ENTIRE AGREEMENT:

This contract has been freely negotiated and shall be recognized as the entirety of the Agreement between the Photographer and the Client. This Agreement supersedes all prior and simultaneous agreements between the parties. Changes or additions to this Agreement are possible,provided placed explicitly in writing, and signed by all the relevant parties.

RESERVATION AND PAYMENT TERMS:

Upon your signature and receipt of the non-refundable reservation deposit will reserve the time and date agreed upon for you and will not make other reservations for that time and date. The deposit is applied towards the contracted wedding photography package. The Client understands and agrees that the remaining amount owed for the wedding photography package described in the deposit amount is due one month before the wedding day. Payment is to be made by check or by electronic means. The Photographer will supply account details.

PRE-EVENT CONSULTATION:

The parties agree to a pre-event consultation before the wedding date to finalize the actual shooting times and locations.

CANCELLATION:

If the Client cancels the contracted services for wedding photography outlined in this contract before the wedding ceremony, the deposit will be forfeited. Cancellation will be accepted within 21 days of signing this contract, or the remaining outstanding amount is still owed. In the unlikely event that the Photographercannot attend for any reason beyond their control: accident, illness or similar, the Lens of lights will arrange a new photographer with precisely the same arrangement.

HOUSE RULES:

The Photographer is limited by the guidelines of the ceremony official or the reception site management. The Client agrees to accept the technical results of their imposition on the Photographer. Should negotiation with the officials for moderation of guidelines be necessary, this is the Client’s ultimate responsibility, not the Photographer’s. The Photographer will not tolerate verbal or physically abusive behaviour nor share their time or compete with guest photographers for the subjects’ attention. Unchecked guest conduct that interferes with photography may seriously affect the photographs’ quality and increase the number of times photos must be re-taken. If the Client cannot control their guests’ conduct, resulting in an unacceptable degree of misconduct, or if the conduct of any of their guests damages the equipment of the Photographer, it will result in the early or immediate departure of the Photographer. In such an event, no refunds will be granted.

SAMPLE CD/DVD DELIVERY:

After the wedding, the Photographer will provide the Client with a watermarked high-resolution sample CD, DVD, or USB. This disk will contain all photographs (in colour) taken at the event.

COPYRIGHT & DIGITAL IMAGES:

The Photographer’s pictures, images and prints are protected by Copyright Law (all rights reserved) and may not be reproduced in any manner without explicit written permission. If the Client desires a copy of images in high resolution so they can print their documents in the future, these images may be purchased at a specified additional cost and will be supplied on CD or DVD. Documentation will also be provided granting permission to reproduce the photos. It is agreed that the Photographer may use such photographs taken for any lawful purposes, including for example, publicity, illustration, advertising, and Web content.
