Mansfield Traquair is a stunning setting for a wedding, and I’ve never seen a shot that captures its magical atmosphere better than this one, from Richard and Emma.

Iona & Nigel’s Humanist Wedding at Harburn House
Iona and Nigel hardly used any of the material they’d shared in their homework at all. Instead, they wrote something entirely new, that was just as honest, open, funny and moving, but in a very different way.
Humanist Weddings – They’re a Guy Thing…
OK I lied. Weddings really aren’t a guy thing.Men don’t grow up in The Cinderella Complex.We don’t lie in bed at the age of nine thinking, “One day, when I get married, I’m going to wear…”Or even, “One day, when I get married, all the table favours are going to match my team’s football strip.” … Continue Reading

Katy & Jerome’s Humanist wedding at Gorton House in Midlothian
Katy & Jerome met four years ago in Canada when they were both on an exchange – Katy from Scotland and Jerome from Australia, and as they said in their ceremony, they were both expecting to meet new people have fun and see another part of the world, but not to fall in love, so … Continue Reading

Fee and Richard’s Humanist Wedding on the beach at Orocco Pier
We had such an amazing day and everyone commented on how special our ceremony was. In fact most people have said it’s the best wedding they have ever been to! I think the barometer for success is also that at least three different people asked for your details for their wedding/funeral(!)/naming ceremony!
Victoria & WIll’s Humanist Wedding at Balbirnie Castle
Victoria and Will’s wedding was a very international affair. They met while working in Japan, and their guests came all the way from Alaska at one end of the world and New Zealand at the other to join in a very happy and joyous ceremony. This was the first time that I’ve ever had a … Continue Reading
