Terms & Conditions


Any product/service purchased between the COMPANY and the CLIENT is held under these terms & conditions. It supersedes all prior and simultaneous agreements between the parties. The only way to add or change this agreement is to do so in writing, signed by all parties. In the event that any part of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement shall remain valid and enforceable. Any agreement to waive one or more provisions of this agreement or any failure by one or both parties to enforce a provision of this agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other portion or provision of this agreement.


RESERVATION

A deposit is required to reserve the dates and times of the EVENT(S). If the EVENT(S) are rescheduled, postponed, or cancelled; or if there is a breach of the booking agreement by the CLIENT, the deposit is non-refundable and shall be liquidated damages to The COMPANY. The CLIENT shall also be responsible for payment for any of the COMPANY’s materials charges incurred up to time of cancellation. The deposit reserves the dates, times & service of the EVENT as well as confirms agreement to the terms & conditions.

CANCELLATION

A booking/retainer fee are required to reserve the dates and times of the wedding. The CLIENT has the right to cancel contract within 14 days of signing and will receive a refund of the retainer fee. After the 14 day cooling off period, if the CLIENT should cancel the Event for any reason, the fee will not be refunded. The CLIENT may cancel this contract at any time by giving written notice to The COMPANY but in doing so shall forfeit the retainer fee. Cancellation (with the exception of severe circumstances) less than 12 weeks before the wedding will result in the payment in full becoming due. All cancellations must be in writing.

POSTPONEMENT

Should the CLIENT need to postpone their wedding to a later date, the CLIENT should liaise with the Photographer about the potential new date/s to check their availability before booking a final date with the venue to avoid losing the Photographer. If the Photographer is unavailable on the new date, the retainer fee will not be refunded and the Photographer will find an associate to photograph the event on their behalf. The photographer will then edit the associate photographer images in their own editing style and deliver the images themselves. Postponements made NOT in conjunction with COVID-19 will incur a postponement fee of £500.


COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

In the instance of Government restrictions banning weddings due to Covid-19 or similar, the COMPANY agrees to be flexible and move the CLIENTs date free of charge, waiving the postponement fee and cancellation policy above, and for the same rate as stated on this contract within 12 months of the original wedding date. For postponements further in advance than the original wedding date stated on

this contract, The COMPANY’s current rates will apply for the chosen year. The CLIENT agrees to check the COMPANY’s availability for any new wedding date before confirming with the venue and other suppliers as per the Postponement clause above. In the instance of Government restrictions meaning weddings can go ahead but at limited numbers the Photographer agrees to waive RESERVATION clause (see 1.2) and discuss on a case-by-case basis for required photography coverage. All amendments to postponed wedding dates can be done so in writing via email with agreement from both CLIENT and COMPANY.
