And this is why I love what I do! ❤️

Every now and then, a message comes along that reminds you exactly why you chose the job you did. 🥹

After being part of so many of this bride’s family weddings over the years, to receive this message from her after recently getting engaged is so special…

“Oh my goodness!! I’m so happy you have availability. I’ve dreamed of a day you would marry me because you are excellent at what you do.” ❤️

This is more than just a job. It’s a privilege to be part of people’s stories, their biggest moments, and their most precious memories. And messages like this remind me just how lucky I am to do what I do. 🥰💍

If you'd like a ceremony which is personal, meaningful, and one your guests will truly remember, I'd love to hear from you! 💕

Emily & Graham | Earls Hall Castle💗

Their story began while they were both working at Strathallan, although they rarely crossed paths. It wasn't until Graham left to start his own business that an Instagram message turned into regular conversations, a wonderful friendship and eventually a love story.

From a surprise proposal in Mallorca to saying "I do" at the beautiful Earls Hall Castle, it was such a privilege to be part of their day. It was also my first ceremony at this stunning venue and I hope it won't be my last!

Thank you both for trusting me to tell your story. Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness together. 🤍

If you're looking for a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful and one your guests will truly remember, I'd love to hear from you. 💌

Rachael & Joe - Harburn Barn, West Calder 💒

Rachael and Joe's story began back in 2014 at Heriot-Watt University, where they met while studying Chemistry. Friends first, their romance blossomed in 2017 and, after one particularly fun (and slightly tipsy) night out, Rachael decided enough was enough, prompting Joe to make things official!

Since then, they've built a wonderful life together, with trips to Paris, Rome and Florence, and buying their first home in Livingston. In July 2023, Joe proposed on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. Two weeks later, their dog Sid joined the family, and in December 2024 they welcomed their daughter, Lily.

If you're looking for a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful and truly reflects you as a couple, get in touch. 💌

One of the loveliest parts of my job is working with people from all over the world, getting to experience different cultural wedding traditions and the incredible outfits that come with them.

I was truly honoured to be part of Rachel and Jinsu's wedding at Carberry Tower in Musselburgh recently. Jinsu is from South Korea, and his sister and mum looked absolutely beautiful in their traditional outfits.

My diary is open for 2027 and 2028, so if you'd like a ceremony that your guests will remember, please get in touch. 💞

Rachel & Jinsu | Carberry Tower, Musselburgh

It was my absolute pleasure to be back at this beautiful venue for Rachel and Jinsu's wedding. 😊

This couple's story starts with a coin. Rachel's dad, Peter, found a Korean coin hidden inside a piece of oil rig machinery, just days before he was unexpectedly offered a job in South Korea.

That small moment set off a chain of events that eventually led Rachel to Korea herself, where she met Jinsu on her very first night there.

Despite what Rachel describes as a very questionable moustache, she was smitten with Jinsu. The two talked all night, moved seats so they could sit together, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Five years later, Jinsu proposed on a rooftop in Malta while they watched the sunset. Rachel said yes, and the strangers around them burst into applause.

What an honour it was to be part of Rachel and Jinsu's wedding. Thank you for having me. 🫶

Amy & Ryan | Radstone Hotel, Larkhall

What a privilege to celebrate Amy and Ryan's wedding day. 🫶

The couple's story started on Tinder in 2018 with a first date that nearly didn't happen, cocktails at TGI Fridays, and an instant connection.

Fast forward through holidays, house moves, and two beautiful daughters (Ayla and Rhia), to Ryan pulling off the ultimate ruse for his proposal: a fake "work prize", with his mum in on the secret, and a stay at Mar Hall. Amy arrived in her gym gear, none the wiser, until the roses gave it away!

Now a family of four, they're building the life they always dreamed of.

Thank you again, Amy and Ryan, for letting me be part of such a spectacular day! 💞

One of my favourite parts of what I do is staying in touch with couples after their wedding day.💗

At Denis and Eilidh's wedding, I had the lovely surprise of catching up with two other couples I previously had the privilege of marrying, Joe and Karen, and Mark and Lauren.

It’s always so special to bump into couples again, hear what they’ve been up to and see where life has taken them since their ceremony. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of so many love stories!✨
