The photographer/videographer cannot accept responsibility for limited coverage in such cases.

If unable to accommodate alternative arrangements (such as the change of ceremony date or venue) the photographer/videographer is not liable to compensate the client(s) in any way whatsoever.

5. Image Reproduction

a) Owing to photochromatic anomalies caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials, especially in man-made fibres, it is sometimes impossible to record on camera the exact colour of materials as perceived by the human eye. When processing images, the photographer/videographer will endeavour to achieve a pleasing overall colour balance based on natural flesh tones.
b) It is understood that some colours may not remain consistent throughout a set of photographs owing to variations in lighting conditions. 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.
c) Due to the limitations of computer monitors, it is understood that images/videos may appear differently according to the specification of each monitor and that prints will not match images rendered on any particular computer monitor.
d) Where images/videos are made available for use on a DVD/Blu-ray player reasonable steps are taken to ensure compatibility, but DVD discs may not play on all DVD/Blu-ray players, particularly older models.
e) We use only quality branded CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays, ensuring each is checked before dispatch, but it remains the responsibility of the clients to check discs for in-transit damage. The photographer/videographer cannot be held responsible for damage to equipment resulting from defective media.
