My grandad who is a very religious man and strongly disapproved of our premarital cohabitation told us that he thought the ceremony was perfect which is high praise indeed!

Katie and Ross’s Humanist Wedding at The Signet Library
You gave us everything we wanted from a celebrant, and we loved every minute of it!
Homework 2.0
One of the more enjoyable parts of my job as a celebrant is reading homework, because that’s where couples really open up about themselves to me for the first time. But April – who’s getting married to Greg later this year – thought outside the box, and she created a slideshow compiled from all the … Continue Reading
TY in B&W
There’s something timeless about black and white photography, and it seems to be making a bit of a comeback, if my three most recent thank-you cards are anything to go by. Kyle was the best man at the wedding of Russell and Sarah at The Royal Scots Club back in July. He and Jen got in … Continue Reading
Jenna and Jonathan’s Humanist Wedding at The Royal College of Physicians
So many people have come up to us and said it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to and they couldn’t believe how personal it was.

Antisocial Media?
When you got engaged, did you post your happy news on Facebook? Do you share the highs and lows of your private life on twitter? As so many of us share the intimate details of our lives online, there are bound to be times that somebody oversteps the line. More and more often recently, I’ve … Continue Reading
Lindsay & Nigel’s Humanist Wedding at The Atrium, Edinburgh
The Atrium is a stunning venue and photographer Ross Barber must have arrived a lot earlier than I did to catch this great shot. Nigel’s two daughters, Ellie and Robyn were the flower girls, and in a really nice touch, when they came in, he went down the aisle to take them both by the … 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
