Your Agreement at a glance 

The booking fee is due on signing this agreement with the balance of the amount agreed due Balance Due Date 14 days before the date of the wedding.

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. Payment made is agreeing to the terms and conditions set within. 

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. 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 photographed. The Photographer may also require the assistance of the best man in organising 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 their photo taken. In such cases the Photographer will use his discretion but cannot be held responsible for a lack of photos of these people. It is expected that the couple agree to have their photo's taken. If you choose not to have photos at that time, responsibility for that missed shot will lie with the client. 

The Schedule: Our shooting schedule, style of working and experience are designed to achieve a great set of wedding photos for the Clients, accomplished with humour and sometimes edge to create facial reactions that photograph positively. . Both the Clients and the Photographers therefore agree that punctuality and cheerful cooperation are essential to producing outstanding photographic 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 photos although in such circumstances we will do our absolute best to compensate. You must be able to account for photos to be taken within your timings as well as any travel to and from the ceremony to your venue. 

Paparazzi Wedding Guests: All your guests will have digital cameras and all your guests will want to photograph the Clients. In the spirit of cheerful cooperation the Clients agree to give the Photographers precedence over the guests in order to take the photographs required for the wedding services described above. We cannot be held liable for a lack of wedding
photos if guests taking their own photos of the Clients continually interrupt the Photographer's work.

House Rules: Note the Photographers are 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 flash photography is allowed, and others will insist that the Photographers 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 photographs remains with the Photographer. The Photographer grants the Clients permission to make copies of the images and share freely.

Limit of Liability: If a 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. If 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 images. However, there is the very unlikely possibility that images 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 images supplied.

We do not supply RAW files at any time. These remain with the photographer. RAW files are a data file, pre processed and not a representation of my work. Typically you will receive from 400 edited images for a full day however on most occasions will exceed this. The chosen images are those who exclude blinking, external distractions or unwanted facial reactions. This remain to the discretion of the photographer. 

Booking Fee/Deposit is the £100 which is deducted off your total amount owed. In the event of the Clients cancelling the wedding for whatever reason the booking fee is non-refundable unless of exceptional circumstances. We have understood the contents of this contract and agree to the terms therein. Due to the likelihood of replacing your day is reduced closer to the time the following retention is the following. In event of COVID restrictions that prevents your day from occurring, below does not apply. Where numbers are restricted, a reduction in hours can be agreed.

In instances where my personal safety in question, my obligation to continue will be ceased unless the person does not continue to be an issue. Any sexual advances with physical touching is also not acceptable whilst I am providing the photographic service.
