Taking a moment to celebrate my own wedding anniversary today!

23 years of growing up together, building a family, navigating change, holding on through hard times, celebrating beautiful ones, and creating a life with our children firmly at the heart of all we’ve done.

And now, we’re stepping into something new: the empty nester chapter.

People talk a lot about this stage in terms of loss — the quiet house, the shifting routines, the realization that parenting no longer sits at the very centre of every day. And while there’s definitely emotion in that, what I feel most strongly is gratitude.

Gratitude that somewhere amongst all the years of being Mum and Dad, we didn’t lose us.
Gratitude that after all this time, when I look at Darren I still think ‘you’re the person I want beside me for this part too’

There’s something really special about realizing your marriage was never only about raising children together, but about continuing to grow a life and a connection that lasts beyond that role.

And it feels especially meaningful that today, on our anniversary, I’ll be officiating a wedding for another couple just beginning their own story. A reminder that marriage isn’t built in the big moments alone, but in years of choosing one another through every version of life.

Some lives continue speaking long after they end.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of leading a celebration of life for Harry — believed to be the world’s oldest instrument maker — who died at the age of 102.

After a successful career as a professional musician, Harry turned his remarkable talent toward handcrafting replica baroque oboes. His instruments found their way into the hands of acclaimed musicians around the world, each one carefully shaped, tuned, and finished by hand. Even at 102, he was still fulfilling orders from his workshop in his home.

Today’s gathering was a quiet and deeply personal one — just his wife of 67 years, his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson — ahead of a larger celebration still to come.

We sat together in his home, surrounded by the things he loved most. We shared stories, listened to his music, and simply held space to reflect on all that he was, and all that he leaves behind.

One of the things I love most about this work is the way it quietly connects me to lives I would never otherwise have known. Not just names and dates, but the stories threaded through them — the passions people devote themselves to, the things they build slowly over decades, the marks they leave in places they may never even see.

Harry’s story is one of craftsmanship, discipline, artistry, and extraordinary longevity.
And somewhere, in concert halls and rehearsal rooms across the world, his work will continue to be heard.

2013 - first day of school
2026 - last day of school
Somehow, the years in between have gone by so very quickly. But they’ve done their job in shaping that curious, funny, headstrong little boy into the incredible young man who is heading to school for the last time today. I cried that first day, knowing I had to let him step into the world and I’m crying today having watched how he’s embraced it - fully and confidently. Love you endlessly

A wedding on May 4th is only ever going to go one way! 😂
Gloria and Warren were married this morning at one of my favourite spots, Preachers Rock. They looked incredible and their vows were beautiful, but my favourite moment was when Warren put his Darth Vader helmet on! Perfectly appropriate! 😂
Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Stephens. May the force always be with you!

A venue visit with a difference! 🐴

Tucked away near Canton, GA is Little Bit Farm — a small, rustic horse farm which is lovingly run by Adele who is now offering the grounds of her home for elopements and micro weddings. It’s not a big, ‘polished’ venue, but it offers so much for couples seeking something more intimate and a little different. Here your wedding might include:
– a ceremony in a shady pasture, with horses wandering nearby
– dinner cooked for you by Adele, outdoors, over an open fire
– your evening ending around a fire pit, rather than a dancefloor
There are also two on site cozy cabins for getting ready and then spending the night.
I came away feeling that a wedding here would feel like a relaxing retreat! Perfect for couples looking for a space for their wedding that is simple but intentional.
If this sounds like the sort of wedding experience you would like, give them a follow and feel free to reach out to me for more details.farm

It’s the little things couples do that quietly shape a small business like mine. The things that don’t cost anything but mean so much.

The past few months have been beautifully full — not just with wedding days, but with all the moments that lead up to them.

Lots of planning meetings that shape a ceremony. Managing a full inbox of new inquiries! Writing love stories and vows.

So I’m a little behind in sharing some of the beautiful ceremonies I’m blessed to be a part of.

But now that galleries are coming in, I get to revisit them and this one still has me smiling!

It was a ceremony that felt relaxed, joyful, and completely them! I think their smiles say it all!

Share this with someone who loves the idea of an intimate ceremony!

So proud of my boy! Each school in our county nominates one Senior who embodies the ‘spirit and fortitude’ of the graduating class and Matt was nominated for JCHS. This is the video they made of him!

Most people think they know what a funeral feels like — until they experience something different.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of leading a celebration of life for a 27-year-old — a young man who passed far too soon but who was so deeply loved. As an avid golf fan, holding this celebration at was especially fitting.

Afterwards, a few people took the time to share with me that they had never experienced anything quite like it before and how very ‘him’ and how comforting it was. They told me they were more familiar with traditional funerals — services held in churches or funeral homes, with a structure and sense of ritual that, of course, feels comforting and grounding in its own way for many people.

What they were telling me was that what they experienced simply felt… different.

A celebration of life doesn’t take anything away from the weight of loss, just as a traditional funeral doesn’t either. Both hold grief with care. But a celebration of life often creates space alongside that grief for the person themselves — their story, their relationships, and the details that made them who they were, shared in a way that feels personal and recognisable.

These ceremonies often take place after a private burial or cremation, which means they don’t include a physical presence, and because of that they can be held almost anywhere. That flexibility allows the setting, the tone, and the words to be shaped around the life being remembered in a way that feels right for that individual and their family.

Part of my role is to gently guide families through that process — helping to shape the structure, offering ideas, and creating something that feels both meaningful and manageable at a time when everything can feel overwhelming.

It isn’t about one being better than the other, but about finding the kind of ceremony that feels most fitting. And yesterday was a beautiful reminder of just how meaningful that can be.
