photography cancellation question

Seems like a standard clause as its very similar to what we have in ours. So for example, If they can't deliver the wedding photography as promised, they will give a refund but they won't pay to re-hire the venue/suits or redo the flowers if you choose a reshoot x

It's a standard clause but most of the time your wedding insurance would cover this I think.

Basically if the photographer cancels their liability will be limited to a full refund.

Standard contractual stuff.

Our own wedding insurance covered the costs of re-shooting in case of non-delivery or unacceptable product*. Suspect this is fairly standard, therefore Togs don't need to cover themselves.

*Unacceptable in the technical sense - marked photos etc. Not just if you think the Tog didn't catch your good side....

Our photographer says he carries 3 memeory cards in case of this happening

He does have a clause that states if he cant make the wedding due to no fault of his own then he pays back what weve paid but we cant go for compensation etc which seems fair

It is absolutely standard terms in wedding photographers' contracts... so nothing to worry about in my opinion. It is worth asking what kind of contingency plans they offer, i.e. what happens should they fall ill on the day, and do they have back-up camera equipment... It's highly unlikely for anything to go wrong, but we certainly make strong contingency plans for out clients... all the best!

I don't have this clause in my contract as my insurance includes PI and will cover for events like this. * It could be that the TOG does not have a decent cover on his policy.

For peace of mind, TOGs' (and VOGs') insurance should have the following cover:

PL = Public Liability

PI + Professional Indemnity

EL = Employer's Liability (if they have an assistant (non-relative or spouse) or an employee helping them)

* Check that your TOG or VOG has valid insurance cover in place before signing any contracts with them

We have that clause Bob even though we have cover, so it doesn't necessarily mean they don't have decent cover in place.

Its a standard clause Cinderellabella x
