- On signing of this agreement by both parties, the photographer will reserve the time agreed upon and will not make another reservation for the specific time frame. For this reason, all deposits are non-refundable even if the date is changed or if the wedding becomes cancelled for any reason. As a courtesy the photographer may choose to refund the deposit if he is able to book another wedding for that date.
- I do allow other family members and friends of yours to take pictures during the wedding. However, under some circumstances having other “photographers” at the wedding can be a distraction to myself, the bride and groom, and the wedding guests. Because of my photojournalistic style of wedding photography, I am skilled in remaining unobtrusive, and I use that to capture the most authentic moments possible. Please be aware that this may not be the same for other photography enthusiasts or photographers that you have taking pictures at your event. I leave it up to your discretion whether or not you will allow other photographers to shoot at your wedding, but I can not guarantee the same quality of images at a wedding where another photographer is getting in the way during important and meaningful parts of the wedding. Usually this can be avoided by explaining to any other photographers that you are getting all of the full resolution images that I shoot at your wedding, so photographing the same exact situations will end up with redundant images.
- If the photographer cannot perform this agreement in whole or part due to a cause beyond the control of the parties, (such as illness or injury), then the photographer will return all fees to the client(s) but shall have no further liability with respect to this agreement. This limitation on liability shall also apply in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera malfunction, lost in the mail, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part of the photographer.
-I encourage every bride and groom to make a posed shot list. This is just a list of family members and friends that the bride and groom would like a posed shot with. It can help with all of the confusion of the wedding day to have this planned out in advance. Please also include any other specific shots that you would like us to take on this list that you would think we would not normally think of (ie. a meaningful handmade item). Although it is not guaranteed that any specific shot will be taken, we will do our best to get as many of these shots as possible, in addition to what we would normally shoot. For an accurate example of the images we would normally shoot, visit our online gallery with many of our previous weddings here: www.kqwedphoto.com/portfolio/
