Adeline and Andy are getting married in the England's beautiful Cotswolds. For their engagement photos, photographer Ann-Kathrin Koch suggested they play tourist for the day and visit some of the little villages in the Cotswolds. Adeline and Andy decided to take it a step further by donning big plushy bear heads as they acted like tourists, standing out from everyone else in the area. "It was the best idea ever," said Koch. "Firstly, it really gave the whole going-on-a-trip idea a fun twist and they got a lot of great reactions from people. But mostly, we had so much fun with the heads! The two of them could not stop giggling and laughing once they put their heads on, which made my job rather easy. And staring into those big surprised bear eyes, I couldn't take it seriously for long, either."
