(Our Terms & Conditions)

Booking & Deposit

Upon booking, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the session cost is required. The Session Deposit secures the Photography Session date and time, as well as the Photography Session pricing, as of the date of the deposit. The Session Deposit will be applied to the Photography Package price. Other images and products are sold separately. If the Client fails to make the required deposit, Photography Session date and time will not be secured.

Image selection and ordering

All sessions include a pre-shoot meeting in person or via the phone where the desirable will be discussed and decided upon and there will be a second ordering meeting which will occur up to two weeks after the session has been completed. This will allow the photographer the necessary amount of time to complete all editing of the images. Once the editing has been done, a private password protected online gallery will be generated and given to the client for one week to view all edited images. It will be up to the discretion of the client if a link should be shared with guests from the event in a non-password protected gallery so that they may choose to print separate pictures. Once viewed all decision makers will then be present at the ordering meeting and final orders will be placed. Additional ordering sessions will incur a charge which will be decided upon by the photographer. The clients will then receive a link where they can download the selected images in original format if they chose the digital images solely. If they require a hard copy with the selected images in a customized USB key, this will be at an additional cost of £40. For any additional print outs, the cost for small print outs is £1.50 per image ( 4x6 size ) or £5 for large print outs ( A4 size ). Any request for further editing of pictures after they have been finalised to the client will be subject to a £5.00 extra charge.

Booking cancellation

In the event the client cancels the photography session with less than seventy-two hours notice, the photographer will retain the non-refundable deposit. The decision to re-schedule the photography session is left to the sole discretion of the photographer.
If the cancellation occurs 72 hours before the scheduled service, the photographer will retain the deposit as per agreement.
The photographer reserves the right to cancel the photography session due to unforeseen circumstances including, but not limited to: inclement weather, illness, emergency, or any other conditions which the photographer deems may adversely affect the quality of the photography session. In the event the photographer cancels the scheduled session, the deposit will be applied to a re-scheduled session that is agreed upon by the parties or total refund of deposit.
In the unlikely event the photographer is unable to fulfil this Agreement due to injury, illness, acts of God, or for any other reason beyond the reasonable control of Photographer, the client’s sole and exclusive remedy is the return of any payments made by the client pursuant to this Agreement. This includes the loss of images that is beyond the control of the photographer, including, but not limited to: fire, theft, or malfunction of equipment. The photographer is not responsible if the client and / or key individuals fail to appear or co-operate during the photo sessions, or for missed images due to details not revealed to the photographer.

Permissions

The client is entitled to grant permission to the photographer to use any or some of the pictures for advertisement purposes on the website, social media or any other marketing media.
A specific selection of options will be given to the client prior to the service and an agreement will be signed before the service takes place.

Client Agreement

The client agrees to release all claims or rights to any profit that may be generated for the use and publication of images taken from the session. The client further agrees to indemnify and defend the photographer for all claims, demands, or lawsuits made in relation to the photographer’s use of the images as contemplated by this paragraph. The photographer retains the exclusive copyright protection for all images taken during the photography session. The client may use the images taken during the photography session for professional display, profit, or other commercial endeavor if the copyright and signature remains visibly displayed on the images (no cropping allowed).

Purchased Photos can be cropped only for personal & private use.
NOT for public display.

All images displayed on Photographer’s websites are subject to the protections of this paragraph. For all purchased images, the photographer grants the client permission to share the purchased images with family, friends, and on social networking websites so long as the images remain unaltered and textual credit is provided by the presence of the "signature logo".
This agreement is the entire agreement between the client and photographer and may only be modified as set forth in the foregoing paragraphs, in writing, and as agreed-upon by the parties. This agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties. If one or more paragraphs are found to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining paragraphs shall remain in effect and are enforceable.
