CONTRACT:
Dan Smith provides a written contract containing these Terms and Conditions and the photographic services to be performed. The contract is to be signed by the client and returned to secure a booking.

PRE-WEDDING CONSULTATION:
The parties agree to a pre-event consultation (allow approx 1 hour) before the wedding day in order to plan and finalise the shooting times, locations, and client’s requests for specific photographs. This consultation should preferably occur between one to four weeks before the wedding.

COOPERATION:
The parties agree to cheerful cooperation and communication for the best possible results and that Dan Smith will make a reasonable, good faith attempt to capture all the required photographs during the event. Dan Smith therefore recommends that the client designates an "event guide" (someone close to the bride or groom) who will point out important individuals and help get them together for any formal photographs.
Dan Smith shall be the exclusive photographer retained by client and will be available for the whole day. Family and friends are permitted to take photographs as long as they do not disturb, disrupt or interfere with photographer’s duties. The photographer has the right to kindly ask the person obstructing to refrain from doing so, in order to carry on their duties. It is a good idea if your guests are aware of this before hand.
Requested photographs will not be possible if the subject is not willing or cooperative.
Any changes made that will affect your photography and the day, timings, venues etc should be notified as soon as possible in writing.
