ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This agreement contains the entire understanding
between Adept Wedding Photography and the CLIENT. It supersedes all prior
and simultaneous agreements between the parties. The only way to add or
change this agreement is to do so in writing, signed by all the parties. If
the parties want to waive one provision of this agreement, that does not
mean that any other provision is also waived. The party against whom a
waiver is sought to be effective must have signed a waiver in writing.
RESERVATION: A signed contract and reservation fee are required to
reserve the specified coverage.
PRE-EVENT CONSULTATION: The parties agree to a pre-event consultation
two to three weeks before the event date in order to finalize the actual
shooting times, locations, and CLIENT'S request list (in writing) for
specific photographs. The bride and or groom agree to set aside at least one
hour of time that ends 1/2 an hour before the ceremony commencement of the
wedding and a 30-minute time frame afterward for photographs that cannot be
obtained during the wedding. If the bride's or groom's late arrival prevents
a full hour from occurring the photographer shall not be held liable for
failure to take desired photographs.
COOPERATION: The parties agree to cheerful cooperation and
communication for the best possible result within the definition of this
assignment. Adept Wedding Photography recommends that CLIENT designate an
"event guide" to point out important individuals for informal or candid
photographs to the photographer during the wedding that they wish to have
photographed. The photographer will not be held accountable for not
photographing desired people if there is no one to assist in identifying
people or gathering people for photograph's. Adept Wedding Photography is
not responsible if key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during
photography sessions or for missed images due to details not revealed to
Adept Wedding Photography.
SHOOTING TIME / ADDITIONS: The photography schedule and selected
methodology are designed to accomplish the goals and wishes of the CLIENT in
a manner enjoyed by all parties. CLIENT and Adept Wedding Photography agree
that cheerful cooperation and punctuality are therefore essential to that
purpose. Shooting commences at the scheduled start time.
HOUSE RULES: The photographer is limited by the guidelines of the
ceremony official or reception site management. CLIENT agrees to accept the
technical results of their imposition on the photographer. Negotiation with
the officials for moderation of guidelines is CLIENT's responsibility; Adept
Wedding Photography will offer technical recommendations only.
FILM and COPYRIGHTS: Until final payment for services
rendered is made, the photographs produced by Adept Wedding Photography are
protected by Federal Copyright Law (all rights reserved) and may not be
reproduced in any manner without Adept Wedding Photography's explicitly
written permission. Upon final payment by the CLIENT, limited
copyright ownership of the resulting images will be transferred to the
CLIENT under the following conditions:
The negatives and or slides are the property of CLIENT for personal use and
for the purposes of the reproduction and giving of photographs to friends
and relatives.
The Client must obtain written permission from and compensate Adept Wedding
Photography prior to the CLIENT or its friends and relatives publishing or
selling the photographs for profit.
EXHIBITION: Requests for specific negatives or slides to be used by
Adept Wedding Photography may be requested at a future time. CLIENT grants
Adept Wedding Photography permission to display selected images resulting
from this assignment as an example of Adept Wedding’s Photography work and
for entrance into photographic competitions and release all claims to
profits that may arise from use of images.
MODEL RELEASE. The CLIENT hereby grants to Adept Wedding Photography
and its legal representatives and assigns, the irrevocable and unrestricted
right to use and publish photographs of the CLIENT or in which the CLIENT
may be included, for editorial, trade, advertising and any other purpose and
in any manner and medium; to alter the same without restriction; and to
copyright the same. The CLIENT hereby releases Adept Wedding Photography and
its legal representatives and assigns from all claims and liability relating
to said photographs.
LIMIT OF LIABILITY: In the unlikely event that the photographer is
injured or becomes too ill to photograph the event, Adept Wedding
Photography will make every effort to secure a replacement photographer. If
the situation should occur and a suitable replacement is not found,
responsibility and liability is limited to the return of all payments
received for the event package. Adept Wedding Photography takes the utmost
care with respect to exposure, transportation, and processing the

stolen, or destroyed for reasons within or beyond Adept Wedding
Photography's control, Adept Wedding Photography liability is limited to the
return of all payments received for the event package. The limit of
liability for a partial loss of originals shall be a prorated amount of the
exposures lost based on the percentage of total number of originals.
SECURITY DEPOSITS: In the event of cancellation, the security deposit
paid is non-refundable. It shall be liquidated damages to Adept Wedding
Photography in the event of a breach of contract by CLIENT. The CLIENT shall
also be responsible for payment for any Adept Wedding Photography materials
charges incurred up to time of cancellation.
