wedding photography terms and conditions

Deposits

A £200 deposit is required at the time of booking and is deducted from the full price. The purpose of a deposit is to secure our services for a particular time and date and is therefore not refundable in the event of a cancellation. The photographer will decline any other enquiries for the date upon receiving this fee. The booking fee is payable within five working days from the date of booking. After this time the reservation will be automatically removed and the date will become open for booking. Weddings that are postponed to a later date will retain the fee only if the photographer can re-schedule the new date and time. All cancellations must be made in writing

50% of the balance of your wedding photography is required 6 months prior to your wedding. The remainder at your pre-wedding meeting, approximately 2 weeks before the wedding. Any Upgrades and Additions are payable on order.

Photography

The photographer and assistants shall strive to accommodate reasonable requests in regard to poses used, location used and group shots taken. The photographer and assistants shall however be granted artistic license in relation to the poses photographed, the location used and the group shots taken.The photographer’s judgment regarding the location /poses/groups and the number of photographs taken shall be deemed correct. Due to the vagaries of the weather and the willingness of subjects, it may not be possible to capture all the photographs requested. Photography is a subjective medium and while some people may like a picture, others may not. The couple agree that not all images provided by the photographer may be to their liking and concede that not every image the photographer attempts to capture will be successful. The photographer will overshoot so that after editing, the contractual obligations of this contract are still fulfilled. 

For weddings involving church or other venues, photographers’ movements are sometimes restricted by the minister or officials in charge, which can result in parts or even all photography of the ceremony being restricted or prohibited, as may the use of artificial lighting. The photographer cannot take responsibility for limited coverage in such cases.

The photographer and/or assistant will not tolerate verbally or physically abusive behaviour of the client or guests of the event and reserve the right to leave the event should any abusive behaviour occur.

A hot meal for the photographer and assistant must be provided if the “Let’s Dance” Collection or the “Perfect” collection coverage is requested.
