Weddings

Bookings

I require you to book my services a minimum of 2 months in advance of your special occasion.

A non-refundable deposit of 60.00 GBP to confirm the booking is required.

This is to be paid within 5 calendar days of the booking being made.

The deposit will be deducted from your final invoice and you will receive a receipt via e-mail.

I will send you an e-mail as a confirmation of my booking.

Please reply to confirm that I am booked and you agree to my terms and conditions.

Please keep all correspondence for future reference.

I am charging you for my time (see Prices page) at your special occasion, plus any post production, editing and retouching work that I have to do, plus any expenses incurred (travel fees, postage etc).

I do not put my prices up for weddings; the hourly rate on my prices page is the hourly rate you pay.

I will meet you at least once before the occasion and do an informal photo shoot with you, so we can get to know each other.

If for any reason I am unable to attend the actual occasion (due to illness / injury) I will advise you as soon as possible and your deposit will be refunded in full.

If the client cancels; please download my Terms and conditions file; see section 6 (a) and (b).

The occasion

I will treat everyone with courtesy and respect and I expect the same in return.

For safety and technical reasons, I would strongly appreciate it that while I am working on creating your photographs, that your family and friends do not obstruct me in my duties.

I will work tirelessly to get all of the shots required, some shots take a little longer to set up, so please be patient and allow sufficient time for them to be achieved.

I have a list of classic wedding photos, that you can look at, it may give you ideas for photos that you had not thought of, so please send me a request for it via e-mail.

I will work entirely within the rules of the venue, as this will prevent any problems with the venue.

It is your responsibility to advise me of any specific rules to be observed.

After the occasion

I retain the worldwide copyright on all images that I take, this is standard business practice for any professional photographer and I will not release the master files.

So to save any embarrassment on either side, please do not ask.

Please also see my Terms and Conditions page for other important image usage information.

To ensure the future safety of your images, I will store them in two separate locations.

I will provide you with a set of rough proof sheets containing the best images from the day, for you to make your choices from.

There is a minimum order of twenty (20) of up to ten by eight (10 by 8) inch prints;

See Prices page.

Display albums / mounts for your photographs are very much a matter of personal taste, I will only provide you with the prints; it is up to you how you display them.

If requested by the client, for an extra fee I will also provide a CD of the images in an internet ready format only (JPG and less than 1MB per image in size)

The CD must be ordered at the same time as the prints.

The CD will only be sent with your finished prints and not before.

The images contained on the CD will be at too low a quality for prints, but will be suitable to e-mail to your family and friends in other countries.

I will provide your finished prints within 35 business days of the occasion and is usually dependent on my workload at the time.

The prints will be sent by recorded delivery or you are welcome to collect them from me with prior arrangement.

To ensure the highest quality, any prints that you require must be ordered directly from me.

Payment

Payment for my work is divided into two parts for which you will receive two invoices.

Payment One is for the assignment/shoot itself.

Payment Two is for the editing/any retouching work required and for the finished prints.

Payment required within 7 calendar days of the client receiving my invoice (via Paypal)

Your prints / CD will only be sent on satisfactory clearance of funds into my account.

Note; a snap taken with a point and shoot digital camera is not in the same league as a professional photograph....
