Everyone Can Marry? [My Thoughts]
18/04/12 Filed in: My Thoughts
We all should be able to get married gay or straight!
When I started my company I didn’t use my own name (Dimopoulos), as it doesn’t roll of the tongue very well. So I came up with the name My Love Story. It made sense to me as I was telling stories of couples love and connection with one another.
I was horrified to see in this day and age on BBC Question Time that we are even having the debate that homosexual people should be allowed to marry like heterosexual people! Of course they should. Why should we confuse and complicate things by having different terminology for when two people come together to elope just because of their sexual preference. We don’t for people with different colour skin because it would simply be wrong. The same goes in this case. It scares me that we live in a so called “developed nation” but it takes us so long to implement what I see as basic human rights.
When naming my company it never crossed my mind to call it My Straight Love Story or My Gay Love Story.
Marriage is Marriage
Love is Love

Vintage Wedding Fair York Hall
12/04/12 Filed in: Fayres | Fairs
Recently I got commissioned by Becky Hoh-Hale from A Most Curious Party to photography their Vintage Wedding Fair at York Hall. Here are a few of the photos.
What Becky Said :-)
“These lookin friggin' amazing Alex - oh my gosh, so captured the day and so clean and crisp. Such a 'pure' quality to them. Love them! Need to have a proper look through but that was my first reaction and wanted to say thank you, thank you thank you. Absolutely makes it all worth it when you see it all altogether like that.
Feel like I'm talking about my actual wedding pics!”

Why I do what I do?
It’s always a good question to ask. Evaluating what you do can make you appreciate how far you have come and see where you can improve.
When you get messages like the one below from a bride you know you are doing something right!
“Just wanted to send a quick text as we wait to fly out :-) thank u sooo much for being a part of our day and helping to make it one we will never forget. I/we couldn't have asked for a better person to capture those moments! Look forward to seeing you and the product of your hard work when we get back. Big x”

I’m looking forward to photographing Tom & Linzi’s wedding at Warwick House at the end of this month. Last month I took their portraits on an engagement shoot at Coombe Abbey. It has 500 acres of parkland and we were lucky to catch the warmest day of the year so far. Enjoy!
