be inspired...

Enjoy the stories of couples who got married in Scotland and whose ceremonies I had the pleasure to conduct. Find out what inspired them to choose their location, how we worked together, and how the ceremonies unfolded… While some weddings are kept private in accordance with a couple’s wishes—which I always fully respect—I’m very grateful to those who have agreed to share their experience, from the lead-up to the big day itself. Follow the links to their stories and immerse yourself in their wedding tales. I hope you’ll find inspiration—and perhaps a sense of whether I might be the right celebrant for you.
