Naomi and Lee’s wedding
12 months prior to their beautiful wedding, I helped Naomi and Lee honour their little boy Jack, who died when he was 3 weeks old. Together, we created a memorial service known as “Jack’s picnic’.

It was a true privilege to stand beside them on one of the happiest days of their lives.
