​
Entire Agreement: This agreement contains the entire understanding between the Clients and the Photographer.
​
Confirmation: A signed “Contract for Wedding Photography Services” and payment of the booking fee are necessary to confirm the stated wedding services from the Photographer.
​
Final Products: The Photographer agrees the provide the following to the Client. A package of no less than 300 images sent to the client.
​
Pre-Wedding Consultation: This normally happens at the time of booking. The Clients will outline broadly what is required and the Photographer will advise on planning, logistics and timings where needed. If required the Clients are welcome to pop in for an additional chat closer to the time of the wedding (about 2 weeks) to iron out the remaining details. In any case we will contact you by phone a few days before the wedding to ensure that there have been no last minute changes.
Cooperation: The Clients and the Photographer consent to happily cooperating and communicating with each other to achieve the best possible result within the understanding of this contract. We recommend that the Photographer be provided with a helper (usually the best man) who will point out key individuals to be filmed. The Photographer may also require the assistance of the best man in organizing family groups. The Clients also agree to give the Photographer sufficient warning of key events at the wedding to give the Photographer time to prepare e.g. Bouquet throwing, cutting the cake, speeches etc. Please note that not all guests at weddings like having to be filmed. In such cases the Photographer will use his discretion but cannot be held responsible for a lack cooperation.
Creative Control: The Photographer remains in control of the creative process it takes to make said final products, this means that the client has no bearing on the edit style of photo or video and what is provided is a final product. Unless said product has been corrupted in transportation.
Second shooter: The Photographer has control over the second shooter on when and where the second shooter is taking images or filming, as well as full and sole communication with said shooter. This is to insure that the Photographer can get the essential shots they need to provide a professional final product to the Client.​
The Schedule: Our shooting schedule, style of working and experience are designed to achieve a great set of images for the Clients, accomplished with good humor and enjoyed by all concerned. Both the Clients and the Photographers therefore agree that punctuality and cheerful cooperation are essential to producing outstanding results. In cases where the wedding does not run on time (for example, extreme lateness by one of the Clients arriving to the church) we cannot guarantee to take our normal set of images or videos although in such circumstances we will do our absolute best to compensate.​
Paparazzi Wedding Guests: All your guests will have digital cameras and all your guests will want to film the Clients. In the spirit of cheerful cooperation the Clients agree to give the Photographers precedence over the guests in order to film the required content for the wedding services described above.​
House Rules: Note the Photographer is sometimes limited by rules imposed by registrars, ministers and venue management as to what can and cannot be done. For example some ministers insist that no filming is allowed, and others will insist that the Photographer shoot from a specific location. In such circumstances the Clients agree to accept the technical limitations that may be imposed on the equipment used. We advise the Clients to make themselves aware of the rules of the venue concerned and if necessary negotiate with the personnel concerned.
Copyright Law: The copyright of footage and/or images remains with the Photographer . The Photographer grants the Clients permission to make copies of the images under the following conditions. The video and images taken by the Photographer are for personal use by the Clients and their friends and relatives. Sale, Publication or any Commercial use of videos is not allowed without written permission from the Photographer.​
Model Release: The Clients grant the Photographer and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns, the irrevocable and unlimited consent to use the videos of the Clients for editorial, competition, advertising and any other purpose and in any manner, to alter the videos without restriction; and to copyright the video. The Clients hereby release the Photographer and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns from all liability and claims in connection with the images.​
Limit of Liability: If the Photographer is too ill or becomes injured and cannot supply the wedding services specified above the Photographer will try to book a replacement wedding Photographer. Under normal circumstances a second Photographer from the Photographer is there for the day anyway and this Photographer will then shoot the day on his/her own. If both Photographers are unavailable and a replacement Photographer cannot be found then liability is limited to a refund of any payments received. The Photographers have working methods in place to prevent loss or damage to your media. However, there is the unlikely possibility that media may be lost, stolen or destroyed for reasons in or beyond our control. In these circumstances liability is limited to the return of fees paid for the service or part thereof according to the percentage of videos or images supplied.
​
Booking Fee/Deposit: In the event of the Clients cancelling the wedding for whatever reason the booking fee is non-refundable. It will be considered as liquidated damages to the Photographer.
