your INVESTMENT

Your Wedding Photography is an investment, an incredibly worthwhile investment. Its about unique moments, it’s about being able to relive your day through beautiful carefully curated photographs. Smiling together at moments you didn’t even know had happened. Seeing the emotion, the love and excitement on the faces of the your friends and family.

Its seeing the movement in your wedding dress as you danced all night in the arms of your new husband and remembering how it felt. Its the moment you first saw your bride as she walked down the aisle and the emotion that washed over you as you wiped away that stray tear.

“You were the only photographer who actually listened to what we wanted rather than continually suggesting how YOU wanted to do the photos. You made us feel cared about, and at ease very quickly. It was like meeting up with a friend each time we came to speak to you.” Meg & Alex

optional EXTRAS

Images, Image Reproduction, & Delivery

All image sizes are nominal and supplied in a jpeg format. Nikki Kirk Photography will provide a pleasing colour balance 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 sometimes impossible to record digitally the exact colour as seen by the human eye. A good balance of colour and black and white images will be provided unless the Client expresses in writing a preference for a different balance. Nikki Kirk Photography’s decision over all editing decisions is final.  When processing images, the Photographer will endeavour to achieve a pleasing overall colour balance based on natural flesh tones. It is understood that some colours may not remain consistent throughout a set of photographs owing to variations in lighting conditions. This also applies to glare created by spectacles in certain lights and glasses lens colour changes in react to light spectacles and therefore it is the responsibility of the wearer to either remove the spectacles or accept the results. It is also understood that all photographic printing is undertaken within the technical limitations of the process and that colour may not be identical over the whole range within a subject.  The colour balance of prints made at different times or in varying sizes may also be variable.  Image size outputs are generally at 10×8 or 7×5 unless a wider panoramic image. When ordering images please be aware that images maybe cropped from the original to provide the specified size ie from an 10×8 to a 7×5.  Due to the limitations of computer monitors it is understood that images may appear differently according to the specification of each monitor and that prints will not match images rendered on any particular computer monitor.  Images are not processed for wide screen televisions or monitors. Nikki Kirk Photography aims to deliver your digital Wedding Story within approximately 4-6 weeks of your wedding date. There may be occasions when this is not achievable due to unexpectedly higher volumes of work and on such occasions, you will be advised of a revised and timely delivery date.

Copyright/Digital Files

All images or copies of images under this contract whether stored digitally or otherwise and any computer program including any source or object code, computer files or printed documentation relating to such images are protected by the Copyright and Design Act 1988.  The 1988 Copyright Act assigns the copyright of the images to the photographer. It is contrary to the Act, and therefore illegal, to copy these images, or allow them to be copied, by any means photographic, by computer, internet or otherwise, by any person or machine other than by the photographer or his appointed agents.  Nikki Kirk Photography retains the entire copyright in the Photographs and Works at all times, throughout the World and where reproduction of Works has taken place and settlement has not been made, the Photographer will make such charges to the publisher of those images as falls within the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.  If the wedding photography package you choose with Nikki Kirk Photography provides you with the option to reproduce and print for personal use only, the relevant paperwork will be supplied to enable you to print out your images as required. Note: photographic stores will require this before printing your photographs.  If your other wedding suppliers would like images covered under this contract this is deemed as commercial use online or offline and permission must be obtained from Nikki Kirk Photography prior to usage/publication.  Alterations to images ie cropping, adding filters, etc are not permitted.  All digital files regardless of where they are stored remain the property of Nikki Kirk Photography.

Artistic License

Nikki Kirk Photography shall be granted artistic license in relation to the poses photographed and the locations used.  Nikki Kirk Photography’s judgment regarding the locations/poses/colouration and number of images taken shall be deemed correct. Due to the vagaries of the weather and the willingness of subjects it may not be possible to capture all the images requested.  For bookings involving a church ceremony or at certain other venues, photographers´ movements are sometimes restricted by the minister or official in charge: photographing of parts or even all of the ceremony may be restricted or prohibited, as may the use of artificial lighting. Nikki Kirk Photography cannot accept responsibility for limited coverage in such cases.  Whilst Nikki Kirk Photography shall endeavour to fulfil all the Clients´ requirements, Nikki Kirk Photography cannot be held responsible for non-availability of subjects or adverse conditions which may delay the progress of proceedings, preventing the coverage of certain specified shots.

Force majeure or Act of God

The due performance of this contract is subject to alteration or cancellation by either party owing to any cause beyond their control. This includes weather conditions and travel delays including but not limited to flights, trains, and road closures.

Requested Photographs/Blinking

Nikki Kirk Photography cannot be held responsible for lack of coverage caused by any member of the wedding party not being on time, or by Church, Register Office or Licensed Place imposing photography restrictions.  Should the photographer notice that a member of the wedding party or guest has been seen to blink, the photograph will be taken again but it is impossible to guarantee to see all of them.  We strive to honour all photographs requested and agreed in advance. We will ask you for your list of essential group photographs and will not deviate from this list unless asked otherwise on the day. We cannot be held responsible for missed photographs due to weather, venue, other wedding supplier, client, or guest disturbances although all efforts will be taken to provide the agreed coverage.

Attendance & Limitation of Liability

In the unlikely event of Nikki Kirk Photography not being unable to attend your wedding due to unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to appoint another professional photographer to attend your wedding on her behalf to undertake the wedding photography to his/her best ability.  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.

Conduct & Safety

The Nikki Kirk Photography Team/Photographer(s) will not tolerate verbal or physically abusive behaviour under any circumstances. If the Client is unable to control the conduct of attendees, resulting in what the Photographer(s) feels to be an unacceptable degree of misconduct, or if any such conduct injures or damages the equipment of the Photographer(s), it will result in the immediate departure of the Photographer(s).  The Photographer(s) will not share their time or compete with other photographers or guests for the attention of the subjects. Uncontrolled conduct by any person that interferes with the photographer(s) may seriously affect the quality of images recorded or increase the number of times they must be retaken.  The Client understands that no refund will be granted and claims for damage or injury from the Nikki Kirk Photographer are likely to be the result.

Complaints

In the unlikely event of a complaint, this should first be raised by the Client with Nikki Kirk Photography immediately during the photography viewing in person.  In the unlikely event of an unresolved complaint the Client may request the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers and/or The Guild of Photographers to mediate but only on the basis that its decision shall be final and binding upon both parties. The contractual relationship between Nikki Kirk Photography and the Client shall be governed by the laws of England.
