WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY - CONTRACT AND TERMS & CONDITIONS
1. BOOKING FEE
The Booking Fee of £500 may be made by BACS online money bank transfer,
and secures the time and services of the Photographer(s) 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. Cancellation less
than 6 calendar months before the wedding will result in the payment in full.
All cancellations must be in writing. 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.
2. PAYMENTS
Following payment of the Booking Fee, the balance, is due 8 weeks
before wedding. Payment for additional Attendance Hours (part or whole at
£150 per hour) where agreed, but which may not be known accurately at the
time of Contract signing, must be made at the post wedding delivery meeting.
3. PRICES
All prices are as at the time of signing the Contract, but in the event that
changes arise that are outside the Photographer(s) control, for instance but not
exclusively, the costs of Prints, Additions, Travel and Subsistence, then we will
inform the Client of such within 21 days.
4. PHOTOGRAPHER(s)
The Principal Photographer will be Kristida, and a 2nd
photographer of her choice will be provided at extra cost if needed. They will
be the ONLY stills Photographers allowed to attend for financial gain.
(Videographers attendance by agreement.)
5. RETOUCHING
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 fibers. It is sometimes impossible to record on film or digitally the
exact colour as seen by the human eye. The number and style of photographs
delivered to the client by the Photographer shall be deemed correct. Only
edited files are given to clients.
Retouching, digital manipulation and artist finishing is available to the Client
as an optional extra.
The turnaround time for full edited photos
would be edited within 9-13 weeks range after wedding.
6. CREATIVE LISENCE
The Photographer(s) shall be granted artistic licence in relation to the poses
photographed and the locations used. The style and the number of
photographs are also dependent on vagaries of the weather and the
availability and willingness of the clients and their guests. The
Photographer(s) will make their best effort to honour requested photographs
but does not undertake any guarantee for any specific picture nor incorporate
any specific background, location or group arrangement.
7. DISPLAY
The Photographer may display any photographs included in this contract in
his studio, web site, portfolio, literature, display areas, exhibitions, blogs,
competitions, advertising or slide shows.
8. COPYRIGHT
Any images or copies of images whether stored digitally or otherwise and any
computer program including any source or object code, computer files or
printed documentation relating to such images are protected by the Copyright
and Design Act 1988. It is contrary to the Act to copy or allow to be copied
photographically, electronically or by any other means an image created as
part of this contract without the permission of The Photographer(s) in writing.
