The Atrium is a stunning venue and photographer Ross Barber must have arrived a lot earlier than I did to catch this great shot. Nigel’s two daughters, Ellie and Robyn were the flower girls, and in a really nice touch, when they came in, he went down the aisle to take them both by the … Continue Reading

Lina and Tony’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair Edinburgh
Thank you very much in being part of our special day we really had a fantastic time and the ceremony was perfect, everybody was really touched by it.
Lina and Tony’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair Edinburgh
As I often say when I’m explaining what makes a Humanist ceremony different, Humanists believe that there are more things that unite humanity, rather than divide it, and the greatest of these is love. Lina and Tony’s wedding was a textbook example. I think Lina’s dad looked really cool in his kilt. Lina and Tony … Continue Reading
Gillian and Neil’s Humanist Wedding at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
On a good day, there are few more beautiful settings for an outdoor wedding than among the Redwood trees at the Botanics. And these photos, by Kerry & Nick Steyn, capture it brilliantly. Gillian and Neil were in two minds about what kind of wedding to have: something small and discreet or a big celebration … Continue Reading

I think more people should copy Katy and Beej’s example and marry on a Monday, when even a top restaurant, like The Atrium will … Continue Reading

Camille & Virginia’s Humanist Wedding in the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh
Camille & Virginia’s wedding wasn’t the first outdoor wedding that I’ve conducted half in French and half in English, and it wasn’t the first I’ve done in the Botanics either, but it was the first time I’ve done it under threat from an imminent thunder storm. Unlike most couples, they chose to arrive together, which … Continue Reading
