Seton Collegiate Church is one of my favourite places to conduct a wedding, not least because Lesley Peebles-Brown who looks after it for Historic Scotland is such a calming and reassuring presence. David and Rosa chose it because it’s not far from Edinburgh where they live and it’s also close to North Berwick, one of […]

Carolyn and NIgel’s Humanist Wedding at Seton Collegiate Church
I’m just going to let Carolyn write this post: you’ll see why when you get to the end. Two months have passed since our amazing wedding at Seton Collegiate and what an amazing 2 months we have had. First off, our wedding was perfect, in every way. The weather was fantastic, what a turn around from […]
Leigh & Gregor’s Humanist Wedding on Inchcolm Island
I always look forward to getting photos and cards from the couples I marry, telling me what made their day so special, but this is one I will never forget! Leigh and Gregor chose their wedding date because it was 16 years to the day since they met. As they said in their ceremony, “Home, […]
Sally and Ali’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair
One of the joys of my job is that I bump into people I’ve married in the most unlikely places. With Ali and Sally, it was in the supermarket, a good eight months after the event. What made it even stranger was that I’d shared a lift in the very same supermarket the previous evening […]
Kirsty and Euan’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair
Phoebe Anna Traquair’s exquisite frescoes glittered in the early autumn sunlight as Euan and Kirsty tied the knot, just nine years after their first meeting in a tiny Perthshire village. Kirsty looked stunning as she came up the extremely long aisle with her mother, who gave her away. (Fabulous dress, btw!) Their friend Lauren told us the […]
Met in a Palace, Live in a Castle and Married in an Abbey…
As Kate and William’s celebrations were coming to a climax at Westminster this morning, I was en route to Dumfries and Galloway to conduct a wedding for another couple, who as one of their guests told me, had “met in a palace, live in a castle and were now about to get married in an […]
Emma & Richard’s Humanist Wedding at Mansfield Traquair
Mansfield Traquair is a stunning setting for a wedding, and I’ve never seen a shot that captures its magical atmosphere better than this one, from Richard and Emma. Here’s what Emma wrote when she sent me these great shots. I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so so much for […]
Becky & Adam’s Humanist Wedding on Inchcolm Island
I had a nice surprise at the Edinburgh Volunteer Fair yesterday where I bumped into Adam who’s now working with a local charity and he reminded me that he and Becky had sent me some pics from their wedding last year that I had completely forgotten to post – which is a shame because it […]
Carol & Craig’s Humanist Wedding at Glencorse Kirk
I really enjoyed working with Carol and Craig, who created a wonderful and very moving ceremony and sent me this lovely testimonial. “I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for helping make our wedding day so unique and memorable. From the minute I walked down the aisle I could tell that you’d ‘warmed the crowd’ […]
