Debbie Munro Celebrant
I’m Debbie, an independent celebrant, serial happy-cryer and firm believer that your ceremony should never be the boring bit people sit through to get to the prosecco.
Whether you’re planning a big confetti explosion of a wedding, a cosy “just us and a handful of mates” do, or something delightfully quirky that your nan will talk about for years, I’m here to help you celebrate it your way.
I’ll get to know you, dig out those little stories that make your relationship unique, and weave them into a ceremony that’s warm, fun and full of personality. Think less “stuffy script”, more “your love story with better lighting”.
When I’m not writing ceremonies, you’ll usually find me chatting to dogs at weddings, rescuing smudged mascara with tissues, or trying not to well up before you do.
If you’d like a ceremony that feels like you (with just the right mix of romance and giggles), I’d love to chat.
Wedding & Elopement Photography by Skaiste Klaniute
I photograph weddings in a way that feels natural, romantic, and quietly cinematic. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, allowing you to be fully present while I document the real moments as they unfold—the glances, the laughter, the emotion you didn’t even notice in the moment. Inspired by fashion, film, and wild, beautiful landscapes, my work blends an editorial eye with honest storytelling. Whether your day takes place in the countryside, along a dramatic coastline, or somewhere far from home, I focus on capturing your connection in a way that feels effortless, timeless, and true to you. Images that feel lived-in, emotional, and full of atmosphere—meant to be felt just as much as they’re seen.

FROM NEWBORN TO NEWLY-WED AND ALL THOSE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN
Since my sixth birthday, when I received the gift of an instamatic camera, I have been hooked on photography and its ability to freeze moments in time. Growing up in beautiful Malawi - the Warm Heart of Africa - gave me a great deal of inspiration and many photographic opportunities. I have had an interest in photography ever since, a passion that has grown, over time.
I am an experienced artistic photographer and have been lucky enough to have photographed a great number of special occasions and events - weddings, baptisms and parties, as well as every day moments, for a number of extraordinary people.
I love to work with natural light, and prefer unposed, candid shots, which really capture the 'essence' of the person. I feel honoured and so very lucky to have been entrusted with this mission, unobtrusively telling your unique stories.
My photographs are artistic and have a narr…
