I loved this Christmas couples photography session so much. And it actually produced one of my favourite images of 2022! The couples portrait, from a session in Covent Garden<\/a>, is the first one below. This lovely couple were on holiday in London just before Christmas. And\u00a0we got a fantastic\u00a0selection of photographs of them wandering around Covent Garden. They were such a great couple and I thought the colourful, cobbled street matched their fun personalities (and colourful clothes) perfectly!<\/p>\n

I know Covent Garden really well and it\u2019s one of my favourite locations for my London photography sessions. It\u2019s full of charm and quirky side streets, and so many\u00a0interesting backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Christmas couples photography in Neals Yard<\/h2>\n

We began our London couples photography session in Neals Yard<\/a>, a colourful little courtyard full of restaurants and caf\u00e9s. It\u2019s fairly tucked away, and is often a lovely surprise for the families or couples I\u2019m photographing.<\/p>\n

After this we made our way along Shelton Street to another of my favourite backdrops in Covent Garden, a bright yellow shop called Grosvenor Prints<\/a>. As well as providing a wonderfully fun background, the shop is also one of the few remaining shops dealing in antique books and prints.<\/p>\n

Fun portraits with red telephone boxes!<\/h2>\n

We then found a row of red\u00a0telephone boxes which looked great in some more couples portraits. After this we took several photos alongside\u00a0the magnificent columns of the Royal Opera House<\/a> and we then made our way to the Apple Market<\/a> in the heart of Covent Garden. Here you can find a wide range of market stalls, offering unique handmade crafts and goods. You can also find some distinctive green columns, which look great in family and couples portraits.<\/p>\n

A festive couples photography session<\/h2>\n

We ended this wonderful London couples photography session with a festive feel. The beautifully decorated Christmas trees next to the market provided a perfect Christmassy background, and we also found a lovely shop nearby decorated with candy canes and a bright red sleigh.\u00a0I enjoyed spending time with this lovely couple so much and was really happy with the variety of images from our session.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re visiting Covent Garden and would like your own set of fabulous professional photographs, please do get in touch. And to see more of my work, please take a look at my website here London Family Photographer<\/a><\/p>\n
