  • In the unlikely event of photographic equipment failure, the limit of liability for a partial loss of originals shall be proportional to the amount of the photographs lost based on the percentage of total number of originals.
     

  • The primary photographer for the wedding will be Matthew Hibbert of Matt Ryle Photography. In the unlikely circumstance of the photographer being unable to attend the event, liability is limited to a full refund of monies paid for the wedding day it self (not including engagement shoots that have taken place under the same contract). A substitute photographer of high qualifications may be sent to fulfil the obligations of the photographer, but the client has the right to refuse or accept this and may instead terminate this agreement and receive a full refund of all monies paid.
     

  • • CREATIVE LICENCE: The photographer shall be granted creative and artistic license in relation to the choice of
    locations and poses used. Judgment on photographic style and the number of photographs taken and delivered shall be deemed correct. The client acknowledges that they are familiar with the photographer’s portfolio and are requesting services with knowledge of the photographer’s style. The photographer’s work is constantly evolving and the photos may be different from photographs taken by the photographer in the past. The photographer shall use his personal, artistic judgment to create images consistent with his vision of the event, which may be different from the client’s. Accordingly, the client acknowledges that the photographs shall not be subject to rejection on the basis of taste or aesthetic criteria.
     

  • • The photographer will endeavor to take all the photographs agreed. However, because a wedding is an uncontrolled event, the photographer cannot guarantee delivery of any specifically requested image(s), especially if timings or events are altered without our knowledge. Due to changes of the weather and the availability and willingness of subjects the photographer will do their best to honour requested photographs but cannot undertake to guarantee any specific picture nor incorporate any specific background, location or group arrangement.
     

  • • During a wedding the photographer will automatically re-take any photograph where they have seen that someone has blinked, but it is impossible to guarantee this. The more people in the photograph, the more difficult it is to see everyone.
     

  • • The photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching. Owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials, especially man-made fibres, it is sometimes impossible to record on film/digital media the exact colour of materials as seen by the human eye.
     

  • • Any additional editing and/or retouching requested by the client will be subject to an hourly rate of £40 per hour. Retouching includes, but is not limited to, additional skin softening/smoothing, correction of hair/makeup/clothing, swapping a face from one image to another, environmental effects, reflections in glasses, teeth whitening, brightening of eyes, and bodily enhancements.
     

  • • HOUSE RULES: The guidelines of the ceremony official and the reception site management limit the photographer. The client agrees to accept the technical results of their imposition on the photographer. Negotiation with the officials for moderation of guidelines is the client’s responsibility; the Photographer will offer technical recommendations only.

  • • EXCLUSIVITY: The photographer shall be the sole professional (still) photographer(s) at the venues specified.
     

  • • DELIVERY: Once a set of high resolution digital files have been delivered, the responsibility to preserve the images passes to the client, and the decision whether the photographer will keep a copy or not will be entirely at the photographer’s discretion.
