​

Pre-Consultation: The Clients will outline broadly what is required and the photographer and videographer will advise on planning, logistics and timings where needed. If required the Clients are welcome to keep in contact for an additional consultation closer to the time of the photo session (about 2 weeks) to clarify the remaining details. In any case we will contact you by phone or email a few days before to ensure that there have been no last minute changes.

​

The Schedule: Both the Clients and the photographer and videographer therefore agree that punctuality and cheerful cooperation are essential to producing outstanding photographic results. 

​

House Rules: Note the photographer and videographer are sometimes limited by rules imposed by venue management as to what can and cannot be done. For example some venues insist that no flash photography is allowed, and others will insist that the photographers shoot from a specific location. In such circumstances the Clients agree to accept the technical limitations that may be imposed on the equipment used. We advise the Clients to make themselves aware of the rules of the venue concerned and if necessary negotiate with the personnel concerned.

 

Copyright Law: The copyright of photographs remains with the photographer and videographer. The photographer and videographer grants the Clients permission to make copies of the images under the following conditions.

This will include altering exposure and brightness and potentially colour alteration also. With this in mind, it is noted that no RAW files will be provided to the client and re-editing the work of the photographer is prohibited. 

 

Video editing: The videographer will edit the videos into the set of ‘films’ agreed at the pre-wedding meeting. This will include the discussed music choice and length of feature. The videographer will edit the video using his discretion to edit and enhance the video provided to you. Music used in the final videos may be subject to copyright and therefore cannot be posted to social media (such as Youtube) without the permission of the videographer.
