WEDDINGS - Please note all terms and services above apply to weddings and events, the below terms are more clarity points that relate directly to these film types.

18.1 Pre-Wedding Consultations

We require direct consultations with all couples in advance of the wedding day. The first happens at the time of enquiry. The Clients will outline broadly what is required and the Videographer will advise on planning, logistics and timings where needed. We encourage Clients to attend a meeting, phone call or Skype call for an additional meeting closer to the date of the wedding (approx. 6 – 8 weeks) to iron out the remaining details.

18.2 Cooperation

The Client and the Videographer consent to happily cooperating and communicating with each other to achieve the best possible result within the understanding of this contract. In cases where there is no wedding planner, we recommend that the Videographer be provided with a helper (usually the best man/maid of honor or a parent) who could, on request, point out key individuals to be filmed. The Videographer may also require the assistance of the helper in organizing family groups and where necessary announcing key events such as cake cutting, first dance, etc. The Client also agrees to give the Videographer sufficient warning of key events at the wedding to give the Videographer time to prepare e.g. Bouquet throwing, cutting the cake, speeches etc. Please note that not all guests at weddings like having their video taken. In such cases the Videographer will use his/her discretion but cannot be held responsible for a lack of filming of these people.

18.3 The Schedule

Our shooting schedule, style of working and experience are designed to achieve great wedding videos for the Client, accomplished with good humor and enjoyed by all concerned. Both the Client and the Videographers therefore agree that punctuality and cheerful cooperation are essential to producing outstanding videography results. In cases where the wedding does not run on time, we cannot guarantee to take our normal amount of film although in such circumstances we will do our absolute best to compensate.

18.4 Wedding Guests

All your guests will have digital cameras and all your guests will want to photograph/video the Clients. In the spirit of cheerful cooperation the Clients agree to give the Videographers precedence over the guests in order to take the videos required for the wedding services described above. We cannot be held liable for a lack of wedding video if guests taking their own photo/videos of the Clients continually interrupt the Videographer’s work.

18.5 House Rules

Note the Videographers are sometimes limited by rules imposed by registrars, officiants, venue management, etc. as to what can and cannot be done. For example some officiants will insist that the Videographers shoot from a specific location. In such circumstances the Clients agree to accept the technical limitations that may be imposed on the equipment used. We advise the Clients to make themselves aware of the rules of the venue concerned and if necessary, negotiate with the personnel concerned.

18.6 Video Release

The Clients grant the Videographer and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns, the irrevocable and unlimited consent to use the Clients’ Cinematic Highlights Video for editorial and marketing purposes on the Videographer’s website and video hosting platform(s); to alter the Clients’ Cinematic Highlights Video without restriction for these purposes; and to copyright the images contained therein. The Videographer will not post on social media or otherwise publish the Client’s Videos without the Client’s prior consent. The Clients hereby release the Videographer and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns from all liability and claims in connection with the Videographer’s use of the Clients’ Cinematic Highlights Video in accordance with this clause. The Clients also hereby release the Videographer and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns from all liability and claims in connection with any other party’s use of any of the Clients wedding videos where that use is outside of the Videographers control.

18.7 Artistic Production

The Clients have contracted the services of the Videographer under the knowledge that the finished videos will be a product of the artistic tastes of the Videographer, which are personal and subjective. We encourage Clients to discuss with us any specific video requests before the wedding day and we will try and accommodate these requests as best as possible. However, our shooting style and process may not allow for all or any of these requests to make the finished video. Clients agree that the Videographers decision is final in respect to what qualifies as a finished video in terms of duration, content, creative and the final cut. We do offer extended versions if the client would like more footage or people in film. Once the film has been delivered, all change requests must be made within 7 days of delivery and must be first agreed with the Videographers as acceptable. Package inclusive changes are limited to 2 free rounds of edits. Any additional working hours which the Videographers agree to will be charged at the prevailing Videographers overtime rate or package rate.
