Any unauthorized copying of photographs constitutes an infringement of this copyright and Agreement.
Crabtree Photography shall only make reproductions for the Client, or for the Photographer’s portfolio, samples, self-promotions, entry in photographic contests or art exhibitions, editorial use, or for display within or outside the Photographer’’’’s studio, including display on Crabtree Photography’’s website. If Crabtree Photography wishes to make other uses, they will do so only with written permission of the client.
Client’s Usage: The Client is obtaining prints for personal use only. The Client shall not sell or authorize any reproductions thereof by parties other than Crabtree Photography. If the client obtains a print for an announcement of the wedding or said ceremony, Crabtree Photography authorizes the client to reproduce the print in this manner. In this event the Client shall request that the publication run a credit for Crabtree Photography adjacent to the photograph, but will not be held responsible in the event of media negligence.
House Rules: The photographer is limited by the guidelines of the ceremony official or the reception site management. 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; Crabtree Photography will offer technical recommendations only.
Guest Cooperation: The Client is responsible for the conduct of their guests. The Client will direct all other service providers (florist, DJ, caterer, etc.) to provide any needed information and cooperation to the photographer. Coordination with other service providers is necessary to complete all the photography sessions as scheduled. The Client should share the photography schedule with other service providers to make sure that there is no conflict in times. In addition, events during the wedding day should be planned to make the best use of time from all vendors. Crabtree Photography will not tolerate verbally or physically abusive behaviour, nor will it share its time or compete with guest photographers for the attention of the subjects. Unchecked guest conduct that interferes with photography may seriously affect the quality of the photographs taken and increase the number of times photos must be re-taken. If The Client is unable to control the conduct of their guests, resulting in an unacceptable degree of misconduct, or if the conduct of any of their guests damages the equipment of the photographer, it will result in the early or immediate departure of the photographer. The Client understands that in such an event, no refunds will be granted.
Failure to Perform: If Crabtree Photography cannot perform this Agreement due to fire, strike, or other casualty, act of God, or any other cause (e.g sudden illness/injury/victim of crime/death of immediate family member) beyond its control, then Crabtree Photography shall return the monies paid by the Client in respect to that specific failure, and shall have no further liability with respect to the Agreement. This limitation on liability shall also apply in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera malfunction, or otherwise lost without fault on the part of CrabtreePhotography. In the event that Crabtree Photography fails to perform for any other reason, the Photographer shall not be liable for any amount in excess of the retail value of the Client’’s order.
Photographer: In the event of Photographer’s illness or scheduling conflicts Crabtree Photography may substitute another photographer to take the photographs with the Clients approval. In the event of such a substitution, Crabtree Photography warrants that the photographer shall be a competent professional.
The care and feeding of your Photographer(s): The photographer(s) will be spending a lot of time with you. Depending on the package, from three to eight hours, or longer. Please discuss vendor meals with your caterer. Meals are best provided at time Bride and Groom are eating. (You don’t want to be photographed eating and this is a good time for the photographer(s) to take a break.) If for some reason you do not want the responsibility of making sure the photographer(s) get something to eat, please let them know at least a week before the wedding so the photographer(s) will be prepared to bring something.
Photographs: Weddings are dynamic and fast moving. While Crabtree Photography will make the best effort possible, we do not guarantee that everyone will be photographed, nor do we guarantee the exact number of images of any one person at the wedding, or the exact total photograph count.
Inherent Qualities: The Client is aware that color dyes in photography may fade or discolor over time due to the inherent qualities of dyes, and the Client releases Crabtree Photography from any liability for any claims whatsoever based upon fading or discoloration due to such inherent qualities.
