Terms & Conditions

· IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

· An executed copy of this Agreement and a Booking Fee is payable to secure The Photographers services for The Clients date. The Booking Fee will be deducted from your total balance. The remaining balance will then be payable 14 days before the wedding. In the event that The Client fails to pay the remaining balance within two(2) days of the wedding date, The Photographer may, at their discretion, treat this agreement as if terminated by The Client. Upon payment of the Booking Fee, The Photographer will reserve the event date on behalf of The Client(s) and reject all other requests for event coverage on that date. Thus, if for any reason the wedding is cancelled or postponed, all monies paid are non-refundable, however will be transferable to a new date subject to availability or other photography services. 

The Client may cancel this contract anytime after it has been signed by sending written notice (or email) to The Photographer. If the written notification is received more than 120 days before the date the wedding is due to take place then The Photographer will reimburse The Client any monies paid, except for the Booking Fee.

It is strongly advised that you take out wedding insurance in the event that you have to cancel or rearrange your wedding

While every reasonable effort will be made to produce and deliver the agreed photographs ot video of the event, The Photographer’s entire liability to The Client for any claim arising from The Photographer’s performance or agents and servants (including photographers, processing and postal and delivery agents) is limited to a refund to The Client of the amount paid for services. The primary photographer for the wedding will be Ryan Evans (aka Teddy Evans). If The Photographer is involved in an event rendering him unconscious, liability is limited to a full refund of monies paid. In the unlikely event of photographic equipment failure, the limit of liability for a partial loss of originals shall be a prorated amount of the photographs lost based on the percentage of total number of originals. In the unlikely event of personal illness, Acts of God, or other circumstances beyond the control of The Photographer, a substitute photographer of high qualifications may be sent to fulfil the obligations of The Photographer herein contracted. If a substitute photographer is provided, The Client has the right to refuse to accept the substitute photographer and may instead terminate this agreement and receive a full refund of all monies paid.

CREATIVE LICENCE:
The Photographer shall be granted creative and artistic license in relation to the choice of locations and poses used. Judgement on photographic style and the number of photographs taken and delivered shall be deemed correct. On its own behalf, and on behalf of the subject, The Client acknowledges that they are familiar with The Photographer’s portfolio and are requesting services with knowledge of The Photographer’s style; that The Photographer’s work is constantly evolving; that The Photographer’s services are of unique and artistic nature; that the photos may be different from photographs taken by The Photographer in the past; and that in creating the photos, The Photographer shall use his personal artistic judgment to create images consistent with his personal vision of the event, which vision may be different from The Client’s and the subject’s vision of the event. Accordingly, The Client acknowledges that the photographs/video shall not be subject to rejection on the basis of taste or aesthetic criteria.

The photographer will endeavour to take all the photographs/video agreed. However, because a wedding is an uncontrolled event, the photographer cannot guarantee delivery of any specifically requested image(s) or videos, especially if timings or events are altered without our knowledge. Due to changes of the weather and the availability and willingness of subjects The Photographer will do their best to honour requested photographs/videos but cannot undertake to guarantee any specific picture nor incorporate any specific background, location or group arrangement.

During a wedding The Photographer will automatically re-take any photograph where they have seen that someone has blinked, but it is impossible to guarantee to see them all. The more people in the photograph the more difficult it is to see everyone.

All photographs are processed though photoshop lightroom to ensure colour and composition is of good quality. Minor editing will take place to get the best from the photographs. Any additional editing, airbrushing or retouching,  will be subject to an hourly rate of £40 per hour. Retouching includes but is not limited to additional skin softening/smoothing, correction of hair/makeup/clothing, swapping a face from one image to another, environmental effects, teeth whitening, brightening of eyes, and bodily enhancements. Videos are edited and created by using Final Cut Pro.

HOUSE RULES:
The guidelines of the ceremony official and the reception site management limit The Photographer. The Client agrees to accept the technical results of their imposition on The Photographer. Negotiation with the officials for moderation of guidelines is The Client’s responsibility; The Photographer will offer technical recommendations only.

EXCLUSIVITY:
The Photographer shall be the sole professional (still) photographer(s) at the venues specified. If booked for videography the same will apply to video.

DELIVERY:
Once a set of high resolution digital files have been delivered or HD video, the responsibility to preserve the images/video passes to The Client, and the decision whether The Photographer will keep a copy or not will be entirely at The Photographer’s discretion. After 14 days of receiving images / video we bare no responsibility in keeping copies.

COPYRIGHT:
The 1988 Copyright Act assigns the copyright to the photographer. It is contrary to the Act and strictly illegal to copy or allow to be copied, any photographs covered by this contract. The Photographer grants The Client permission to make copies of the images under the conditions that the images taken by the Photographer are for personal use by The Client and their friends and relatives.
