Terms and Conditions
It is mutually agreed that the following terms of agreement form an integral part of this contract and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless accepted by both ‘Whitehill Weddings’ and the client, in writing.
BOOKING DEPOSIT: A deposit of 25% is required at the time of booking, together with the Booking Form/Contract. Dates are reserved only when this deposit is paid. An unconditional refund policy exists for a period of 7 days from receipt of this payment.
On receipt of the deposit cheque with the completed Booking Form, ‘Whitehill Weddings’ reserves the time and date agreed upon, and will not make other reservations for that time or date. For this reason, all deposits and payments are non-refundable, even if the date is changed or the wedding is cancelled for any reason, unless any unforeseen circumstances occur causing loss of ALL photographic images in which case ‘Whitehill Weddings’ will only be responsible for the return of all monies paid to date. In the event of a late booking (less than 2 months before wedding date) all fees must be paid in full on booking.
BALANCE PAYMENT The balance is to be made no later than 30 days prior to the Wedding Ceremony. Payment for additional albums, photographs, prints and frames is made after the wedding at the time of ordering. Overtime is charged at £60 per hour – after 10 mins of first hour charged as whole hour.
Final verbal or email agreement by you on your proof book design to the photographer ‘Whitehill Weddings’ constitutes an order for that book and no further additions or changes can be incorporated from that point forward. It is understood that, due to the technical limitations of the printing process, the colour reproduction of prints cannot be guaranteed to be identical to those viewed at the proofing stage.
CREATIVE LICENCE: ‘Whitehill Weddings’ shall be granted creative and artistic licence in relation to the choice of locations and poses used. My judgement on photographic style and the number of photographs taken shall be deemed correct. Due to changes of the weather and the availability and willingness of subjects ‘Whitehill Weddings’ will do their best to honour requested photographs, but do not undertake to guarantee any specific picture nor incorporate any specific background, location or group arrangement. It must also be understood that ‘Whitehill Weddings’ are the only professional photographers at your wedding. If your guests interrupt the flow of the day I shall have to ask them to step aside, so that I am able to give you the best possible shots.
PRIVACY: ‘Whitehill Weddings’ will store your name and wedding details on a private internal database. These details will not be made available to companies or individuals outside of ‘Whitehill Weddings’.
The client shall provide a light meal for the photographers in attendance for any bookings longer than 4 hours. Soft drinks must be made available for all bookings.
