Jenni and Rich’s Humanist Wedding at Edinburgh Zoo
Some weddings were just meant to happen. How could a Birrell meet a Burrell and not fall in love? Jenni and Rich wrote a wonderful ceremony. It was short on story but big on meaning. As they said, “We have put a lot of thought into what marriage means to thus and we’ve had many … Continue Reading

Kevin and Kellie’s Humanist Wedding at Edinburgh Castle
I like to end the year on a high, and that’s exactly what Kellie and Kevin’s wedding delivered.
