the full monty
Most celebrants come from backgrounds in teaching, HR, or public speaking. I come from storytelling. As a photographer and writer, I’ve spent years noticing the small things that make people who they are: the shared jokes, the tiny details that somehow say everything. That’s what I bring to your ceremony.
When you fill in my questionnaire about how you met, what makes you laugh, or what you love most about each other, I genuinely enjoy every answer. I’m probably the only celebrant who gets excited reading six paragraphs about the first time you accidentally got locked out of your BnB together in the rain.
I’m not just gathering information, I’m listening for the shape of your story and the details that make it unmistakably yours. The script I write isn’t a template with your names dropped in. It’s a carefully crafted piece of writing, designed to draw your guests in, make them laugh, move them a little, and leave them feeling like they know you both even better.
I offer a fully personalised ceremony, with all elements tailored to match your own vision and style. I will guide you on readings, personal vows and choosing unique ceremony elements. For ultimate peace of mind, a rehearsal on a mutually agreed day prior to the ceremony can be arranged. I will put an inclusive quote together based on your requirements.

💕 I am very happy to travel far from home. We can discuss reasonable additional travel and accommodation costs for this.
The style and tone of your ceremony are completely yours to choose. Whether you envision something light-hearted and playful, deeply heartfelt and meaningful, romantically sincere, or a unique blend of all these elements, we’ll collaborate closely to craft a ceremony that truly reflects who you are as a couple. Together, we’ll create a celebration that feels perfectly personal and unforgettable.
