While the website showcases my photography style and the finished result, our Terms and Conditions of service are outlined below. Clients will typically receive a contract outlining the specifics of their selected Photo Shoot.
These T&C’s cover the standard conditions of my business. Please contact me to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS - ADRIAN WEDDERBURN PHOTOGRAPHY
1. RETAINER & PAYMENT:
The Client shall pay in full prior to the photo session or make a non-refundable retainer per the Selected Photography Session requirements for the Photographer to perform the services specified by the Selected Photography Session.
Upon payment, the Photographer will reserve the time and date agreed upon by both parties.
The Client agrees that this payment / retainer is earned by the Photographer when paid, and is remitted in consideration of the experience, reputation, skill of the Photographer, and in consideration of the inability of the Photographer to schedule other clients during this time.
The payment / retainer is non-refundable, should the Client cancel the session. Payment is transferable to another date, provided that notice of 7 days is given to the Photographer.
2. COOPERATION:
The Client shall assist and cooperate with the Photographer in obtaining the desired photographs, including but not limited to specifying persons and/or scenes to be photographed; taking time to pose for photographs at the Photographer’s direction; pre-shoot consultations; etc.
The Photographer shall not be responsible for photographs not taken as a result of Client’s failure to provide reasonable assistance or cooperation.
3. SHOOTING TIME:
The session fee covers the time detailed in the Selected Photography Session. The Client agrees that cooperation and punctuality are essential to accomplish the goals and wishes of all parties.
Shooting time commences at the scheduled start time. Any Client that is late arriving to the photography session will have the amount of time late deducted from the time allotted for the session. Clients shall not be compensated for the time deducted from the event due to late arrival of the Client.
4. LOCATION PERMITS & FEES:
Clients are responsible for any applicable location fees and permits, as well as any location expenses such as parking or admittance fees. If there are any costs/fees associated with the session location, you, the Client, will be responsible for all fees for both Client & Photographer.
5. RESCHEDULING:
If an illness or situation prevents a photo session from taking place, the Client may reschedule their session at least 48 hours prior to their shoot without penalty.
