Bryan and Talya are yet another one of my very special couples who stand as living proof that fairytales are believable, romantic comedy movies should fall into the “documentary” genre, and that all the cliches about the right person finding you at the right time in your life, are true. This beautiful duo, are currently living in London and planning their wedding … a union that seems to have been written in the stars since before either of them were born. Their parents were family friends, and after Bryan’s birth, Talya’s mum Holly made jokes about hoping she would one day have a little girl so she could marry the sweet toddler that was Bryan. At the age of four when asked in jest who she would one day marry, a very prophetic little Talya said with all certainty “Bryan!”. As always, the natural flow of life led the two families in different directions, and it was on a whirlwind, chance meeting that Bryan and Talya met again as adults. Destiny being what it is, their connection was instant, undeniable and is being fulfilled as we sit here today … in great anticipation of what promises to be a beautiful wedding and joining of lives next September! Guys … your story, and the other ones like it are what make me fall in love with this job again and again. I hope these pictures will heighten what is already the most exciting time of your lives! All my love, Claire xxx
