Jeni & Rune’s Humanist Wedding on the Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond
Jeni and Rune are quite unusual names, so you won’t be surprised to learn that their wedding was pretty unusual too. Brought together by a love of music, Jeni had studied Scandinavia as part of her degree, so when she met Rune, who’s from that part of the world, she was quick to tell him that … Continue Reading
Allyson & Martyn’s Humanist Wedding in The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
Meet Martyn and Allyson! From Leicestershire and the Eastern Seaboard of the USA respectively, they’re a pair of seasoned world travellers who as they put it in their ceremony, ‘cancelled out each other’s effect on the planet’, before discovering and deciding to live in Edinburgh, where one of the places they grew to love was … Continue Reading
Wendy & John’s Humanist Wedding on Yellowcraigs Beach, East Lothian
I said in my last post that I was about to conduct a wedding on a beach – well this is it! Sometimes you get lucky with the weather in Scotland, and John and Wendy certainly did. Most of their friends had come up from England, and they’d never been to a Humanist wedding before. … Continue Reading
Fee and Richard’s Humanist Wedding on the beach at Orocco Pier
We had such an amazing day and everyone commented on how special our ceremony was. In fact most people have said it’s the best wedding they have ever been to! I think the barometer for success is also that at least three different people asked for your details for their wedding/funeral(!)/naming ceremony!
Kate & Mark’s Humanist Wedding Ceremony at Broxmouth Park, Dunbar
There’s something about this photograph that makes me think of 60’s TV series like ‘The Avengers’, or ‘Man From Uncle’. Maybe it’s the haircuts. Or the strange costumes. Or the location – a rather spectacular country house not too far from Edinburgh, called Broxmouth Park. It was my first visit and I hope I have … Continue Reading
Fran and And’s Humanist Wedding in Fran’s Parents’ Garden in The Borders
Fran and And first got in touch with me last August; they’d wanted to marry in Fran’s parents’ garden and that led them to stumble across the HSS website. As they wrote at the time, “When we read a bit more about it, we both felt that the humanist values were very similar to our own … 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

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 I’ve done under threat of a thunder storm. Unlike most couples, they chose to arrive together, which was a nice … Continue Reading
