The Product. The Photographer agrees to be in attendance on the wedding date on the Booking Form and to take photographs during the day. The photographer agrees that the Couple will be provided with photographic services and products relevant to the wedding package they have chosen.
Sole Rights. The Photographer shall be the sole professional stills photographer at the venues specified on the booking form. Other persons may take photographs at the wedding and reception, however all group shots set up by the Photographer are for the Photographer to photograph without distractions from guests or third parties. It is the Client's responsibility to inform all guests and third party vendors of this policy

The Photographer has the absolute right to copyright and use the photographs taken at the wedding and any other reproduction or adaptations thereof, in whole or in part, alone or in composite or altered form, or in conjunction with any wording or other photographs or drawings, for advertising, publicity, editorial or any other purpose including use on the Internet and World Wide Web or transmission by any other electronic means.
Model Release. The Couple waive any right to inspect or approve the finished use of the photographs and the copyright of the photographs belongs to the Photographer as per the United Kingdom Copyright Act 1988.

Limitation of Liability. If the Photographer cannot perform this Contract in whole or in part due for any reason then the Photographer may return all monies paid by the Couple and shall have no further liability with respect to this Contract.

If the Contract is cancelled within 30 days of the wedding then it will be subject to a cancellation charge of 50% of the total price stated on the booking form. Booking fees are not refundable.
Colour Matching. It is not always possible to reproduce colours exactly as seen by the human eye. Whilst all effort will be made to reproduce colours accurately, the Photographer cannot guarantee exact colour matching.
