“I’m Hannah, the Celebrant who conducted Gemma & Emily’s wedding in Wales. They have just shared the photos with me and they are so beautiful. Honestly, they are my favourite set of wedding pictures that I have ever seen. Really. You just captured how beautiful the day was & how stunning the girls are - and just the lighting and colours and composition and everything was just so spot on. If I ever get married I am calling you.

I don’t normally send emails like this to people, so know that I mean it and that it’s not hyperbole!!”

Hannah, celebrant
