Weddings are often seen as a ‘girl’ thing, so this story told from the groom’s point of view is very special for lots of reasons. The words are from Ross: the atmospheric photos are by the gifted Suzanne Li. The walk down the aisle is normally reserved for the bride and her wedding party. … Continue Reading

Rick and Phillip’s Humanist Blessing Ceremony at The Caledonian Hotel
To say that our wedding day was the best day of our lives would be an understatement, said Rick and Phillip.
Ashley and Jamie’s Humanist Wedding at Balbirnie House
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin. Storytelling lies at the heart of my approach to weddings, and I love it when couples take up my suggestion that they invite their friends and family to help deliver their story. Jamie and Ashley did that brilliantly. Every single member of their Wedding … Continue Reading

Leanne and Greig’s Humanist Wedding at Carlowrie Castle
Leanne and Greig’s story is a very modern fairytale, so – if you’re sitting comfortably – I’ll begin… Greig first proposed to Leanne just three months after they met.

Ross and Rachael’s Humanist wedding at The Balmoral Hotel
Music is a big part of Rachael and Ross’s life. They first met in August 2011 when they boarded a bus with mutual friends to go to the music festival Creamfields, where they danced like idiots to Calvin Harris, (once Rachael had woken up!) So perhaps it wasn’t that much of a … Continue Reading

Zoë and Scott’s Humanist Wedding at The Balmoral Hotel
It’s not often I marry a teacher to a pupil, but that was how Zoë and Scott met, when Zoë was a final year medical student and Scott gave her extra teaching for her final exams. They kept in touch when Zoë went to Australia on her elective, and once back in the UK, she won Scott’s heart by plying … Continue Reading
