• Venue Guidelines, Officiant and Responsibility of Clients
Where photography takes place on private property or at designated venues, the photographer agrees to obey any internal guidelines, policies or contractual rules established by the location owner or manager that have legal authority.
For a booking involving a church ceremony or at certain venues, the photographer’s movements are sometimes restricted by the official in charge or by the rules and guidelines of the location(s) and site management. The area from which the photographer is able to cover the ceremony may not be the photographer’s choice and the photographer cannot accept responsibility for any obstructed view should this be the case. The clients agree to accept the technical results of their imposition on the photographer.
Negotiation with the officials for moderation of guidelines is the clients responsibility; the photographer will offer technical recommendations only.
• Photographer Guidance and Timeline
The Photographer agrees to provide best efforts guidance and recommendations to the clients regarding an estimated wedding day timeline and shooting schedule. This is to help facilitate coverage of important events and moments. However, the Photographer cannot guarantee adherence to any set timeline due circumstances outside their control such as delays, weather events, issues with vendors/vendue, or changes in the clients’ plans.
While the Photographer will work diligently to follow the estimated timeline where possible, shifts or limitations may be required at their reasonable discretion. The clients understand that unforeseen factors can alter any planned schedule and agree to cooperate and be flexible to maximize photo opportunities that arise.
So long as the Photographer makes professional efforts to follow client guidance and capture all key aspects of the wedding within the contracted time, they will not be held responsible for any timeline changes, absences from certain events, or failures to strictly adhere to estimated timing due to matters beyond their control. The clients accept this limitation of liability as inherent to the nature of wedding photography.
• Coordination with Videographer
If the clients choose to separately hire a wedding videographer in addition to the Photographer, they must notify the Photographer of this at the time of booking. The clients agree to facilitate proper introduction and coordination between the Photographer and videographer well in advance of the wedding date.
The clients understand that videography needs adequate time and space to properly film certain events compared to still photography. They therefore agree to reasonably adjust any estimated photography timelines, as necessary, to accommodate simultaneous coverage by both vendors without disruptions. This may require shorter individual time blocks for photography at certain locations than initially planned.
The clients are responsible for clearly communicating their video needs to both vendors and resolving any scheduling conflicts or spacing issues that arise. If proper coordination is not facilitated through no fault of the Photographer, they cannot be held responsible for any inability to cover certain moments due to simultaneous filming occurring. The clients accept this limitation as part of booking multiple visual vendors to document their wedding day.
Cooperation between all parties is required to successfully capture both photos and video with the time available on the wedding date. The clients agree to take the lead in ensuring their vendors work seamlessly together.
• Coordination with Wedding Planner
If the clients choose to separately hire a wedding planner, they must notify the Photographer of this at the time of booking. For any parts of the wedding photography planning or day-of coordination, the clients agree to designate the Photographer as the primary lead vendor regarding timeline, location selections, and posing guidance.
The clients understand the Photographer has expertise in effectively capturing memories through photos. Therefore, while wedding planners provide valuable general logistics support, the clients agree to primarily follow the Photographer’s recommendations on all matters specifically concerning photographic coverage, such as shot lists, lighting decisions, group positioning etc.
If a third party planner offers input on these photographic elements that differs from the Photographer without discussing it with them first, the planner has overstepped their defined role. In such instances, the clients commit to siding with the Photographer’s counsel on all issues directly impacting picture taking.
Ultimately, the clients are responsible for clear communication between all relevant vendors to ensure the Photographer’s vision and direction are properly facilitated on the wedding day. They agree the Photographer’s guidance on photo matters will take precedence in any planning discrepancies that arise.
This allows each vendor to focus on their individual expertise area while providing accountability that the photography aspect receives appropriate priority and support.
If the clients override the Photographer’s advice and quality of pictures is materially affected, the Photographer’s liability is limited per the terms of the contract.
• Coordination with Other Vendors
The photographer commits to reasonably coordinating photography schedules and needs with other contracted wedding vendors to maximize coverage of events.
However, the photographer cannot guarantee capturing each moment if not properly notified by clients or vendors of any changes to agreed plans or overlapping vendor priorities on site.
Nor will the photographer be liable for missing photos if reasonable coordination attempts are undermined by vendors failing to cooperate with photographic requirements or overstepping photographer’s guidance without discussion.
The onus is on clients to properly facilitate smooth collaboration between all parties and resolve any disputes that arise. The photographer’s role is advisory support to help optimize photography logistics.
• Makeup/Attire Guidance
The photographer agrees to provide best efforts recommendations to clients regarding hair, makeup and wardrobe styling suited for photographs. However, all final choices remain at clients’ discretion.
The photographer shall not be held responsible for any images that do not meet client expectations if guidance about photo-friendly styling is not followed. Clients accept the photographer’s expertise in this area and any liability associated with disregarding advice.

Under no circumstances is the photographer responsible for reimbursing clients or providing additional compensation for delays, reschedules or incomplete orders directly caused by acts of God or other forces beyond human control that damage photography equipment despite existing backups.
Clients acknowledge that maintaining a range of professional cameras, lighting and support devices involves large monetary investment by the photographer. This policy is in place to help protect that investment and demonstrate the photographer’s commitment to client service through redundant systems.
