They met at work, he thought she seemed fun and she loved his sponteneity and how easily he made her laugh. Though language may have been a barrier for some, this was not the case for these two; in fact Marzena admits that it ‘just felt right from the start’. Nine years, a mortgage and a romantic dinner proposal later and they are embarking on a whole new journey as they plan to marry this September.
I first ‘met’ with Marzena and Jose many months ago with the wonder of Skype! It was so lovely to see them cosied up in their home environment together…I quietly observed the way they looked to one another to confirm they were in agreement about everything and I was touched by how considerate they were of one another’s thoughts and opinions. In return, they were able to see a few of my album samples and my crazy animated face when I got excited talking about Hill Place!
A month ago (I’m sorry, time just runs away with me!! I MUST blog more often!) I met with Marzena and Jose in St James’ Park, London, to hear more about their day and document a little of their time together. I was absolutely gifted with glorious sunshine during July’s fabulous heatwave; the people of London were out soaking up the sun and we did the same! As we navigated the crowds, I was delighted to find a few gorgeously picturesque spots but what charmed me most was my lovely couple. Together, these guys happily went along with everything I suggested, made a few suggestions of their own and didn’t bat an eyelid when I suggested a dance under the bandstand…it turns out their Salsa moves are really quite impressive!
Thank you, both, for such a wonderful session – I’m so excited to see you again and document your special day at Hill Place next month.
