Secret weddings are hard to organise! I first met Sarah and Richard in June and they told me that they wanted their ceremony to be the surprise element of their housewarming party, so it was crucial that word didn’t get out. My lips were sealed… The new home came with Richard’s new job: they were […]
Tim brought our wedding to life and allowed us to share our day with our family.
This has to be the best chat up ever. Phil: ‘Would you like to come to the Bruce Springsteen gig with me?’ Joanne: ‘I’d love to but you’ll never get tickets!’ Phil: ‘Don’t worry: I know someone in the band…’ You’d never guess Phil was an Irishman would you? Sure, the craic was great at […]
One of the advantages of a destination wedding is that your guests are with you for several days, so there’s a lot less pressure and everyone is really relaxed. Another is that you may have the time to do what Greg and Kirsten did, which was to shoot a lot of photos for your album before […]
Just look at Mansfield Traquair. Could it be more calm and tranquil? Little did Jill and Chris know what was to come. If they had, then these placards might have had alternative captions. ‘Last chance to run – here come Harry and Grace!’ it all began so well. The acoustics were perfect for the voices […]
I really love it when people tell me they love my book, WE DO!

I don’t usually post photos from the prep, but these candid snaps by Ricky Baillie are too good not to share! David (above) is Abigail’s mum Nicola’s partner and an old friend from my years in advertising. If I remember correctly, he was the person who suggested to Abigail that she contact me about her […]
I’m delighted by Vicky Allan’s article about ‘WE DO!’ in today’s Sunday Herald! My thanks to all the couples who are featured in it: Eli and Kate, Elizabeth and Bengtis, Natasa and Grant, and in the headline – but sadly not the article itself – the originators of ‘Until death or zombies do us part’, Kellie […]
Weddings don’t get more intimate than this… James and Sharon hail from British Columbia, and they contacted me in March of this year about their wedding at the Castle in May. My first concern was that they might not have enough time to get the Home Office to approve their visa, but luckily, the wheels […]
I love it when a photograph just sums up a whole day. This great shot by Sean Bell does exactly that for David and Victoria’s wedding at the stunning Carlowrie Castle. As is now ‘the new normal’, David and Victoria met online – but only just. David’s initial subscription to Match.com was coming to an […]
