Worried you might cry when you speak your vows? Carla was…

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 … Continue Reading

Abigail and Ryan’s Humanist Wedding at The Signet Library

I loved telling the unlikely story of how the China Doll and the Boy with Black Pudding in his Teeth met, went to see ‘I Love You, Phillip Morris’ and eventually fell in love.

The ceremony was definitely our favourite part of the day: so many guests said how lovely it was and how well you delivered it. It was all down to the prep you made us do, and writing it ourselves really did make it feel so special and personal. 

Jac and Simon’s Humanist Wedding at The Principal Charlotte

Every so often I’m sent a set of photos that make me smile from ear to ear. This is one of them, so all credit to Puddle Lane Photography for capturing the joy!  Jac and Simon’s wedding was at The Principal Charlotte Square, better known to old Edinburgh folk as ‘The Roxburghe’, but barely a week … Continue Reading

Ashley and Jackie’s Humanist Wedding at Marlin’s Wynd

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen my version of this photo about a month ago! Ashley looked lovely, but I could tell she was a bit nervous. Marlin’s Wynd isn’t just one of Edinburgh’s cutest venues: it’s also one of its oldest. Just off the Cowgate, and tucked into the side of … Continue Reading

Last Minute Rehearsals, or How To Negotiate the Dress!

Even if we’ve already had a formal rehearsal, I always make a point of having a word with the bridal party in the half hour before the wedding. It’s a chance to settle last minute nerves, and most importantly give some advice about how to ‘negotiate the dress’.At the rehearsal, brides are almost invariably wearing … Continue Reading

    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

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

Karen & Richard’s Humanist Wedding at Swanston Brasserie

  I love this photo, because Richard and Karen are clearly smiling and kissing at the same time: it just sums up their ceremony, which was great fun, from start to finish!     Richard and Karen first met at at Alicante airport when Karen was pretending to be ‘Vhari’ the hyperactive taxi driver who’d been … Continue Reading
