• I agree to pay the outstanding balance in full on or before my Wedding Day.
• Bookings will not be taken without a booking deposit.
• I understand that the Gospel, Homily, Consecration and Communion may not be filmed as the celebrant may not give permission to film these parts.
• I understand that due to traffic delays or obstructions that are beyond our control it may not be possible for the videographer(s) to film the Bride and Groom arriving at the reception.
• I understand that Reel Irish Wedding cannot accept responsibility for restrictions such as physical obstructions or instruction from the Celebrant(s) regarding filming of the wedding ceremony.
• I agree that should the First Dance commence after 10.00pm an hourly charge will apply of €150 and I will be invoiced accordingly.
• I understand that Reel Irish Wedding retains the right to ‘Final Cut’. Any editing changes after delivery will incur a further charge.

• I understand that all BluRay discs are not compatible with all players.
• I agree that Reel Irish Wedding reserves the right to cancel a booking. If this unlikely event should occur (i.e. force majeure), repayment of all refundable monies will be made.
• I understand that Reel Irish Wedding cannot accept responsibility for items lost or damaged in the post.
• I agree that Reel Irish Wedding retains copyright over all video and audio footage. Extracts may be used for promotional purposes.
• It generally takes approximately 20 minutes for a couple to greet their guests and loved ones after a ceremony. The entire receiving line is not filmed. Specific moments are selected and filmed from various angles.
• I understand that my completed wedding video will be ready approximately 10-14 weeks from my wedding date. This period may be longer in peak season.
• If for any reason you are unhappy with anything after you receive your wedding film, the client agrees to immediately get in touch with Reel Irish Wedding, in writing, detailing what is wrong. The client must do this within 14 days of receipt/delivery of the wedding film. Extra editing may incur additional charges depending on what it entails.  If something is wrong with the edit, and if it’s the fault of Reel Irish Wedding, and if it can be rectified, Reel Irish Wedding agrees to rectify the error and send new edits to the client without charge.
• Reel Irish Wedding shall be granted full artistic license by the client, and Derek's judgement regarding filming and editing shall be deemed correct unless previously discussed and agreed with the client prior to the event/occasion in writing.
• No responsibility is accepted if speeches or other events of the day happen spontaneously outside of the agreed upon times that they were supposed to happen, and are subsequently not captured as a result.
• Drone filming. Drones cannot fly in strong winds or any kind of rain or adverse weather conditions.
  It is the couple's responsibility to obtain permissions from the venue. I will comply with all rules and regulations set out by the IAA to ensure safe flying at all times, including but not limited to safe distances from all people and buildings and the drone cannot fly directly overhead of a mass group of people for safety reasons. If for any reason I feel that it is unsafe to fly on the day, my decision is final. The drone can only be flow during daylight hours. The footage being shot by the drone will mainly consist of Ariel footage of landscapes close to or at the ceremony or venue location.  
• I agree to provide a list of photographs I would like captured on the wedding day in the pre-wedding meeting, with special attention given to the photoshoot at the reception with the bridal party, family, and other guests. This will help streamline the photoshoot and minimize the chances of missing important photos with specific individuals. While Andrew captures the natural flow of the day, he kindly suggests including specific family members, bridal party members, and guests in this list, along with their names and their relationship to the bride and groom. Additionally, Andrew suggests noting any special moments or unique events, such as sparklers, singing waiters, birthday celebrations, pets, magicians, comedians, fireworks, and similar activities, so they can be appropriately captured.
• I acknowledge that the success of the photography and videography greatly depends on the cooperation of the Bride & Groom, Bridal party, family, guests and the conditions at the event. To ensure everything runs smoothly, Andrew kindly suggests that the Bride / Groom designate an 'event guide' (example the best man or another member of the bridal party) who can assist in identifying key individuals for photographs and videos, and help organize groups for efficient and seamless photo sessions.
• I agree that Andrew (Photography) / Derek (Video) need to arrive at the preparations 2.5 hours before the bride is due to leave for the ceremony. This will enable Andrew / Derek to capture photographs & video of the Dress, Shoes, Flowers, Jewellery etc before the bride gets dressed. This will also give Andrew / Derek enough time to capture relaxed & candid photographs / video of the preparations.
• I agree that the Bride, Bridesmaids, Bride’s family members, Groom, Groomsmen and Groom’s family members will be fully dressed, have hair and makeup complete and be ready for formal photographs 45 minutes before leaving the house / room / location of preparations. This will enable Andrew and Derek to capture photographs & video before leaving for the ceremony. Photographs / Video of this vital part of the day will be compromised if any of the above people are not dressed and ready on time. Andrew and Derek must be given reasonable time to capture photographs and video of this vital part of the day. If the bride / groom are not ready at this time it will also lead to Andrew and Derek being unable to capture the ceremony location before filling with guests and the guests arriving at the ceremony location as they will be photographing the Bride / Groom at this time instead. In these circumstances, and if there is still time, Andrew / Derek may ask if you prefer to have photos of the ceremony location and guests arriving, or photos of the Bride / Groom fully ready before the ceremony. Andrew / Derek will give gentle reminders of the time throughout the preparations.
• If the space for bridal preparations is limited, Andrew / Derek may suggest taking a brief moment before the ceremony to capture some formal photographs and video in another suitable location, whether outdoors or in an alternative indoor setting which is preferably on the way to the ceremony. Andrew / Derek will make every effort to ensure this process is smooth and does not require any additional effort from the bridal party.
• I agree that Andrew (Photographs) & Derek (Video) must leave the preparations in good time to arrive at the ceremony location approximately 30 minutes before the ceremony is due to start. This will be even earlier if there is a significant distance to the ceremony location.
• I agree that if there is less than average (example less than 90 guests) at the wedding then it may not be possible to achieve the number of final photographs listed in the package. I also agree that if I choose a custom / tailored package that has less than whole day coverage (example no preparations or no speeches, dancing etc.) then it may not be possible to achieve the same number of final photographs listed / expected in that of a whole day package. Andrew will endeavor to capture as many images as possible, however the final number of images will be determined by the number of guests at the wedding and the duration of photography services provided on the day.  Regarding Video, if your ceremony and/or speeches are short, your film may be less than 60 minutes in duration.
• I confirm that I have carefully reviewed Andrew & Derek's portfolio and am fully satisfied with their style, lighting, composition, and editing. I understand and agree that my wedding photographs and video will reflect this style, lighting, and overall aesthetic.
• I understand that Andrew takes great care to ensure that all photographs reflect the artistic style showcased in his portfolio. As such, Andrew does not provide edits or alterations beyond the natural representation of his established style. Requests for re-edits or changes outside of this style will not be accommodated.
• I acknowledge that for weddings taking place in the winter months, when it gets dark earlier, the lighting in the photographs and video will naturally have a more wintery tone.
• I understand that for wedding ceremonies starting later than 2pm during late autumn, winter, and early spring, it will likely be close to, or completely dark by the time everyone arrives at the reception and for the photoshoot. In these cases Andrew / Derek will have to use Flash / Lighting for the photoshoot. However, some venues have more than sufficient ambient lighting for weddings during these times of the year.
• I acknowledge that in the event of rain or strong winds during the scheduled photoshoot time, Andrew may kindly request that the bride and groom, along with the bridal party and family, step outside after dinner if the rain or wind has stopped and there is still sufficient daylight, in order to capture outdoor photographs of the bride, groom, bridal party, and family. This is a priority, as these images add a unique and memorable element to the wedding photographs, and there is only one opportunity to capture them. However, if the venue provides adequate space, lighting, and suitable backgrounds, indoor photographs may be more than sufficient in the case of rain or wind.
