Questions, questions...

This page attempts to answer some of the common questions people ask me.

Of course if your question isn't answered here or if you just want a chat then please get in touch - contact details are on the right hand side of this page.

By far the most common questions are "Are you available for my date?" and "How much do you charge?" - you can click on either of those questions to get answers. Another good question is "how do I make a booking?" - see the "what next" page.

Trash the dress - MyWeddingStory style (no dress trashing required)

There’s a fashion going around. It’s called “Trash the Dress” or “Rock the Dress” or something similar. We’ve even heard of one company calling it “Dirty Bride” shoots….

Planning your wedding - time to call the pros?

I go to a lot of weddings. Probably more in a month than most people go to in a year. And they are all joyous occasions - really there hasn’t been a single one that I didn’t love attending. But some of them went more smoothly than others.

For my own wedding I decided to elope [...]
