Cheeky elopements. The best.

And the beauty of having an expert team at a fabulous venue with a small group of your favourite humans?

Flexibility!

Niamh and Ross had their hearts set on a ceremony out on the lawn at overlooking the Bay. But the weather gods had other ideas.

Not a problem with this team at the helm!

Between , and myself we ensured that N & R had the ceremony they had dreamed of - particularly having travelled all the way from Ireland to celebrate - and they exchanged the legals under the terrace eaves before strolling onto the lawn when the weather broke to sign the paperwork and declare them married once more!!

A travel photo primarily aimed at completely embarrassing our three boys (mission accomplished!) 🤭

On the tail end of our crazy 6 week Euro adventure, so I promise the holiday spamming will come to an end (soon!!)

Catch ups and chats planned for the next two weeks with some of the lovely enquiries I’ve received whilst travelling - I look forward to hearing all your plans.

A full calendar of weddings for most August weekends leading into a fab wedding season ahead!

If you’d like to chat please reach out and we’ll schedule a time for next week.

For now I’m going to keep soaking up this 32 degree Portugal sunshine! ☀️
(sorry, not sorry) 🥰

For now - Adeus! 👋

“Do you deliver funerals?”

I am asked this question often, to which the response is a resounding yes.

The next question is usually, how do you do it?

The honour of creating and delivering a persons celebration of life, funeral or memorial service is absolutely the most fulfilling, rewarding and yes, emotional role I could have imagined.

To assist a family in honouring their loved ones celebration, is a position I feel very privileged to fulfill, and despite the enormous sadness and loss that loved ones endure, to be able to create a loving, engaging and memorable service and help families through such an emotional and difficult time is incredibly rewarding.

To those families who have engaged me to look after their loved ones farewells, many thanks and much love.

❤️❤️

I remember this moment so clearly. Arriving at for gorgeous Aimee & Jake’s ceremony and hearing the giggles and shrieks from these five darlings as the excitement grew!

A & J engaged the BEST team to look after them, and this of course is reflected in the most amazing relaxed and fun photos of their day.

I remember giving Aimee a huge big squeeze and giggling along with the girls, their joy was contagious!

This day has very fond memories 🌸

I was so thrilled when Em & Brett first contacted me regarding their ceremony plans. Particularly that their ceremony was to be held at my secondary school chapel and that Em’s beautiful Mum was my art teacher once upon a time!

Their gorgeous day was so full of sentimentality, tradition, love, family ties and sweetness. I loved meeting E & B and their beautiful guests and adored listening to Em surprise Brett post-ceremony by singing him a song in the gardens whilst their guests enjoyed post ceremony bevvies!!

Congratulations once again Mr and Mrs Tyler- Hellyer!! ❤️

The signing!! During or after your ceremony it’s a quick and easy part of your ceremony that can also be fun! Have a witness raffle, put a star under a seat to choose your witnesses, or have your Nanny and Pop sign….. however you decide to incorporate the signing of your certificates it can be a fantastic way to breathe, smile and soak up the fact you are finally married!!!

The paperwork bit doesn’t have to be boring!

Thankyou for capturing the scribbles!

“……. Thank you for being part of our special day.
We knew you were going to be the perfect vibe for us and we were right!

You helped to calm our nerves and brought a wonderful positive vibe to our ceremony.
It’s like you were telling our love story having been along side us the whole way!

Thank you also for being patient and reassuring with our daughter, it was so important to us to have her part of our ceremony ❤️…. ”

Isn’t this just the cutest little man!!

Involving your little ones (in whatever capacity they decide on the day!!) is the best!! Claps and giggles abound - sometimes the kids are the stars of the show but that just makes it all the more special!

Favourite summer spot! Toes in the sand & telling love stories at the wonderful !!

Nat & Dave’s tales were fun. As was their magical team and fabulous celebration!!

Glad you loved it too N & D!

“…….Hi Emma,

We wanted to say thank you for everything you did for us. From our first meeting with you, your accommodating nature given our distance at the time, the advice and support every step of the way made the process so much easier and enjoyable for us. One the day, knowing you were across everything was so reassuring and calming. We loved the ceremony, having helped put it together we knew what was coming but your touch and delivery made it all the more special. So many of our guests said similar things, all commenting how good you were and how much you added to the day…..”

“………Emma!

Where do we even begin, you were absolutely INCREDIBLE. Our ceremony was everything we wanted, we got so many compliments about how the ceremony was so “US”. What more could we want! Thank you again for bringing your warm, fuzzy energy into our day, it was just perfection.

And we LOVE our key rings!!!

Lots of love,
Jem and Chels xx “

Still wish this celebration was yet to be on my calendar! Had such a wonderful time planning this incredible day with Jem & Chels - would be so happy to do it all again!!!

Neil and Liv first saw me in action at Neil’s best friends ceremony and I was so delighted when they contacted me years later to enquire!

Particularly that they were hosting their celebration at the magical with capturing all the moments.

Loved their indoor ceremony space, their stunning florals and their short sweet but heartfelt fun.

It was a pleasure to “marry” you both Mr and Mrs Herbu!!

Many thanks to for sharing this incredible album with me - I am always so grateful to photographers when they send me their magic!!! ✨

Witness Raffle!!
So we all know you need two people to witness your certificates at your ceremony…. and that can sometime a be a tough decision to make!

So many of my couples have incorporated a witness raffle into their ceremony plans - taking the decision out of their hands!

It’s fun, it’s an element of surprise and the “Woop Woop” of delight from the crowd when the guest names are chosen is all worth it!!

Greg and Verity included all sorts of gorgeous surprises into their ceremony plans….. and the story behind why we were choosing the witness names out of a trophy can be saved for another day!! 🏆

“……..Oh my gosh Emma..

My HUSBAND and I are literally still in awe of your presence at our ceremony on Friday!!!!!

We could not have asked for a more warm, articulate, quick-witted, animated, organised, exuberant person to marry us 💍❤️

Adam felt so calm and relaxed with you being there pre-ceremony, and the ceremony itself set the tone for the most incredible day of our lives!

We are so so so thankful we had you there and cannot express how magical you made our day 🥰 thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!

There wasn’t a person in attendance who didn’t comment on how much they enjoyed our ceremony (let’s be real, these things can be boring at times hahaha), and we will absolutely be recommending you to anyone and everyone
who gets engaged anytime soon 😏

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts 🥰

So much love,

Adam and Georgia!!….”
