Nicola & Justin’s Humanist Wedding at Carlowrie Castle
This is the story of what happened when Cleopatra met a guy in a Christmas jumper.
Joanne and Phil’s Humanist Wedding at Orocco Pier
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 […]
Jill and Chris’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair
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 […]
Abigail and Ryan’s Humanist Wedding at The Signet Library
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 […]
Sharon and James’s Humanist Wedding at Edinburgh Castle

My first concern was that they might not have enough time to get the Home Office to approve their visa, but luckily, the wheels […]
Victoria and David’s Humanist Wedding at Carlowrie Castle
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 […]
Lola & Sean’s Humanist Wedding at Norton House Hotel
“I don’t really know what to say except hello with jazz hands” that’s how Sean introduced himself to Lola on Zoosk. After walking past each other several times while nervously waiting to meet for their first date, dinner at Chiquito’s was followed by a walk in the rain under a pink umbrella around a long-abandoned […]
Susanne and Mark’s February Edinburgh Wedding
Nele and Neils’ Humanist Wedding at Carlowrie Castle
I first met Neil and Nele not long after my book was published. They were among the very first people to read it, so I was very touched to see this sign when I arrived to conduct their fun-filled, imaginative and very emotional ceremony at Carlowrie Castle. Most Scottish castles are rattling with antiques of […]
