Booking Fee / Deposit payments

A non-refundable booking fee of £200 , £150 or £100 (depending on package ) as well as full acceptance of the terms and conditions as published on the photographer's website secures the time and services of the Photographer for the wedding and is non refundable or transferable in the event of cancellation, it being the agreed loss suffered by the photographer due to cancellation. The booking fee will be deducted from the cost of the client's chosen package when calculating the final balance due. Payment in full of the remaining balance will be due one calendar month before the wedding day. Weddings that have to be  postponed to a later date will retain the fee as long as the photographer can re- schedule for the new date and time.

Wedding Arrangements

The details of the wedding arrangements are to be agreed beforehand in writing (email is acceptable). The Client shall notify the Photographer of any changes to these details in writing.

This will be no problem. 

Images

All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer/s will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching  caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibers. It is sometimes impossible to record on film or digitally the exact colour as seen by the human eye.

For bookings involving a church ceremony or at other certain venues the photographers movements will sometimes be restricted by the official in charge and can even be restricted by a booked videographer. The photographers locations choices to cover the ceremony may not be the photographers choice and the photographer cannot accept responsibility for any obstructed view should this be the case.

Retouching

All images will be adjusted for exposure, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc The Photographer's judgement regarding these corrections and the number of images put forward to the Client for preview shall be deemed correct. Some retouching , and portrait finishing may also be applied .

Prints / Reorders

All prints and reorders shall be treated as an extension of this contract and no responsibility for error will be accepted unless orders are given in writing.

Copyright

Any images or copies of images whether stored digitally or otherwise and any computer program including any source or object code, computer files or printed documentation relating to such images are protected by the Copyright and Design Act 1988. It is contrary to the Act to copy or allow to be copied photographically/electronically or by any other means an image created as part of this contract without the permission of The Photographer/s in writing. Snappitt Photography however offer all their image packages with a licence for the client to do with the images ,  as they wish , print ., copy ,etc.   Non-commercial only. 

Wedding

Due to the extent of differences in clients preferences it is not the photographers responsibility to take any desired people in photographs. Formal group shots will be taken as required within reason provided there is enough time before the clients are called for their meal . It is the clients responsibility to have a list of these and it is suggested that they include someone who can help organise these by helping to get the people needed for each shot.

It is important for the client to understand that they book the photographer based on their photography work and creative style. It is not possible for the photographer to recreate another photographers work or ideas through selected images by the client.

Licence

The Photographer/s shall be granted artistic licence in relation to the poses photographed and the locations used. The Photographers judgement regarding the locations/poses and number of images taken shall be deemed correct. Due to the vagaries of the weather and the willingness of subjects it may not be possible to capture all the images requested.

Force Majeure or Act of God

The due performance of this contract is subject to alteration or cancellation by either party owing to any cause beyond their control. Although all equipment is checked regularly and reasonable steps are taken to ensure backup equipment is available, the photographer will not be responsible for photographs that are not produced due to technical failure.

Attendance

In the unlikely event of the assigned Photographer being unable to attend your wedding due to unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to appoint another photographer to attend your wedding on our behalf to undertake the wedding photography to his/her best ability.
