PRE-WEDDING CONSULTATION: The initial consultation normally happens at the time of booking. The Clients will outline broadly what is required and the Photographer will advise on general 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 to iron out remaining details. The Photographer(s) will contact the Client(s) prior to the wedding to ensure that there have been no last-minute changes. The Clients and the Photographer agree to communicate pertinent updates with each other throughout the planning process to achieve the best possible result within the understanding of this contract. 

​

WEDDING DAY COOPERATION: The Clients agree to give the Photographer sufficient warning of key events at the wedding so as to give the Photographers 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 Photographers will use their discretion but cannot be held responsible for a lack of photos of such individuals, nor can they guarantee images of every guest.

​

The Clients agree to give the Photographer precedence over guests in order to take the photographs required for the wedding services.

​

The Clients agree to provide a meal for the Photographer if the length of attendance exceeds five hours. 

​

The Photographer is sometimes limited by rules imposed by registrars, ministers and venue management (eg; no flash photography, limited shooting locations, etc.). In such circumstances the Clients agree to accept the technical limitations that may be imposed. The Photographer advises the Clients to make themselves aware of the rules of the venue(s) concerned and if necessary, negotiate with the appropriate personnel. 

​

THE SCHEDULE: To the best of their ability, the Clients agree to provide the photographer with a detailed wedding day itinerary 14 days prior to the day. It is understood by the Photographer that plans change for a variety of reasons, but changes should be made clear by the Clients in as timely a manner as possible to ensure full coverage of as much of the day as possible. The Photographer will make every effort to accommodate changes but will not be held responsible should those changes result in missed photographic opportunities.

DELIVERY: Delivery of images will be in high resolution, jpg format. All the best captured images from the day will be selected and edited at the discretion of the Photographer.
