They met through work and a deep rooted friendship grew from a slightly unusual conversation about pants. Yes, literally, pants. From colleagues to friends, from friends to falling in love…it was at a Christmas work party in 2006 after drinking, dancing and Barry’s phone getting run over by a dodgem that they finally realised the depths of their feelings for one another and they’ve not looked back. I couldn’t help but laugh when Barry told me that one of the first times they spent any real time together was when Natasha had cooked a ‘dreadful’ meal for him and his colleagues ..she admits that her ‘French Bread Pizza’ was hardly a triumph but was rather upset to find him picking tomato off the top of her carefully made master piece. That said, Barry cannot deny that this quiet, beautiful, girl that made him laugh so much was worth eating a few bad meals for….though he adds that the quality of her cooking has never improved! Following a starlit proposal by the Pantheon in Rome, Natasha agreed to the honour of being Barry’s wife and they cosied up in a piazza cafe to relish the wonderful prospect of a lifetime together. Natasha and Barry’s wedding had a special significance for me as I have had the pleasure of knowing them for some years. I’ve enjoyed evenings out with them and have seen first hand how great they are together so to document such a magical day in their lives was truly a HUGE honour. Here are a selection of images from their gorgeous day at Marwell Hotel, Winchester. Enjoy!
