Wedding Photography Terms and Conditions
-
A booking fee of €100 is payable at the time of booking. This fee is non refundable other than exceptional circumstances. The booking fee is credited towards service fees and is not an additional charge.
-
All remaining fees must be paid in full on or before the day of the wedding.
-
All fees include VAT at prevailing rates.
-
Where a CD/DVD of non-processed images is ordered, no post production is performed on the images. You understand and accept that digital images benefit from a post production process and that this labour intensive process is available at an additional fee. You also understand and accept that images that have been put through a professional post production process may be of a higher artistic quality than those that have not.
-
The number of non processed images supplied on a CD/DVD is typically around 200 and is available for a fee if not already included with a service bundle. The selection of the images for this is at the sole discretion of the photographer.
-
Digital images are supplied at 240 dpi, in sRGB colour profile and will print up to 8x12 inches (A4) in size.
-
Images in an album are processed and only these processed digital images are included with album service bundles. Images that are not in the album may be purchased as unprocessed or processed on payment of an additional fee. Different fees apply to images that have been processed to reflect the extra overheads.
-
Images vary in subject matter and may include background and filler shots. The style of the wedding photographs will vary from wedding to wedding. Typical coverage involves a combination of posed images and informal images. Please give the Belle Photographer any reasonable specific requests, but please note that due to the vagaries of the weather and the willingness of subjects it may not be possible to capture all the images requested. The Belle Photographer shall be granted artistic licence in relation to the poses photographed and the locations used. The Photographer’s judgement regarding the locations/poses and number of images taken is final and shall be deemed correct.
-
Only photographs taken by the Belle Photographer will be included in the album.
-
The album is normally collected from the Belle Photographer’s studio, but delivery arrangements may be made upon request and on the understanding that the cost of the delivery is borne by the customer.
-
Where times of events are shown, these times are approximate as delays can occur. Couples should confirm an approximate schedule of events with the Belle Photographer who will be flexible in the approach to reasonable over runs and reschedules.
-
Only the Belle Photographer is permitted to use cameras, lights or any other property owned by Belle. Guests are welcome to take photographs with their own cameras provided that they do not interfere with the Belle Photographer. Repeated interference by guests can be problematic and can interrupt the schedule of events. Guests who persist in disrupting the photographs will be asked to stop. Guests are expected to comply with reasonable requests from the Belle Photographer.
-
The Belle Photographer will not take photographs with cameras or other equipment belonging to guests.
-
In the unlikely event of any complaints, the couple should raise the issue in writing within 21 days from the date of receipt of images. In the unlikely event of an unresolved complaint the couple may request the Irish Professional Photographers Association to mediate but only on the basis that its decision shall be final and binding upon both parties.
-
In the unlikely event of a total photographic failure or cancellation of this contract by either party or in any other circumstance the liability of one party to the other shall be limited to the total value of the contract. Neither party shall be liable for indirect or consequential loss.
-
The due performance of this contract is subject to alteration or cancellation by either party owing to any cause beyond their control as in force majeure or Act of God.
-
Copyright of all images taken by the Belle Photographer remains with Belle at all times. The licence given with the digital images allows the couple to distribute and print the images freely without charge to friends and family for personal purposes only. Commercial use of the jpegs is prohibited under this licence.
-
You agree to allow me to use some of the images captured on the day in studio, web site, portfolio, literature, display areas, exhibitions, competitions, advertising or slide shows for Belle promotional purposes. I agree not to sell or give images to third parties for commercial purposes without your permission.

A note on terms and conditions
These terms and conditions are intended to manage the expectations of the couple and me, Brendan Lyon, the Belle Wedding Photographer. They exist in order to avoid any misunderstandings on the day and to resolve any disagreements. I want to be honest and up front about my terms of service. I don’t believe in deceiving my customers or over selling my coverage. I strongly believe that you should know exactly what you are getting for your hard earned money and I take pleasure in providing quality emotional art.
Your wedding is a special day and it should be fun and memorable for all the right reasons. I hope that my photographs and albums will provide a treasured reminder of the romance and beautiful emotion of your special day.
I agree to the terms and conditions above
