Your responsibilities:
- ESSENTIAL - You must inform Ollievision in writing of any potential problems with the date of the wedding or any changes to venues where you expect photographs to be taken. Any changes to rooms or venues that occur after the pre-wedding site visit may be important to us.
- We advise that you appoint us a dedicated usher who is familiar with the wedding guests. This will speed up the gathering of people for group photos and help ensure the correct people are being photographed.
- We advise that you prepare a list of desired group & couple photos that you require and email this to us at least one week prior to the wedding. This list should also be given to our dedicated usher by you on the wedding day.
- Whilst we will do our best to work quickly through the group photos, you should consider the time these will take. Extended outdoor sessions may be problematic in very hot, cold, rainy or windy conditions.
- ESSENTIAL - If you appoint any other professional or amateur photographer or videographer to cover the event we need to know this in advance and be introduced to them at the start of the event.
- If you follow the verbal instructions of any other photographer during the event, we will not be held responsible for photo opportunities lost. Eg. Bride throws flowers on command of a friend, without the instruction of Ollievision.
- ESSENTIAL – Please inform the parents of any children attending the wedding that children should not run around us and must keep away from our equipment, which may be worth up to £10,000. We reserve the right to charge guests for damage caused by lack of supervision, carelessness or negligence.
- To adhere to the agreed payment schedule.
- We aim to be tactful and considerate towards your guests, so please do inform us of any circumstances affecting the wedding party, eg recent bereavements or hospitalisations.
- It is agreed that Ollievision Photography will be the exclusive commercial photographer providing still prints for or at this event. Others may take photographs or record video as long as they do not interfere with the duties of the Photographer or her staff. Other photographers, paid or unpaid, who attempt to photograph or record the same poses or scenes during the same time period as the Photographer may detract from the quality of the studio’s images, and may be cause for the Photographer to cease work until such interference ends. For this reason we request guests to wait until after the formal portraits are completed before taking their own photos. The Photographer will not be responsible for time or images missed as a result of such interference. Ollievision reserve the right to prohibit guest photography during formal photography times if guest photography interferes with formal photographs.

The payment schedule is:

Print ordering
This may be done via our online gallery by yourselves and/or guests as required. Of course, you are free to print photos from the DVD anywhere you choose, however, we can’t be held responsible for problems with quality or colour matching if alternative providers are used.
Please note:
The behaviour of guests may at time cause problems for wedding photographers and, in turn, affect the photographs delivered to you. Behaviour such as jumping in front of the photographer at critical moments, eg “the kiss” or walking down the aisle, is widespread. We will try to minimise this kind of disruption, however, at times we will be completely unable to remedy it if the guest is determined to “get their shot”. If you have any friends or relatives who may disturb your wedding photography in this way, please alert us in advance.
“Halfway through the ceremony a guest with a camera shows up at the front... he was all over the stand, showing the couple pics on his camera DURING the ceremony and in your face. Very disruptive.
I get all posed and ready up front for the kiss, and he literally pops out of nowhere like a ninja right in front at the exact moment of the kiss. I said out loud, "Are you kidding me?" He then looked at me and just shrugged.”
a Wedding photographer

Any replacement will be properly experienced and equipped and we will have pre-vetted their previous work if at all possible. You will be informed of this immediately if applicable.
If you have booked a second photographer then in the event of one of our photographers being injured or becoming ill during the event, we reserve the right to continue with one photographer.
