4. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY:
*
Client is to provide address to locations, emergency telephone numbers, family shot list and itinerary of the the wedding day no later than one week prior to the wedding date. Any family shots not added to the list given to the Photographer prior to the ceremony will have to wait until "down time" during the reception so as not to eat into valuable portrait time with the couple. Client will assist and cooperate with the photographer in gaining any requested photographs, such as specifying the people and location to be photographed; assisting the photographer in posing at the photographers direction; pre-consultations, etc. The Photographer is not responsible for photographs that are not taken due to clients failure to be cooperative, communicative and of reasonable assistance.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:
*
While every reasonable effort will be made to create and deliver quality photographs of wedding events, the entire liability of the photographer to Client for any claim, loss, injury, or damage arising or relating to this agreement or the performance hereunder of any photographer, including the negligence of the photographer, is limited to a refund to client of the amount received by the Photographer regarding this event. In the unlikely event of unforeseen illness or any other circumstances beyond our control, or an act of God, a substitute photographer of high qualifications, will be selected and dispatched by the Photographer to fulfill the obligations of photography herein contracted. This will not be viewed as a breach of contract, as this replacement will act as an associate of the Photographer for the event. Also, we cannot ever prepare for technical malfunction and while it is rare, it does occur. The Photographer takes the utmost care as to the maintenance of all gear and storage devices and is not responsible for any technical malfunction of cameras, memory cards or hard drives. In the event of total wedding loss, a full refund will be issued. If partial wedding loss (such as family photos, bridals, etc.), reshoots will be offered. In the event of partial wedding loss of ceremony or reception, an appropriate refund to account for the hours spent shooting said photos will be refunded at a rate of $100/hour.
6. EXCLUSIVITY AND AUTHORITY:
*
The Photographer will be the sole professional still photographer(s) working at the wedding events. If any one appearing to be a professional photographer is present, the Photographer will leave the event for breach of contract.
7. CELL PHONES AND OTHER "PHOTOGRAPHERS":
*
The Photographer encourages an unplugged ceremony, as guests often do not realize they are obstructing the photographer during the ceremony. If you choose to allow cell phone photos at your ceremony, the Photographer is not responsible for removing them from photographs or for the loss of any important shots that may be missed due to cell phone use. Please keep in mind that at rare times, guests/ bridal party/ family members may disregard this rule and as such you may experience a loss of moments that otherwise would have been documented for you. Additionally, NO OTHER PROFESSIONAL CAMERAS ARE ALLOWED DURING PORTRAIT SESSIONS. Family members/friends will have plenty of opportunities to photograph you with their cell phones outside of allotted portrait time. Please, nobody but photographer and the couple during scheduled portrait times. This is not only a violation of intellectual copyright maintained by the Photographer but also a major distraction and will detract from the quality of your photos.
