Wedding Photography Terms & Conditions
Copyright
The copyright Designs and Patents Acts assign the copyright of the images to the photographer.
License, Coverage and Reproduction
Photographs taken during the course of the event will be at the discretion of the photographer although every effort will be made to comply with the client’s requirements. The photographer shall be granted artistic license in relation to the poses photographed and the locations used. The photographer shall endeavour to photograph all individuals as requested by the client(s) at some point, but no responsibility will be taken by the photographer on the occasion of leaving somebody out. For a booking involving a church ceremony or at certain venues, the photographer's movements are sometimes restricted by the official in charge. The area from which the photographer is able to cover the ceremony may not be the photographer's choice and the photographer cannot accept responsibility for any obstructed view should this be the case. 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.
