Secret weddings are hard to organise! I first met Sarah and Richard in June and they told me that they wanted their ceremony to be the surprise element of their housewarming party, so it was crucial that word didn’t get out. My lips were sealed… The new home came with Richard’s new job: they were […]
said, We could not have been more pleased by the way the day went. The ceremony itself was perfect in the sense that it reflected our feelings towards each other and allowed us to share those with the people who mean so much to us. We had so many people come […]

Alison recently sent me this clip of her wedding to Bob last summer: I love it, not just because I’m largely out of shot, but mostly because it really does capture something of the relaxed and intimate atmosphere of the day. Thanks Alison!
I always enjoy a story where love triumphs over adversity, and Caroline & Bruce’s story is a cracker! Childhood sweethearts at a highland boarding school, they were apart for 26 years before they met – and fell in love all over again. They had an intimate ceremony for close family only in a marquee in […]
