Wedding Photography Terms & Conditions


Copyright & License The copyright of all images belongs to us under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Acts. We grant you a non-commercial, high-resolution license to use your photographs for personal use. All computer files remain our property.


Artistic Control We use our artistic judgement to determine poses, locations, and the overall coverage of your event. Our judgement is final. We cannot be held responsible for obstructed views or for failing to photograph specific individuals. Due to lighting and digital sensor limitations, some colours may vary.


Technical Failure All equipment is regularly checked, and we have backup gear. In the unlikely event of a total photographic failure, our liability is limited to a full refund of any fees paid.


Unforeseen Circumstances If Claire is unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, we will make every effort to provide a trained replacement photographer. In the event we must cancel, our liability is limited to a full refund of all fees paid.


Archive & Products We will store your wedding photographs for a maximum of six months from your wedding date, at which point they may be permanently deleted. You must download and back up your images within this period. After this time, a £100 service fee applies to retrieve your images from our archives and provide a digital download link, subject to availability. To ensure your order is fulfilled in a timely manner, all products included in your package, including albums, must also be ordered within six months of your wedding date. After this period, our obligation to provide these products will expire.


Album Delivery All wedding albums are delivered directly from the manufacturer free of charge via courier.


Liability We cannot be held responsible for any accidental damage or personal injuries during a photoshoot. You participate in all photoshoots at your own risk.


On the Day

  • Exclusive Photographers: We are your only authorised and official photographers. We welcome guests taking photos but cannot be shadowed by amateur photographers as it may interfere with our work.
  • Timeline: We start two hours before the ceremony and no earlier than 9AM and finish shortly after the first dance and no later than 9PM.
  • Meals: Two hot meals must be provided for us at the same time as the wedding breakfast.
  • Photography Breaks: We do not take photos during the wedding breakfast, apart from key events like speeches and the cake cutting.
  • Preparation Photos: We photograph preparation for Partner 1 only unless Partner 2 is at the same location.


Payments & Cancellation


For Clients Who Have Paid a Deposit

  • A non-refundable deposit secures your wedding date.
  • The remaining balance is due three months before the wedding.
  • If you cancel more than twelve months before the wedding, the deposit is forfeited.
  • If you cancel between twelve and six months before the wedding, the deposit is forfeited and 50% of the total package fee is due.
  • If you cancel less than six months before the wedding, the full package fee is due.


For Clients Who Have Paid in Full

  • Full payment secures your wedding date.
  • If the discounted rate is chosen by paying in full at booking or through an early-bird offer, this reduced fee is non-refundable. This reflects both the significant value of the discount and the stricter cancellation terms associated with early commitment.


Rescheduling


If We Are Available

  • If you reschedule your wedding, and we are available on the new date, the remaining balance must be paid in full to transfer the booking.


If We Are Unavailable

  • If you reschedule your wedding and we are not available on the new date, this will be treated as a client cancellation. All payments made will be retained, and the Cancellation policy will apply to determine if any additional balance is due.


Severability If any part of this contract is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the remainder of the terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect. This ensures that even if one clause is deemed legally invalid, the rest of the agreement still stands.
