When I first met Natasha and Jesse (and Natasha’s absolutely adorable mum, Carol) I though these 2 are a real-life brunette Cinderella + Prince Charming. While Natasha and Jesse planned from afar (they were living in Africa), Carol and I had a lovely long distance time sending samples, taking photos and skype-ing our way to a perfectly planned New Years Eve Fete. For starters, how gorgeous are these two? Secondly, their engagement story is one i tell every time someone asks me: “What’s the best engagement story you’ve ever heard”. And third, I couldn’t help but visit them the morning after the wedding on January 1st for a lovely new Years Day brunch – they really were that lovely. As well as planning, I was lucky enough to beautify Natasha on her big day with a gorgeous loose but formal updo and elegant + timeless makeup. Shot by the absolutely lovely Rebecca Wood (http://www.rebeccawoodphotography.com/) here is a snapshot of their romantic day.
Enjoy
