Frequently Asked Questions

Hi
I'm Roger Skilton, Amante Weddings photographer.

These are some of the most asked questions

Do you travel ? Yes
We cover all East Anglia, Cambridgeshire, Herts,Beds,Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex, but we do travel further

How long do you stay?
coverage is usually all day from getting ready to first dance, although we will stay longer for special events.

Who will photograph our wedding?
I am the photographer and will be responsible for the photography on the day.
I will also help you select your images at the viewing stage.

We want a contemporary look but our parents would like some traditional posed photos, can you do both ? Yes
It's a great combination, I shoot mostly in a low key contemporary style and will be more than happy to shoot some classic images for you.

Do you shoot group and formal photos ? Yes

We usually find that couples want to have a selection of family groups.
I will discuss your exact requirements and suggest family groupings which
can normally be achieved in about 20 minutes or so. A wedding is often the only occasion when the whole family and all your friends are gathered together and dressed up, so this is an ideal time to get group photos of you with family and friends.

Do we get all the photos and do you retouch or enhance the pictures?

Your album or print photos will look fantastic. All images are individually assessed, blinks, blurs, duplicates, test or metering shots etc, are deleted, as are any that are less than top quality. Your proof images will be just about in their original state. When you choose your album photos or prints then thats when the magic happens, they will then be retouched, cropped, color balanced and enhanced to make wonderful appealing flattering images.

How many shots do you take ?
enough, because we shoot digital people assume we take the 'scatter gun' approach. Well, we don't, our photos are taken with your album in mind, recording your day as it happens, this will usually result in a proof album of 300 - 450 images.

What if it rains ?

Sometimes it does rain, this is part of your day so we photograph everything, although we always have portable lighting on hand to enable us to photograph indoors.

What if I book now, will the price increase? No

The price is set when you book, so if you book now you will only pay the current price.

Can I book online ? Sorry not at the moment. But I can take credit card payments by phone.

Can we see prints and buy our photos online ? Yes

You will have a password protected gallery to view your photos and family /guests can order prints online for shipping worldwide.

Can I pay in installments yes

What if I'm not keen on having my photo taken

Getting you relaxed for your photographs is part of what we do, have fun its your wedding day!!
If you have a pre wedding shoot then that is an ideal time for us to get to know each other, or when you are having getting ready photos with your bridesmaids and family, either way don't worry, we know what to do.
