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.
“How to make your special day glam, gorgeous and green.”
This rather nice book just dropped through my letterbox. And I’m delighted that MyWeddingStory is one of only three photographers featured for the entire country.Actually I’m slightly less delighted than I could be.

Full answerFireworks at Leeds Castle
I love this time of year. Dawn’s pretty late (which allows me to get on the beach for portrait sessions), there’s great colour in the trees and most of all there are fireworks!

New prices - now starting from under £600

We call it choice. Oh, and album packages now start at £595. That got your attention.

Full answerTrash 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….
The idea is simple, you don’t really need that dress any more so you may as well take it out and get it dirty on a photoshoot. It’s [...]
Civil partnership and gay wedding photography
And now….new from MyWeddingStory - civil partnership and gay wedding photography.
Except it’s not new. Not even slightly. In fact we photographed one of the first civil partnerships to take place in Kent on the Christmas Eve 2005. [The Civil Partnership Act became law on 5th December 2005 but since that was the first day you [...]
