Its great when couples really embrace the freedom of expression that a humanist wedding offers. Robert and Kirsty totally got that idea, and I loved the way they told their story at their winter wedding at West on the Green. “When Robert and Kirsty met, it quickly became clear that Robert had – and continues to have … 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
Grant and Natasa’s Humanist Wedding at The Secret Herb Garden
We continue to receive nothing but compliments about just how wonderful our wedding and in particular the ceremony was.
Scott and Chris’s Humanist Wedding in the Garden of their Home
Chris and Scott’s wedding was very special to me, not just because we’ve been neighbours for almost 20 years, but much more importantly, because they’ve been together for 25!

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!

Anne and Wullie’s Humanist Wedding at Eskmills Venue
Anne and Wullie’s wedding was memorable for lots of reasons, and not just because they were my FIRST EVER Tinder wedding!

He’s still convinced that Anne drove past a few times to … Continue Reading
Becky and Jim’s Humanist Wedding at The Caves
Jim and Becky are actors: it’s almost three years since I conducted their wedding at The Caves, and I’ve been itching to write about it ever since because the way they chose to open it was so original! First of all, they chose not to go up onto the stage, like everyone else. They wanted to marry … Continue Reading
