10 Reasons To Have A Humanist Wedding
10 Reasons To Have A Humanist Wedding!
Humanist weddings are a wonderful way to celebrate the love between two people.
They are designed to be highly personal and meaningful, as they focus on you the couple, and your commitment to each other rather than all the official hoo-haa of that of a civil wedding.
Check out my top ten reasons as to why YOU should have your own humanist wedding ceremony…
- Celebrate your love and commitment to each other in a meaningful way.
- Create a wedding ceremony that is personally meaningful to you and your partner.
- Make your wedding ceremony reflective of your own values, beliefs, and traditions.
- Design a ceremony that is relevant to your life and relationship.
- Celebrate your wedding with unique and creative elements that reflect your personal style.
- Create a ceremony that can be shared with family and friends.
- Enjoy a ceremony that is free from religious doctrines or dogma.
- Celebrate your day without the need to adhere to predetermined rules or rituals.

There are so many amazing places that you can venture into.
Camley Street Natural Park is adjacent to the canal too where we got to take some action shots as we call them. I learn very fast in my career as a photographer that moments come naturally.
