♥️🥂 How can it be a year?🥂♥️

One year ago I had the pleasure of conducting the most memorable and meaningful wedding ceremony of my career at the fabulous Dartmouth House in Mayfair Dartmouth House Weddings

Don't get me wrong - all the wedding ceremonies I deliver are special. But this particular ceremony was for my daughter Siobhán and my now son-in-law Ollie so the emotion and excitement was off the charts

Such a special day with a gorgeous couple and a host of loving and supportive friends and family. I even managed to organise a surprise during the ceremony when everyone whipped out cut outs of Freddie & Pebble - their beloved cats 😻😻

These pics (taken by the brilliant photographer J. OATEN PHOTOGRAPHER FILMMAKER) captured the day perfectly

So, happy first anniversary Siobhán and Ollie. Wishing you a life together full of love and adventure 💃♥️🕺

💮🌹 Kind words 🌹💮

Such a lovely message to receive

It's always a bittersweet moment to watch your couple walk back down the aisle and to know your job is done

Getting to know each of my wedding couples is an important part of my process and it's wonderful to hear that they have enjoyed working with me

My process is fun and collaborative and is an essential ingredient in pulling together a magical, meaningful wedding ceremony

💮🌹Wild and wuthering outdoor Yorkshire wedding🌹💮

We look a little windswept (well, I do) but Preena and Rob's dream of having an outdoor wedding at the fabulous Ponden Mill Weddings in Brontë country, West Yorkshire became a reality today

Grey skies and rain failed to dampen spirits as we gathered under a gazebo with the couple's brilliant bunch of family and friends

This fusion wedding celebrated not just their love and commitment but also their diverse cultural heritages - Indian, British and Danish

This was a ceremony to remember - full of colour, some traditional rituals (including a 'phera' fire ceremony) and lots of love and laughter throughout

Great to work with Heather • Yorkshire wedding photographer and videographer and all the great staff at Ponden Mill 💮🌹💮

Lovely words to receive

Yesterday I had the privilege of conducting the funeral ceremony for a larger-than-life and much loved father, grandfather and friend

He was described as clever, charismatic and he was kind even when things got difficult for him. His story was not always an easy or straightforward one but he found joy in his family and his music

It was a privilege to help tell Eugene's story at Burnley Crematorium yesterday and good to work with Andrew and team at Funerals

🎉✨👶 What a year for these two 👶✨🎉

Twelve months ago on this day I had the pleasure of conducting a surprise wedding ceremony for
Lissy Moore and Cem

It was such a joy to get to know them and help craft a ceremony that paid respectful tribute to Cem's Turkish heritage, as well as involving a lot of interaction with a great bunch of family and friends

The photo above - taken by the fab Sandra Reddin l CREATIVE WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER - really captures the fun, relaxed vibe of the day

And, the icing on the cake for 2026, in April they welcomed their first child. So now there are three ...

Happy first anniversary - and huge congratulations to this new family. Wishing you lots of adventures together 👶✨🎉

🔥🌸 Fusion wedding fire 🌸🔥

One of the brilliant things about having a celebrant conduct your wedding is that you can celebrate not just your love and commitment but also your cultural backgrounds

Fusion weddings can include respectful versions of cultural wedding traditions and rituals which help to create meaningful, magical and memorable wedding ceremonies

For Preena and Rob's upcoming wedding at in Brontë country, West Yorkshire, we're including the gifting of a coconut, a garland exchange, and a version of the Hindu fire ceremony. This involves the couple making four circles around a sacred flame while making their promises

Can't wait... 🔥♥️🔥

🥂✨ Happy first anniversary Josie & Lucas! ✨🥂

How time flies - how is it a year since Josie and Lucas's outdoor wedding at in York?

It was a privilege to be part of such a lovely group of family and friends who had gathered from the UK and Australia - all wishing nothing but joy to this committed couple

This is one of my favourite photos from the ceremony - the look between them as they exchanged rings. Beautifully captured by the talented ✨

🎊 Kind words 🎊

The naming day ceremony we put together for Joni was such a joy to conduct and it's so lovely to know that the family got so much out of it too

Named after Joni Mitchell, this Joni is already showing signs of her namesake's talent and is a regular songbird

Joni is a very lucky little girl to have such a loving community of friends and three generations of family in her corner

Gathering together to mark an important addition to a family is very special and reaffirms something special: that the loving bonds that connect us are worth celebrating

If you'd like to know more, then get in touch 🥳

🫧 A day of family, friendship & fun 🫧

near Haworth in West Yorkshire was the setting for little Joni's naming ceremony last weekend

While the sun disappeared, it didn't rain - yay! So we could hold the ceremony outside with the dramatic Brontë countryside as our backdrop

A communal pledge to Joni was made by her 'village', two guide parents were appointed and colourful ribbons were tied onto an embroidered hoop by three generations of family - a lovely keepsake for Joni

As she was named after the celebrated singer songwriter Joni Mitchell, we ended the ceremony by listening to The Circle Game - a heartfelt reflection on growing up

What a great day. Joni is a very lucky little girl to be surrounded by such a loving community of family and friends ❤️
