This is entirely down to you; however, just like a flash sale, all the good things go first! So make sure you don’t miss out if you are certain you want to book me, inform me! Please remember dates cannot be secured without the retainer. I am currently booking a max of 2 years in advance. I regularly turn away enquires due to the date already being booked so its best to book sooner rather than later.

I mainly cover Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and London. However, I am available throughout the UK.

There may be an travel fee if your wedding is 50+ miles from Norwich.
The rate of travel expenses is proscribed by HMRC and is enforced at my discretion.

I would love to photograph your destination wedding. The wedding package is the same however due to extra expenses the price for this package is £1900

There will also be expenses such as, and not limited to: flights, accommodation (3-day minimum stay) and car hire.

The first day I arrive, I will visit the venue/s. The second day will be the day of the wedding. And the third day will be spent backing up your images. I will always arrive in the morning and leave in the evening.

Yes, of course. I am insured with Hiscox. This covers: Public Liability, Indemnity, Personal accident, hire cover, UK cover, 90 Days EU cover, breakdown and in-vehicle cover.

I have been a photographer since 2010. I started by second shooting weddings with other leading wedding photographers then started my own business whilst at University. During this time I have gained my BA (HONS) in Photography and priceless experience within the industry.

Good question! As I also work commercially in the fashion industry I choose to keep the different genres of my photography separate! This is due to the fashion industry being a little fickle and also because the difference in my work is quite vast.

Alas, this is where the business name of Faye Amare came from. I choose this name as Faye is my middle name, which also means faithful and is French in origin. Amare comes from the Latin word for love, both together mean faithful love.

I would describe my style as creatively candid with a fresh light approach, I try to be as discreet as possible so I can capture your day as it happens, while creatively making your photos as beautiful as possible

Of course, not all of my weddings are on the website. Some couples request that images are not shared publicly, and others I have special permission to share only with clients. Just ask and I will link you to a few other galleries.

You can choose to have a Skype or face to face consult, or both if you wish. These consultations roughly take 45 minutes.

Consults include but are not limited to the following...
- Your photography expectations
- Products and packages I offer
- An introduction
- Overlook of the contract
- Questions you may have
- Your wedding expectations and plans
- Signing of contract (if you wish to book)

Yes, I am apart of AOP (Association of Photographers) and Photographers United. Photographers United Pro and the Wedding and Photojournalism Assoitation.

I try to make the whole experience as fun as possible as you probably already know little ones attention span is probably is only going to last more than a few minutes before they become disinterest so there are ways to keep them entertained enough to keep them on board, ill email you with tips in your booking confirmation. And if all else fails bribery and small snacks work wonders!

The majority of my lifestyle sessions are done in a location of your choice. However, I do hold mini studio days these are usually 2-3 times a year for special occasions such as mothers day, fathers day and Christmas. Studio days are held in Norwich close to the city centre.

usually within 2-4 weeks depending on the season. During wedding season (April to October times can be extended due to demand) but I will do everything to get your photos to you as quickly as I can.

For a 1-hour family lifestyle shoot, you can expect 20+ images

For a studio mini session, you can expect 5+ images to be delivered

PLEASE NOTE: I never give an actual number as it completely depends on how many great images we capture. the more great images I take the more I deliver.

Don't worry I will be more than happy to rearrange your shoot if the weather is bad, however, if the weather isn't too bad and you are happy to brave the elements then grab your wellies, raincoats and umbrellas and we can have fun jumping in puddles and embracing the great British weather!

Yes! gift cards are available for purchase, drop me an email and ill send you more information. Gift cards can be purchased from as little as £10.00

I am based in Norwich, Norfolk. I mainly cover Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and London for Family and lifestyle shoots.

usually within 2-4 weeks depending on the season. During wedding season (April to October times can be extended due to demand) but I will do everything to get your photos to you as quickly as I can.

You will receive an online gallery with your engagement photos where you can download, order prints and share your photos.

if you have booked your wedding photography with me these photos will also be included on your USB.

Yes, of course, I also have a list of locations I highly recommend if you are struggling with ideas.

These are usually held within Norfolk however I am happy to travel to you, but please note there may be a travel fee this will be discussed with you.

Here are some tips if you are unsure about what to wear, it’s a good idea to look at Pinterest and see what others have worn for their engagement shoots. Try and dress for the occasion, I recommend dressing smart/casual to smart as this will look better for in the photos. If you are concerned about your outfit choices please contact me.

- Dress smart/casual or smart, try to dress as stylish as possible but within your own taste. It’s a good idea to consider the location you have chosen; will it look good in the location you are shooting in?

- Avoid wearing, trainers, tracksuits or activewear, sunglasses or transition lenses. Unless the shoot specifically calls for it.

- Make sure your outfits work together and don’t clash, never wear matching outfits. it’s a good idea to stick with a colour scheme that will also look great at your chosen location.

- Please wear suitable and bring a change of footwear just in case.

I offer only one wedding package; this is to keep it nice and simple and to get your images to you as quickly as possible. Albums are available to be purchased separately. And prints can be ordered directly through your gallery.

I don’t restrict this package into hours worked, every wedding is different and in some cases, they may overrun. Rest assured that I would cover from bridal prep to half an hour after the first dance. However please note if I have a double wedding weekend I may give you a time of which I must leave.

A flat fee of £400 is required when booking to secure your date. The retainer is due once booked, please note your date cannot be secured without it.

A retainer and deposit are two legally different types of payment. A retainer is a fee paid in advance to someone or a business in order to secure their services for use when required. In terms of Faye Amare Photography, this covers expenses such as administration, travel, location scouting, consultations, online gallery and mobile app, gifting, stocking fee and your pre-wedding shoot, and is therefore deemed a fair and reasonable fee within the law to keep to cover the expenses incurred.

Unfortunately no, I would love too but get hundreds of emails about dates and I cannot turn away another wedding unless the date is secured with the retainer.

Two weeks before the wedding date.

Please note if payment is not met by the payment date, then the sneak peeks and preview gallery will be delayed until full payment has been received.

Yes… and no! I’ll explain below

Recommend a Friend Offer
Yes, if you recommend a friend and they choose to book their wedding day with Faye Amare Photography you will both receive 10% off your photography package price. This could save you both over £100. T&C’s apply

I may offer a discount at wedding shows. However, due to high demand, the retainer would be required to secure your date and discount. Show offers are strictly valid for 24 hours after a wedding show.

Unfortunately, I do not offer a weekday discount, as it does not cost me any less than a weekend wedding.

Unfortunately, I am not able to offer a discount during peak season, however, I do offer a 20% discount for out of season wedding dates.

Peak Season: April – October
Out of Season: November – March

This is the last chance to book in your engagement session and venue visit if you haven’t already done so. (Please note during peak season I will only be available on weekdays and some Sundays due to the nature of my work)

Engagement shoot
I will be attending one of the most important days of your life and it is vital for us to be comfortable in each others company. Your engagement shoot will help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera on the big day and trust me its not as scary as you think!

Thankfully I have never been in this position. However, there is a procedure in place if such instances were to occur. We have a great network of photographers within Norfolk and around the UK, In the event of my illness; I would refer to find an associate photographer to shoot your day for me, however, if you would prefer I can place a referral and find available options with a similar style/price point to mine. It would then be up to you to choose who you wish to rebook. Any payments made will be returned in the event of cancellation due to illness.

Yes please, I will have worked an entire day on just my breakfast, we photographers get hungry and tired too, so it will be much appreciated if I could have a hot meal. Please seat me in a quiet corner preferably near a plug so I can backup all your images while I’m eating. Two birds, one stone and all that! Also, if you have booked a videographer it’s a good idea to seat us together so we can discuss the next plan of action.

Allergies: Fish and seafood

You will need to correspond with me and your venue please feel free to cc me into any communication to arrange your venue visit.

Please note most venue visits will take place during the week due to our availability, I do have weekend dates available but these are few and far between.

In some cases, it may be best to do your venue visit and engagement shoot on the same day.

I usually arrive when the bride is having her hair done; this gives me a couple of hours to photograph the preparation. But we will discuss this prior to your wedding day and details will be on your pre-wedding questionnaire.

I try to work as discreetly as possible, this way I get to capture the real candid moments that happen on the day. However there are instances such as the confetti shot, group shots, and couples shots where I need to be in on the action, I will help direct you and your guests to get the best shot.

Yes, I bring 2 or more DSLR bodies to every wedding, plus multiple lenses, cards, batteries, gadgets and gizmos. All neatly packed into my roller case. This helps prevent any problems if there is a technical fault.

I will ask that no pictures be taken during the ceremony; this is so that all your guests can be fully present with you at this most important time. This also avoids any situations where someone may be in my way or blocking my view. I will make the wedding conductor aware of this and they will announce this before the entrance of the bridal party.

In the situation/s where my view is blocked by attendees, no liability can be claimed for any requested shots missed.

Your guests are free to photograph the reception. However, I do ask however that no photos be taken during group shots or couples shots. This is so that I have you and your guest’s full attention.

These details are vital so that I can discuss your big day plans with them and make sure we both have all the same details.

You will receive you USB 6 - 8 weeks after your wedding day. In busy periods this timeline may be extended to 10 - 15 weeks, however, you will be informed if this is the case. Please note during peak season delivery timescales cannot be guaranteed.

You can also favourite 100 images and I'll use them as a starting point to create your wedding album if you want to purchase an album just send me an email I will send you over further details.

Yes, of course. If you would like we can arrange an album consultation to go over exactly what you want; you pick your desired albums and images you wish to include. I will be there to help and advise you every step of the way. In terms of layout, it is always best to follow the flow of your big day, however, it is completely at your discretion.

Once your album is ready you will receive an email about delivery and will be asked to sign the satisfactory waver form. If you are close to Norwich I may choose to hand-deliver your albums.
