The “Contract” means the contract signed by you and incorporates these terms and conditions. “Wedding” shall, if the context so requires, be deemed to be a reference to a civil partnership ceremony or any other analogous ceremony.

5. The balance of the Package Fee must be paid by you no less than 7 days prior to the date of the wedding. If the Package Fee is not paid by that date, we reserve the right not to provide any services until payment is made or to treat the Contract as being cancelled by you. The provisions of clause 20 will then apply.
6. The Package Fee includes the time and expense of our photographer travelling to and from the agreed locations. It also includes time for attending to take photographs as stated on the Contract. If the photographer is requested to stay for a longer period at the wedding or reception we will try to accommodate all reasonable requests but can not guarantee that we will be able to do so. We reserve the right to charge additional costs as an additional service at the rate specified in our current price list, a copy of which will be provided to you upon request.

9. Unless specifically agreed with you in advance and written on the Contract, the identity of the photographer who will provide the services will be at our discretion. If it is agreed with you that a specific photographer will provide the services, we will use our best endeavours to ensure availability on the day. In the unlikely event that this photographer is unable to attend for reasons beyond our control (e.g. death, injury or illness) we will use our best endeavours to arrange a suitable replacement. If this is not possible clause 20 shall apply.
10. We will discuss with you your general requirements and wishes in relation to the taking of the photographs. You should be aware that it may not be possible for these to be followed due to factors such as weather conditions, lighting conditions, the subjects being photographed and time constraints. You, therefore, grant us full and unfettered artistic licence in relation to the content of the photographs, their arrangement, composition, location and the number of photographs taken.
11. Photographs will be taken against the available backgrounds. Please note that we can not move objects or perform other cosmetic duties on location.
12. Weddings should be happy and relaxed occasions but the cooperation of you and your guests is essential in ensuring that the photography goes smoothly, the best results are obtained, and your goals achieved. You are, therefore, responsible for ensuring punctuality and the co-operation of your guests.
13. You agree to be responsible for any injury, loss or damage caused to our photographer or equipment caused by your guests.
14. All exposures are of nominal size. Every effort will be made to provide an identical colour balance between photographs but this may not always be possible due to factors such as lighting conditions and digital sensor limitations. Prints made on different occasions or in different sizes may also vary. Accordingly, no warranty is given that an exact colour match can be provided.
15. Prints and products must be ordered by you and your guests within 12 months of the wedding. After this time we can not guarantee to be able to fulfil the order and any order which we do fulfil will be subject to our then current price list.
