BOOKING FORM

TERMS & CONDITIONS This contract is designed to protect the Client and the Photographer. Its purpose is to set out in writing exactly what you as the Client can expect to receive and what I as a Photographer must provide. It is not always possible to remember exactly what has been agreed at each meeting, which is why this contract shall take precedence over any verbal agreement. Should we have agreed anything outside of this contract, please add it to the notes section. On receipt of this contract, I will indicate my acceptance of these notes via email and that they shall form part of the contract. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure anything agreed between us, not included in the contract is included in the notes section. It is mutually agreed that the following terms of the contract form an integral part of this contract and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless accepted by both parties in writing.

Any additional payments for albums and other services can be made when pleased. Prices for orders placed over one year after the date of the wedding may be subject to change from the last price effective as at the date of the wedding. This includes orders that are part of the initial wedding package e.g. the bride and groom’s album. After 1 year the Photographer can not guarantee that the images will still be available. 4. Cancellation If the Client cancels this contract within 4 weeks of the date of the wedding, the Photographer will require the Total Fee.
