Most people agree that marriage these days is an equal partnership between a woman and a man, but traditions die hard, and every so often a bride tells me that father wants to ‘give her away’ to her groom. This can be tricky, but Joanne came up with a clever solution that respected her dad, … Continue Reading

Joanne & Alan’s Humanist Wedding at The Caves in Edinburgh

Katy & Beej’s Humanist Wedding at The Atrium Restaurant in Edinburgh
Everyone but everyone wants to get married at 2.30 pm on a Saturday afternoon, which means of course that the venues have you over a barrel and can charge a premium. 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

Unlike most couples, they chose to arrive together, which … Continue Reading

Sharon & Marc’s Humanist Wedding at The Caves in Edinburgh
I love this photograph, which looks more like a rock concert than a wedding. It looks very dramatic, although Marc & Sharon’s wedding was actually very low key, intimate and affeccting. When I arrived, looking for the groom, I found him with his bride and their three children, Yasmine, Zak & one year old Dylan, … Continue Reading

Doug & Beth’s Humanist Wedding at The Bruntsfield Hotel
A lovely portrait of the beautiful bride from photographer and family friend, Ian Cameron. One of the reasons Doug gave for loving her was that, “Beth is the most gorgeous girl in the world and she still won’t take his word for it.” Maybe she will now. Doug’s sister, Jenny gave us a reading from … Continue Reading
