This lot like a laugh. One of the very best.

Here is a shot that my friend Rachel captured of me writing some notes.

My notepad is usually bigger and much more messy. Sometimes I struggle to read my own writing but I always manage it and make sure that I get every bit of detail right.

A particularly difficult ceremony for a beautiful young lady. She has left the best memories and many broken hearts. We told her story with love and gratitude ❤️

Being back today for E&B made me remember another awesome day for E&S last year! All three of us ladies have the same name too! 😍

This was very nice to receive and confirmation that taking a step back from weddings next year to concentrate on funeral work (and have weekends with my family) is the right decision.

I wish I could do it all but I would need a 9 day week and no one wants that!

2024 books are open for a limited number of bespoke weddings.

It’s always an honour to help a family with a funeral service and so lovely to receive kind words like this. ❤️

What a delight! We had an amazing time on Saturday for B&L with their sweet girls as bridesmaids. ❤️

Thank you for the kind words! 🤩

How fabulous to have a visit from these two beauties as they headed to their anniversary trip away a few weeks ago!

Wonderful to hear that their AMAZING photographer is currently busy capturing the action at Wimbledon! 🎾 🍓 Go Anne!!

Fantastic to be at Kimbridge Barn today for J&P’s big day.

Really lovely venue which popped with stunning styling in the May sunshine…more photos to follow soon!

A very handsome couple had their perfect ceremony today and were over the moon with their venue 🥰

Wow, haven’t posted since Easter…it’s been BUSY!

💫 There has been a lot of smiling recently as I meet with couples for their wedding rehearsals ahead of their big day.

💫 Getting in the space and finalising everything really gives a feel of how it will be on the day and it all gets very exciting.

💫 I’ve also had the honour of helping scores of families with funeral ceremonies over the last few months. I’ve heard some amazing tales of war time heroics, phenomenal parents and incredible musicians. What a privilege.

HAPPY EASTER!

The sun is shining and I’m wishing for every wedding I lead this year to have great weather!

I’m spending the Easter weekend writing and delivering funeral ceremonies for some amazing people who will be so missed. ❤️

Then a couple of days off with my family for Easter egg hunts and chocolate eating before some more wedding planning next week with S&H for their September festival bonanza!

Is this or is this not the most CHILLED bridal flat lay?

💫 Yeah, just give me some spritz and my sunnies.

💫 Such a brilliant wedding!!

You might think this awesome photo tells you all you need to know about E&B’s wedding - SPOILER - it doesn’t!

💫 Remembering this day of pure joy last year makes me want to cry with happiness.

Absolutely loving these images of the gorgeous Sopley Mill.

💫 I am always so glad when photographers take the time to really capture the atmosphere and set up.

💫 These shots showcase the venue brilliantly!

💫 Always a delight to be here and this wedding was very special 😍

💫 Dorset and the surrounding counties have so many fantastic venues, I’m hoping to be able to share more great photos of the ones I work at this year.

WEBCAST - These kind words came in from family members watching their loved one’s funeral remotely last week.

💫 Webcasts have enabled family and friends to be able to watch funerals pre, during and post pandemic.

💫 They are a brilliant idea for families spread far and wide: both in the UK and abroad.

💫 Your Funeral Director gives you a link to share with those unable to be there in person so they can join us.

💫 It is great to know that they can see and hear everything well, which is so important.

💫 A clear voice is very helpful for a and something that I am definitely blessed with! (I did get called ‘loud’ a lot as a child but it is very helpful now!)

💫 It was a great privilege to help with this ceremony for a family with a great sense of humour, who created the perfect send off for their dear J.

Scout was front and centre ensuring the smooth running of her Mummy and Daddy’s wedding ceremony!

💫 I love getting pups involved at weddings, they are part of the family after all!

💫 Scout was the BEST good girl!

💫 Most venues allow dogs to attend the ceremony so get them involved!

💫 Ring bearer?

💫 Best dog?

A wonderful review from a lovely couple. Thank you! It was my absolute pleasure to lead this ceremony!

💫 With a celebrant you get to create your dream ceremony.

💫 I offer unlimited drafts until the script is perfect for you.

💫 Expertly delivered on the day - let’s wow your guests and give them a ceremony to remember!

💫 Full and unlimited support throughout. Because that’s what you deserve and nothing less.

💫 2023 and 2024 diaries now open.

💫 I get to work with some awesome couples. Aren’t I lucky?! 🥳

What a wedding! What a couple! What a setting!

💫 A more serious moment in what was a generally raucous ceremony for E&B last summer.

💫 I’m looking through photos thinking of happier times in the world than we are experiencing right now.

💫 This was a massive highlight of last summer’s season and I’m praying for peace and unity this summer too.

💫 Love wins.

Honoured to have been able to create an uplifting ceremony to pay tribute to an amazing lady ❤️

I’m deep into writing summer weddings and dreaming of more hot balmy days celebrating love.

From barns to hotels to beaches, country houses and fields, it’s all coming up this year and every one will be unique. ❤️🥳

A fab week of meeting with couples ahead of their summer weddings but also saying goodbye to three wonderful people who were very much loved.

One crematorium I visited had a little friend come to visit everybody and he flew around the service hall during the ceremony greeting everyone. Such a comfort as many people believe that when they see a robin, a loved one is near. 🪶

Here’s to more moments like this in 2022!

Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas! 🎄

It’s been a fantastic year being able to conduct so many fab weddings and an honour to help families bid farewell to their loved ones. Mixed emotions of sadness and joy as always in my privileged job!

I’m so looking forward to planning the many weddings coming up next and wish everyone all the best for 2022!!

Although a lot of my posts here are about the joy of weddings, most of my work is helping families say goodbye to their loved ones.

Yesterday we held a very special ceremony for a beloved husband and Daddy to six who was taken far too soon.

We placed wooden stars on his coffin during the ceremony for his young children to keep afterwards and read stories about the stars and what might happen when we die. The children believe that Daddy is now the brightest star in the sky.

I reached out to the wonderful celebrant community for guidance on how best to approach this ceremony and their kindness meant that we had the perfect ceremony for this amazing young man. Thank you 🙏🏼

Hold your loved ones a little bit longer this Christmas ❤️
