Wedding Photography & Videography Agreement
This agreement sets out how Taylor Burton Weddings and you will work together, including the services, coverage, deliverables, payment terms and practical arrangements for your wedding. It is designed to give us a shared understanding and help avoid misunderstandings. Think of it as your document as much as ours.
Please read it alongside your accepted quote, which records the specific services and deliverables you have booked. If anything is unclear, please get in touch before accepting. We want you to feel happy and confident about what to expect, so take your time and ask us any questions.
Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
1. PARTIES AND BOOKING DETAILS
This agreement is between Chad Konik, ABN 62 698 168 890, trading as Taylor Burton Weddings, referred to in this agreement as “Taylor Burton Weddings”, and the clients named in the accepted quote or booking form.
The accepted quote will record the clients’ details, wedding date and locations, booked services, coverage hours, deliverables, total price, payment dates, approved expenses and any special arrangements.
2. SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES
Taylor Burton Weddings will provide the services and deliverables listed in the accepted quote.
Only items specifically listed in the quote are included. Full ceremony or speeches recordings, separate audio files, additional films, raw footage, unedited photographs, albums, prints and extra coverage are not included unless the quote says they are.
The quote should describe each video deliverable clearly. Unless a separate ceremony or speeches film is listed, footage or audio from those parts of the day may be used in the standard edited film, but a separate full length recording is not included.
Any changes to the services, coverage hours, deliverables or price must be agreed in writing by both parties.
3. ACCEPTANCE AND BOOKING CONFIRMATION
The clients may accept this agreement by signing it, or by paying the reservation payment after receiving this agreement and the quote.
The wedding date is confirmed once Taylor Burton Weddings receives the required reservation payment. This agreement and the quote should be available to the clients before they pay.
The accepted quote and this agreement form the contract. Any later changes must be confirmed in writing, including by email.
4. TAYLOR BURTON WEDDINGS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Taylor Burton Weddings will provide the booked services with due care and skill and in a professional manner.
Taylor Burton Weddings may engage assistants or second shooters where appropriate. Any second shooter or assistant included in the booking will be listed in the quote. Taylor Burton Weddings is responsible for directing its team.
Taylor Burton Weddings will make reasonable efforts to capture important moments and requested people identified by the clients. Specific photographs, footage or moments cannot be guaranteed because they may depend on timing, access, weather, lighting, venue rules, the actions of guests and other circumstances outside Taylor Burton Weddings’ control.
Taylor Burton Weddings is not responsible for missed coverage caused by interference or restrictions imposed by guests, other suppliers, the venue or celebrant, provided Taylor Burton Weddings has taken reasonable care in performing the services.
If Taylor Burton Weddings reasonably considers that a person’s conduct or the conditions at the event create a safety risk, it may pause or stop work to address the risk. If the services cannot safely continue, Taylor Burton Weddings may leave the event. The parties’ rights and any refund or other remedy will be determined under this agreement and applicable law.
5. RESERVATION PAYMENT, FEES AND EXPENSES
The total price and payment dates are set out in the accepted quote.
A reservation payment of 40% of the total price is due when the clients accept this agreement. It forms part of the total price.
The remaining 60% is due no later than 7 days before the wedding date.
Any travel, accommodation, parking or other expenses will be listed in the quote. Taylor Burton Weddings will not charge expenses that were not included in the accepted quote unless the clients approve them in writing beforehand.
If a payment is overdue, Taylor Burton Weddings will notify the clients and give them a reasonable opportunity to pay. If it remains unpaid, Taylor Burton Weddings may pause further work or services to the extent permitted by law.
6. CANCELLATION BY THE CLIENTS
The clients may cancel by giving written notice to Taylor Burton Weddings.
If the clients cancel, Taylor Burton Weddings may retain or recover a reasonable cancellation amount for work already completed and losses reasonably incurred because of the cancellation. This amount will take account of expenses saved and any reasonable opportunity to rebook the date. It will not exceed the total price.
The reservation payment will be applied toward that amount. Taylor Burton Weddings will refund any remaining balance paid. If the reasonable cancellation amount is greater than the payments already made, Taylor Burton Weddings will explain and itemise the amount claimed.
7. POSTPONEMENT OR RESCHEDULING
If the clients need to postpone, they must contact Taylor Burton Weddings as soon as possible. A new date is subject to availability.
If both parties agree to a new date, payments already made will be credited toward the new booking. Any reasonable costs caused by the change that cannot be recovered will be discussed with the clients and supported by receipts where available. The parties will confirm any change to the services, price or delivery date in writing.
If Taylor Burton Weddings is unavailable on the proposed new date and the parties cannot agree on another date, the booking will be treated as a cancellation under clause 6.
8. IF TAYLOR BURTON WEDDINGS CANNOT ATTEND
If Taylor Burton Weddings cannot provide the services because of illness, injury or another circumstance beyond its reasonable control, it will notify the clients promptly and make reasonable efforts to find a suitable replacement.
The clients may approve or decline a proposed replacement. If no suitable replacement is available or accepted, Taylor Burton Weddings will refund the amount paid for services it cannot provide. This clause does not limit any other rights or remedies available to the clients under applicable law.
9. EVENT SCHEDULE AND REQUESTED PHOTOGRAPHS
The clients agree to provide the proposed event schedule and a list of requested photographs or key people at least one week before the wedding.
The clients must notify Taylor Burton Weddings as soon as possible of changes to the schedule, locations or access arrangements. Changes may affect the coverage possible, particularly if they reduce the time available.
The clients are responsible for helping Taylor Burton Weddings identify important people and arrange for them to be available when needed.
10. MEAL AND BREAKS
If coverage extends through the reception, the clients agree to provide a meal and reasonable break for Taylor Burton Weddings and any second shooter included in the booking. Meal timing will be coordinated with the clients or planner to minimise disruption to coverage.
11. EDITING AND DELIVERY
Taylor Burton Weddings will provide only the final edited photographs, videos and other deliverables listed in the accepted quote. Raw files, unedited photographs, unused clips and project files are not included unless the quote specifically says they are.
Taylor Burton Weddings will select and edit the final material in its professional style. Not every photograph or video clip taken will be included in the final delivery.
Taylor Burton Weddings aims to deliver the final edited media within 2 months of the wedding date. If a delay is likely, Taylor Burton Weddings will make reasonable efforts to notify the clients and provide an updated estimate. Delays caused by the clients, including late selections or approvals, may extend the delivery time.
This delivery estimate does not limit the clients’ rights under Australian Consumer Law.
12. COPYRIGHT AND CLIENT USE
To the extent permitted by law, the parties agree that copyright in the photographs, films and other creative work made under this agreement is owned by Chad Konik.
Once all amounts due have been paid, Taylor Burton Weddings grants the clients a perpetual, non exclusive licence to download, print, display and share the delivered work for personal, non commercial use. The clients may share it on personal social media, provided they do not materially alter it or use it commercially.
The clients must obtain written permission before selling, licensing or using the work commercially. They should credit Taylor Burton Weddings when reasonably practical.
13. PROMOTIONAL USE
Taylor Burton Weddings will ask the clients for separate written permission before using identifiable photographs or footage of them for advertising, social media, portfolio or other promotional purposes.
The clients may decline or withdraw permission for future use by contacting Taylor Burton Weddings. Their decision will not affect the services or price.
The clients cannot give consent on behalf of other identifiable people at the wedding. Taylor Burton Weddings will take reasonable care when selecting images for public use.
14. VENUE, WEATHER, LIGHTING AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS
Venue rules, celebrant instructions, restrictions imposed by other suppliers, safety requirements, weather, available light and the timing of events may affect coverage or the final result.
Taylor Burton Weddings will make reasonable efforts to work within these conditions and will let the clients know about significant restrictions where practicable. No specific photograph or scene is guaranteed.
15. MUSIC IN VIDEOS
Taylor Burton Weddings will use music that it is authorised to use for the intended video delivery. A particular song requested by the clients may not be available or suitable for the intended use. If so, Taylor Burton Weddings will discuss an alternative with the clients.
The clients must not upload or use delivered videos in a way that breaches the applicable music licence or platform terms.
16. FILE STORAGE
Taylor Burton Weddings will retain the final delivered media for 2 years from the wedding date. After that period, files may be deleted or archived at Taylor Burton Weddings’ discretion.
The clients are responsible for downloading and keeping their own copies after delivery and should make their own backups.
17. CONSUMER RIGHTS AND LIABILITY
Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Taylor Burton Weddings will take reasonable steps to protect photographs, footage and audio recordings created at the event. Digital files can still be affected by equipment failure, theft, damage or other events.
If media is lost or damaged, the parties’ rights and remedies will be determined under applicable law and the circumstances. This agreement does not impose a blanket limit on the clients’ rights.
18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This agreement and the accepted quote contain the parties’ agreement about the booked services. They replace earlier discussions or proposals about those services, except for any written change agreed after acceptance.
19. SEVERABILITY
If a court finds a provision of this agreement invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be read down or removed to the extent necessary. The remaining provisions will continue to apply.
