COPYRIGHT
The 1998 copyright, designs and patents act assigns copyright to White-Hall Photography. it is contrary to the act to copy or allow to be copied photographically/electronically or by and other means an image created as part of this contract without the permission of the photographer in writing, Any breaking of seals/downloading of images electronically without permission will presume a breach of contract.
EXCLUSIVITY
The photographer will be the sole professional (still) photographer at the venue/s specified. I do however positively encourage family, friends and other guests to take photographs throughout the day.
IMAGES
All image sizes are nominal. 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/digitally the exact colour as seen by the human eye.
CREATIVE LICENCE
White-Hall Photography shall be granted creative and artistic licence in relation to the choice of locations and poses used. The client understands and accepts that the photographic coverage will be as the photographer’s professional expertise determines and that no one photograph will be deemed more important than another. Special requests are not binding instruction, although every effort is made to comply with the clients wishes. I will do my best to honour requested photographs but do not guarantee any specific picture nor incorporate any specific background, location or group arrangement due to changes of weather and the availability and willingness of subjects.
DISPLAY
The client hereby allows the photographer to display any images included in this contract in their studio, portfolio, exhibitions and advertising. No use of the images will be made by the photographer for other commercial reason except with the written permission of the client.
FORCE MAJOR

B) The photographer has other professional photographers who will be contacted by their family in event that they are nit able to attend your booking due to clause a.
C) In the event of cancellation by the photographer (although all attempts will be made arrange for another photographer to be present – see clause b) The photographer liability shall be limited to a full refund of any deposits and fees paid.

A) Cancellation after 14days of booking and more than six complete months to go until contract date – £300.00 non-refundable deposit.
