Terms and Conditions
It is agreed that the following terms and the Wedding Photography Contract set out the total agreement made between the parties and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in writing.
Booking Retainer
The booking retainer secures the time and services of the Photographer for the wedding and is non-refundable or transferable in the event of cancellation, it being the agreed loss suffered by the photographer due to cancellation. Weddings that are postponed to a later date will retain the fee as long as the photographer can re-schedule for the new date and time.
Payments
Following payment of the booking retainer, the balance of fees due is to be paid a minimum of 28 days prior to the wedding. Payment for any additional images required is to be made when they are ordered.
Display
By signing this Agreement the Bride and Groom hereby grant the Photographer a model release to use any photographs resulting from this Agreement for promotional purposes in the Photographer’s web site, portfolio, literature, display areas, exhibitions, competitions, advertising or slide shows. No other commercial use of said photographs will be made by the Photographer.
Images
All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibres. It is sometimes impossible to record on film or digitally the exact colour as seen by the human eye.
