By paying the required deposit, the date booked with the photographer is made on the basis that you have read and agreed our terms and conditions:
TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Deposit
The deposit secures the time and services of the Photographer for the wedding and is non-refundable or transferable in the event of cancellation, it being the agreed loss suffered by the photographer due to cancellation. Cancellation less than 12 weeks before the wedding will result in the payment in full. All cancellations must be in writing. Weddings that are postponed to a later date will retain the fee as long as the photographer can re-schedule for the new date and time.
Payments
Following payment of the deposit, balance of fees due are to be paid four weeks prior to the wedding. No photographs will be delivered until all payments due have been paid in full. Payment for additional images is to be made when they are ordered.
Display

Images
All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer/s 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.

Licence
