2. Retainer and Payment
Package Fee: $250
Retainer: $00
Remainder: Remainder is due 24 hours prior to event.
3. Confirmation: A signed “Contract for Wedding Photography Services” and payment of the retainer are necessary to confirm the stated wedding services from the Photographer. 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. Additionally, we will contact you a few days before the wedding to ensure that there have been no last minute changes.
4. 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 who will point out key individuals to be photographed. The Photographer may also require the assistance of the best man or a bride’s maid 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 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.
5. 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 good humour and enjoyed by all concerned. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Copyright Law: The copyright of photographs remains with the Photographer. The Photographer grants the Clients permission to make copies of the images under the following conditions. The images taken by the Photographer are for
personal use by the Clients and their friends and relatives. Sale, Publication or any Commercial use of the photographs is not allowed without prior written permission from the Photographer. Clients and their friends and relatives will not digitally
alter the images in any way. Clients are welcome to contact the photographer with specific editing/digital altering requests as a separate business agreement.
9. 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. 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 images. However, there is the 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.
10. Retainer: In the event of the Clients cancellation of the wedding for whatever reason the retainer is nonrefundable. It will be considered as liquidated damages to the Photographers. In the event of the Clients cancellation of the wedding less than 48 hours prior to the event date, any additional payments toward the balance will considered liquidated damages. If for any emergency circumstance, the wedding must be rescheduled, the price quoted will be honored for a time period of 1 year from signing of contract, and deposit will remain applied to the event. Reschedule dates available on a first come first serve basis.
We have understood the contents of this contract and agree to the terms therein.
