7. Images

The photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance and apply custom colour grades to images but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials, especially man-made fibres. It is impossible to record digitally the exact colour as seen by the human eye. All images will be adjusted for exposure, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc to the photographer(s) judgement regarding these corrections and the number of images delivered to the client(s) shall be deemed correct. Photoshop / Photoshopping, body / face reshaping, manipulation or any other kind of photo editing is not and cannot be done to any people in any images / photos. For a booking involving a church ceremony or at certain venues, the photographer(s) movements are sometimes restricted by the official in charge. The area from which the photographer is able to cover the ceremony may not be the photographer(s) choice and the photographer(s) cannot accept responsibility for any obstructed view should this be the case. The client understands that the photographer(s) must follow all rules given to them by the person/s facilitating the wedding and are not held liable for failure to deliver should the photographer(s) be told that they are not allowed to take photos during the ceremony. Images are delivered via an online gallery only. It is the clients responsibility to save and back up all images for future use upon delivery.

8. Artistic Licence

9. Hours of Attendance

9.1) The hours booked by the client(s) for the photographer to attend are continuous and total, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
