Every wedding needs a good opening sentence, and Tom and Emma didn’t disappoint. “Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Seton Collegiate Church for this very rare and special occasion – the marriage of a Town Planner to an Architect!” High school sweethearts who stay together forever are pretty rare these days, but Tom and Emma have … Continue Reading

Outdoor Weddings – No Longer Hell On Heels
Yes, it’s wonderful to be in the great alfresco, but I’m sure many ladies get that sinking feeling when they get their invitation to your outdoor wedding.

My New Portrait
Rhona and Paul are getting married at the beautiful Amisfield Walled Garden in Haddington this August in August, and they kindly sent me a snap of their wedding cake topper: an uncanny resemblance wouldn’t you say?
