## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q.What awards, if any, have you won for your photography?**

A. I have won many awards over the years. Awards includes: Wedding Photographer of the Year 1998, Alternative Wedding Photographer 1998 and East Midlands Master Photographer of the Year 1998. I have won many other similar awards for my work.  

**Q. How many photographers work for you?**

A. None! All the photography you see here on this site and all my samples which are freely available for you to view were taken by me. I have an assistant to help me with organising the wedding party and my equipment but that’s all.

**Q.We live outside of your immediate area – are you willing to travel and what costs are involved?**

A. I am more than happy to travel any distance for your wedding and in most cases this does not add any further expense. However, if it is a great distance we would agree a sensible fee to cover the cost of fuel and as on the odd occasion, overnight accommodation.

**Q. Do you belong to any governing bodies?**

A. Yes. I am currently an active member of The Master Photographers Association at Licentiate level. The association looks after the buying public as well as its members to ensure your are commissioning a competent photographer.

**Q. If we want to meet you to discuss our wedding, do we come to you or do you visit us?**

A. We have a purposely designed welcoming studio in Long Eaton where you can come and see a selection of my work in relaxed, comfortable surroundings without the usual distractions.
