Pre-Event Consultation:
This normally happens at the time of booking. The Clients will outline broadly what is required and the Photographer will advise on planning, logistics and timings where needed. If required the Clients are welcome to pop in for an additional chat closer to the time of the event (about 1 Month) to iron out the remaining details. In any case we will contact you by phone a few days before the event to ensure that there have been no last minute changes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cooperation:
The Clients and the Photographer consent to happily cooperating and communicating with each other to achieve the best possible result within the understanding of this contract. In case of a wedding event we recommend that the Photographer be provided with a helper (For example the best man) who will point out key individuals to be photographed. The Photographer may also require the assistance of the best man in organising family groups. The Clients also agree to give the Photographer sufficient warning of key events at the wedding to give the Photographer time to prepare e.g. Bouquet throwing, cutting the cake, speeches etc.
Please note that not all guests at the event like having their photo taken. In such cases the Photographer will use his discretion but cannot be held responsible for a lack of photos of these people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Schedule:
Our shooting schedule, style of working and experience are designed to achieve a great set of Event photos and video for the Clients, accomplished with good humour and enjoyed by all concerned. Both the Clients and the Photographer therefore agree that punctuality and cheerful cooperation are essential to producing outstanding photographic results. In cases where the wedding does not run on time (for example, extreme lateness by one of the Clients arriving to the church) we cannot guarantee to take our normal set of photos although in such circumstances we will do our absolute best to compensate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paparazzi Event Guests:
All your guests will have digital cameras and all your guests will want to photograph the Clients. In the spirit of cheerful cooperation the Clients agree to give the Photographer precedence over the guests in order to take the photos required for the event services described above. We cannot be held liable for a lack of event photos if guests taking their own photos of the Clients continually interrupt the Photographer work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
House Rules:
Note the Photographer are sometimes limited by rules imposed by registrars, ministers and venue management as to what can and cannot be done. For example some ministers insist that no flash photography is allowed, and others will insist that the Photographer shoot from a specific location. In such circumstances the Clients agree to accept the technical limitations that may be imposed on the equipment used. We advise the Clients to make themselves aware of the rules of the venue concerned and if necessary negotiate with the personnel concerned.
