and Daisy, wishing you every happiness together and best of luck with the wedding planning.
