[PHOTOGRAPHER] will supply me with the following:

● [PHOTOGRAPHER] as my wedding photographers on [DATE] between the hours of

[TIME] and [TIME], providing me with unlimited photography, subject to external variables

beyond their control (e.g., weather, location/venue restrictions, light availability, scheduling

complications due to lateness/willingness of individuals).

● Basic editing (contrast, toning, cropping, exposure) and delivery of high resolution

digital files, no smaller than 3,000 pixels long edge, in JPEG format, within 30 days of the

wedding day, on USB storage.

2.PAYMENT

I, [CLIENT FULL NAME], agree to pay a total of [AMOUNT] to [PHOTOGRAPHER] for their

professional services. I understand that [AMOUNT] of the balance represents a retainer fee that

gives me exclusivity to their services on [DATE].

Upon acceptance of this agreement, I will pay Angus Porter Photographer [AMOUNT] to secure

their services and [AMOUNT] upon collection of my wedding photos.

I agree to pay for any additional photography coverage required on [WEDDING DATE] and

acknowledge that a fee of [RATE] will be charged for any overtime requirements. I agree to settle

the balance upon collection of my wedding photos.

3.CHANGE OF DATE AND/OR VENUE

I agree to notify [PHOTOGRAPHER] by phone/email at my earliest convenience should a change of

date and/or venue occur. In situations where the new venue requires substantial travel, I agree to

pay for reasonable logistical expenses.

Furthermore, I understand that [PHOTOGRAPHER] may be unavailable on an alternate date. In

such circumstances, I agree to liaise with [PHOTOGRAPHER] to find a mutually agreeable solution. I

accept that I may forfeit some/all of monies paid.

4.CANCELLATION

Upon acceptance of this agreement and initial down payment, a cooling-off period of two (2)

business days is allowed for any change-of-mind. After this period, I accept that no refunds for

change-of-mind will apply.


Should the event be cancelled, I agree to notify [PHOTOGRAPHER] at my earliest convenience. In

certain situations, [PHOTOGRAPHER] may return any and/or all monies paid, subject to

[PHOTOGRAPHER]’s discretion.

4.CANCELLATION (Cont.)

Should the event be cancelled within three (3) months of the wedding day, I understand that

[PHOTOGRAPHER] may keep any monies paid as a result of declining other paid assignments.

In the unlikely event that [PHOTOGRAPHER] cancels on me, all monies paid will be fully refunded

to my nominated bank account within three (3) business days, accompanied with a list of

recommended substitutes.

5.COPYRIGHT

Under Australian Copyright Law, I understand that I hold the Copyright to my wedding photos as

the commissioning client for the resultant creative work. However, I agree to transfer Copyright

ownership over to [PHOTOGRAPHER] in exchange for ownership of the digital files and a non-

expiring personal license to print, duplicate, and share our wedding photos.

6.PRIVACY

I give permission to [PHOTOGRAPHER] to use images from my wedding in the private domain (i.e.,

as samples of work during in-person consultations, sample albums, for instructional purposes etc)

[PHOTOGRAPHER] will require my written consent before publishing any images from my wedding

in public domain (e.g., website, blogs, bridal magazines, social media etc).

At any time, I may request [PHOTOGRAPHER] to take down any images from my wedding that had

previously been allowed to be displayed in public and/or private domain.

Therefore, I acknowledge that [PHOTOGRAPHER] has one of the nicest privacy policies known to

the wedding industry.

7.MEALS + OHS + BREAKS

I understand that for safety reasons, [PHOTOGRAPHER] (and contractors) will not remove their

enclosed footwear.

I agree to feed [PHOTOGRAPHER] a delicious dinner meal complete with dessert. I will do my best

to request that the meal will be served at the same time as my guests and maybe sneak in a slice

of cake.
I understand that [PHOTOGRAPHER] (and contractors) are humans who may require breaks from

time to time. Therefore, I agree to allow them to, from time to time, gaze zombie-like into their

smartphones whilst leaning casually against a beam/wall.

Similarly, I agree to instruct my reception venue to provide them with seating where

[PHOTOGRAPHER] (and contractors) may store their equipment safely.

8.ILLNESS/INJURY

In the unlikely event that [PHOTOGRAPHER] falls gravely ill and/or is incapacitated prior to and/or

on [WEDDING DATE], I understand that all reasonable efforts will be made to find a suitable

replacement photographer. I agree to terminate this agreement upon rejection of the substitute

photographer and acknowledge that a full refund of all monies paid will be processed within ten

(10) business days.

7.HARASSMENT

I understand that in the event that [PHOTOGRAPHER] (and contractors) experience any

inappropriate, threatening, hostile or offensive behaviour from any guest or person at the

wedding (including, but not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances and verbal or physical conduct

of a sexual nature) that [PHOTOGRAPHER] (and contractors) may request the offending person(s)

to be removed from the premises immediately or leave the event completely.

I have read, understood, and agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
As such, I, [CLIENT NAME] agree to engage the professional photography services of

[PHOTOGRAPHER], on [WEDDING DATE].
