Wedding Photography Terms & Conditions

Client's Guarantee

The Jasmine Cottage Studio understands that each wedding is unique and personal to each couple.  The Jasmine Cottage Studio guarantees the following for each wedding carried out:

• At least one face-to-face pre-wedding consultation or  video-conferencing call (should location, availability & any other circumstances dictate) that is mutually agreed by both parties, where the wedding day will be discussed in detail to include, but not limited to, photography style and schedule
• A personal service from The Jasmine Cottage Studio for each client with continuous communication
• A dedicated online viewing platform will be available to the client up to 4 to 6 weeks (8 weeks in high season) after the wedding for them, their family and their friends to access
• Photos to be professionally enhanced with a selection of both colour, and black & white, photographs at no additional cost
• On the wedding day, for members of The Jasmine Cottage Studio (where to applicable) to arrive up to 45 minutes prior to the agreed venue with the client, unless otherwise specified by the client during the initial pre-wedding consultation(s), and for all parties to be dressed in appropriate working attire according to the event
• To supply the best possible imagery where restrictions may be in place such as, but not limited to, registrar / ceremonial / venue guidelines, background distractions, technical faults, severe weather conditions etc.  On that basis, it is required for the client to obtain photographic permit conditions from their venue and registrar of any such imposed limitation and notify The Jasmine Cottage Studio as soon as possible

Photography Style

Upon signing this agreement, the client automatically agrees to the liking and photographic style performed by The Jasmine Cottage Studio.  No refunds or replacements shall be made on the basis of a dislike or dissatisfaction of such photography, and editing, style and therefore the client accepts that the style of photography provided is candid and documentary with minimal posed portraits.  All efforts will be made to honour specific requests, however, The Jasmine Cottage Studio will not be held responsible should any individuals not be photographed as it is advised to note not all guests like to be photographed.  In such cases, The Jasmine Cottage Studio will do her absolute best to accommodate such circumstances but will be held harmless if people are missing from the clients' photo collection.

Products

Any post Event Goods such as albums, prints, memory sticks or additional downloads must be requested / ordered within 12 months of the Event.  The price of Goods may change in that time and the Photographer reserves the right to vary the price of Goods if suppliers increase their prices, should additional items be purchased that were not part of the original agreement / event package between the Client and The Jasmine Cottage Studio.

Where digital files for Images are provided, the Client is responsible for ensuring that the digital files are safely stored upon delivery or collection, and the Photographer is under no obligation to store or maintain copies of the digital files or Images for more than 12 months after the Event.
