WE DO! Your Wedding Your Way
It’s wonderfully informative, but so light hearted and easy to read.
Melissa and Paul’s Humanist Wedding at Melville Castle
Paul and Melissa’s wedding was full of love and laughter, which makes this ‘pre-wedding’ shot of Melissa and her dad all the more poignant: Rose and Alastair Burns Murdoch really do know how to capture those all-important moments! Melissa and Paul put a lot of thought into their ceremony, and it really paid off, as … Continue Reading
Barbara and Michael’s Humanist Wedding at The Caves
Do you know the song, ‘The Book of Love’? Peter Gabriel’s version is here* and the lyrics were an important inspiration to Michael and Barbara when they created their ceremony in far-off Chicago.

Laura and Anthony’s Humanist Wedding at The Principal Edinburgh

Shona and Simon’s Humanist Wedding at the National Museum of Scotland
No limousine could be more appropriate for a French/Scottish wedding than a Citroën Traction Avant! First produced in 1934, they’re still très chic today. My couples meet in all sorts of interesting ways, but Shona and Simon’s was truly a first: they were brought together by their daughters, Amy and Sophie. Best friends at school, they schemed to … Continue Reading
The wedding of Megan and Stephen wedding at Carlowrie Castle
I love this photo of Carlowrie Castle: it really does look like the setting for a fairy tale, and that is a good description of the story of Megan and Stephen, which began when their eyes met over an Übungsheft in their higher German class at Beath High School. Stephen was the class joker, and one … Continue Reading
Scottish Government Remembrance Day Ceremony 2018
Should the poppy continue to be the flower of remembrance, or should we allow it, once again, to be the flower of forgetfulness?
