These terms and conditions for photography services is between Enda Guerin, hereafter referred to as
“Photographer”, and the undersigned, hereafter referred to as “Client”.
In consideration of this arrangement between the parties, as per outlined below, and for other goods and valuable consideration, the parties
now agree as follows:
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Photographer’s artistic coverage in hours along with other deliverables are defined
under the “Whats included section in their packages”.
Please review the details carefully on the ‘Order Summary’ section of the Booking
page where this contact is signed. By signing you accept the terms of the
Package’s deliverables, policies and conditions.
The Photographer does NOT guarantee long-term archival of the digital files and
will not be held responsible if loss occurs 1 year after the event/session.
DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT
Upon signature, the Photographer reserves the time and date agreed upon, and
will not make other reservations for that time and date. For this reason, the Client
shall make a deposit payment to book the date with Photographer. This deposit
payment is non-refundable, even if the date is changed or the event is cancelled for
any reason, including acts of god, fire, pandemic-related restrictions, and extreme
weather. The deposit fee is to be paid at the time of parties signing this contract
and is applied towards the photography package balance upon completion of this
contract.
The Client(s) understand and agree that the remaining balance owed for the
photography package described in their contract, if it has not already been fully
paid by the deposit fee, is due on the date of the event.
CANCELLATION: If the Client should cancel the event/session for any reason with at least 30 days
notice provided, the Photographer agrees to refund all money paid, excluding the
deposit fee. If cancelling this Contract, the Client must notify the Photographer in
writing by email. To consider a date change, the Photographer must first receive a
written release of the current contracted date, which will null and void the original
contract. If the Client needs to change the event date, all money paid will transfer
to the new date per a newly written and signed contract, if that date is available for
the Photographer. The new date must be within six months of the original agreed-
upon date, or the new contract will be subject to the Photographer's current rates,
if they have changed. If the new date is unavailable with the Photographer, the
contract will be cancelled and the deposit will not be refunded.
LIMITATION OF SERVICES
A meal is required for the Photographer for events 6 hours or longer. If no meal is
provided, it is understood that the Photographer will require a break to leave the
event/session at some point to purchase a meal.
This Contract is not to be construed as an employment agreement in any way. The
Photographer functions as an Independent Contractor.
LIABILITY OF PHOTOGRAPHER
Although the utmost care will be taken, the Photographer may be unable to deliver
the photos due to unforeseen circumstances such as fire, casualty, act of god,
illness, or any other cause beyond the control of the Photographer. In this case, the
Photographer shall return all money paid and have no further liability with respect
to this contract. This limitation of liability shall also apply in the event that
photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera or
memory card malfunction, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part
of the Photographer. In the event that the Photographer fails to perform for any
other reason, the Photographer shall not be liable for any amount in excess of the
value of the Client's contract price stated herein.
ARTISTIC LICENSE
The Photographer shall be granted artistic license in relation to the poses
photographed and the locations used. The Photographer’s judgment regarding the
location, poses and number of photographs taken shall be deemed correct.
Photographs taken during the course of the event/session will be at the discretion
of the Photographer, although every effort will be made to comply with the Client’s
requirements and vision. If more than one subject is involved in the event/session,
the Photographer shall endeavor to photograph all individuals as requested by the
Client at some point, but no responsibility will be taken by the Photographer on the
occasion of leaving somebody out. The Photographer shall also endeavor to
capture all the moments throughout the event/session as they occur. However, because of the fluid nature of events/sessions, some moments might not be
recorded, or not recorded for logistical reasons.
VENUES, FAMILY/FRIENDS, AND PHOTOGRAPHER RESTRICTIONS
For a booking involving a church ceremony or at certain venues, the official in
charge sometimes restricts the Photographer’s movements. The area from which
the Photographer is able to cover the event/ceremony may not be the
Photographer’s choice and the Photographer cannot accept responsibility for any
obstructed view should this be the case. The use of artificial lighting may be
restricted or prohibited. The photographing of parts or even all of the event/
ceremony may be restricted or prohibited. The Client(s) are strongly advised to
check with the appropriate official(s) before booking the date and submitting this
contract.
If the Client is hiring the Photographer for a wedding/elopement, family and friends
will be permitted to photograph at the wedding as long as they do not interfere
with the Photographer’s duties and do not photograph poses arranged by the
Photographers, due to reasons of the Photographer delivering the quality of
images as expected.
EXCLUSIVITY
Photographer is hereby retained as the sole and exclusive professional
photographer to perform photographic services contained herein. The Client shall
take any necessary action to ensure that the Photographer is not hindered nor
harmed in performing services for the Client. Any breach of this agreement can
constitute a reason for non-completion of the job with no liability to the
Photographer.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Copyright Law assigns the copyright of the images to the Photographer, and
all images shall remain the sole property of Photographer. The Photographer
retains for life the right to display any photograph covered by this Contract and to
generally promote the business in advertising, brochures, magazine articles,

such material, providing that the images used are used lawfully and without
damage to the Client.
The Photographer hereby grants to the Client, a limited, non-exclusive, non-
transferable, royalty-free license to reproduce, display and/or distribute the
images, provided the Client complies with the condition that all such reproductions
and/or displays are not intended for a commercial venture.
Although all equipment is checked regularly and reasonable steps are taken to
ensure backup equipment is available, the Photographer will not be responsible for photographs that are not produced due to technical failure, either at the shooting
or processing stage.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS (CONT’D)
Due to a variety of lighting conditions and the limitations of digital sensors, some
colors may alter throughout a set of photographs. Please note that certain colors
do not reproduce exactly in print. Prints made at different times, in different sizes,
or printed from different print labs may be variable in color balance.
Due to the limitations of computer monitors, it is understood that images may
appear differently according to the specification of each monitor and prints will not
necessarily match images rendered on any particular computer monitor.
GUARANTEED DELIVERY
The Photographer agrees to have the contracted order for the Client’s photographs
completed within 8 weeks from the day of the event/session.
