FAQ's
Below is a few common questions I come across related to Wedding Photography. Hopefully you might find the answers to some of your questions here. If you need further clarification, please don't hesitate to ask.
How do I check your availability or book you for my wedding?
Just send an e-mail to info@amargmedia.com
or give me a call/text on 07904857510 (Amar)
If we are available and you want to book, we normally ask for your e-mail address & mobile and send you a link to our information, provide quotes, affordable prices and bespoke services.
What type of Weddings do you cover?
We cover all faiths, Sikh, Hindu, English and Pakistani, Muslim, Arab, Bengali and Indian Weddings. Amar G Media has a great deal of experience in all weddings and will ensure your wedding is covered to a high standard
How would you describe your style?
I have a relaxed approach. Very friendly and always listening to my clients throughout. I observe how the day unfolds and capture moments as they happen, whilst taking more control wen it comes to the structured shoots
What Locations do you cover?
We cover Nationwide and International.
A majority of my clients are from Reading, Slough, Hayes, Maidenhead, Marlow, Southall, Illford, London and Harrow. However, it doesn't stop there, and I cover Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Bucks.
What do I receive as the final media product?
You would receive the Photography or Wedding film on USB, as recorded delivery, fully edited. Further information would be provided at consultation
Are you really an affordable photographer?
Yes I believe I am. Having been in the wedding industry for many years, I understand that weddings are very costly, and try to give my clients the best possible photography package at very affordable prices.
Do you have Back-Up equipment
Absolutely. Whatever I am using on the day, I have backs ups to replicate camera, Lenses and Flash
How much is it to secure our date and book?
Typically, we request 50% of the total quote required to secure your date/s with AmarGMedia. Our payment details will be provided once you are happy with our quotation and services provided. Your date/ booking is not secure until a deposit is paid. The booking fee/deposit is deducted from the overall cost of your chosen wedding package.
When is the remaining balance due to be paid?
Your final balance for your wedding film is due 14 days before your wedding date, but you can pay at any time before this or even on the wedding day itself.
What form of payments are accepted?
Our preferred method of payment is via Bank Transfer. Our bank details will be on the invoice and email communication.
How long have you been a wedding Photographer?
I have been shooting Photography and Video for over 10years now. So I am very experienced in All Faith Weddings such as Sikh, Indian, Hindu, Muslim, English and Bengali Weddings.
Over the years, I have developed a strong set of skills to ensure the client receives a quality media product
How long will you be at my Wedding?
Once we discuss your requirements and contract is sent out, these will be the times I will be shooting for. However, I do arrive slightly earlier to set up and can be a little flexible on the finish time by 30-40mins without charging overtime
How many weddings do you shoot a year?
I only book one wedding in one day. I always do my best to ensure I am present and this keeps the quality consistent.
On rare occasions, where a situation has presented itself where I have 2 weddings booked, I send my team, who are very experienced as I have trained them myself over the years.
But overall, I am more comfortable with giving my full attention to 1 Client - 1 Event
What happens after we book?
The moment you book with us, you can relax. You are now covered for your media requirements and our client care from start to end will provide you with a stress free experience with us. We will e-mail you a few weeks before your wedding requesting an itinerary, or additional requirements you may have, or changes on your event/s. Our advice is free, so please make use of any opportunity to ask us anything you may be unsure. As wedding media experts, we have the knowledge and experience to give advice and information.
Do you charge for travelling?
Typically, we factor any travel into the quote beforehand, and do our best not to add any additional costs towards you. However, we may have to charge, if the event is out of Greater London, or for other forms of transport such as flights and accommodation if we need to stay over. All this information, again, is clearly stated on our quote.
When will my wedding photography & film be ready?
Our turn around time for Photography is typically 1 month, and the wedding film can be between 2 to 4 months, depending on the scale of the film edit and if the event is during wedding season.
Have you worked at my Venue before or is this important?
Having shot in a variety of venues already through the years, it really comes down to 2 factors. Getting the posing right between the couple and using the right lighting techniques.
So it doesn't matter where we would be, as it will look good regardless if I have been there or not.
When will my wedding trailer/ highlight film be ready?
We aim to get trailers and highlight videos completed a few weeks after your wedding. When your trailer/ highlight film is ready we will send you a link to it.
Highlight trailers are sometimes included in larger wedding packages, or charged separately for small events
How long will my finished wedding film be?
Typically, the wedding film can be between 90 -120 mins long. This depends on the days events and can vary in times
What cameras do you use?
Our main cameras are Canon & Sony DSLR’s, as they are small & discrete and more importantly produce excellent cinematic HD 1080p image quality. We use a three camera setup to capture all the key points of your day (ceremony, entrance, speeches & first dance).
Do you film in HD (High Definition)?
We always film in 1080p HD as it produces the best results.
Online trailers/ highlight videos will be uploaded online in a streamable HD format.
We provide all media on USB
How many Photographers will be at my wedding?
Based on my experience, I would advise you what your team setup should be according to your requirements, in order to get the appropriate coverage, and the costs associated with the team involved. Amar G Media only works with professionals who have experience, so there are no issues with the quality of the media.
How do you Shoot/Film?
We try to be as discrete as possible. We don’t want you or your guests feeling uncomfortable or awkward, we want you to be comfortable, happy and relaxed.
Can you cover pre Wedding Events?
If i am available, and i can quote as part of the package, then the pre Event can be covered. However, I usually reserve myself for weddings, and may send my team to cover the pre event if it fell on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
How many images do we receive?
The number of images shot is dependent on how busy it is on the day., so its hard to pin down. But roughly, for example, a Sikh wedding Ceremony and Reception would be around 1500+, all edited. Small pre events are around 300+
What are the usage rights?
Once I deliver the media to you, you can do what you wish with it. For Amar G Media, we would have full rights to use any image we deem appropriate, for our marketing and promotional purposes.
Can you recommend other Wedding Suppliers?
I have worked with many suppliers over the years, and I have shortlisted professional and competent people in various wedding supplier categories.
Can we meet you beforehand?
Absolutely. I tend to do consultations which are around 1hour. This gives enough time to get all the questions and queries answered as full as possible.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have professional business insurance including public liability, professional indemnity & equipment cover.
Where are you based and do you travel abroad?
I am based in Burnham, near Slough/Windsor. I factor in all travel charges to all my quotes so no need to worry there. But I do charge sparely if the work involves travelling abroad for pre-shoots or weddings
Is this your best price, would you “price match” this company or do a cheaper price?
We really try to give you our best quote.
As this is your wedding day, we provide affordable and highly competitive quotes. Whatever price you book us for, you have the assurance, you will be looked after from start to end, and expect a quality media product.
