If this contract is for wedding ceremony, Client’s family and friends shall be permitted to take a snapshot as long as they remain seated since Expect Style photographer(s) move around during the ceremony.

It is understood that Expect Style photographer(s) WILL NOT continue to take any photos or work with any Client if there are other “amateur” photographers or when Expect Style photographer(s) feel that they cannot continue due to interference by others.  When others are photographing and/or if Expect Style photographer(s) feel that their work is being infringed upon, Expect Style photographer(s) will either leave the event or wait until any others are no longer using cameras.

· During a reception, persons are asked to hold all flashes until Photographer has obtained their “shot." It is the client’s responsibility to ensure family and guests are fully aware of this agreement. Any breach of this agreement shall constitute a reason for non-completion of the job with no liability to Expect Style and shall result in the loss of any monies paid by Client. Client, Bride, and Groom understand and agree that a critical photograph can be obstructed by a guest trying to get the shot and flashes other than those produced by the Photographer may overexpose the photograph.  Disposable cameras are welcome at the reception and may be used; however, Expect Style photographer(s) need to be the primary person taking the key photos.

All proofs shown are the only images available for purchase although other photos may have been taken at the event; Photographer reserves the right to select images from the event and Client waives Expect Style of all responsibility and/or accountability for photographs not captured due to situations beyond the photographers control (e.g., failure or noncompliance of other vendors hired by client, family or friends of Client, weather, poor lighting in building, lighting outside, etc.). Our services include posting of images from event and booking party shall inform guests that images will be posted on our Web site.  Keep in mind that you may be on limited time at your ceremony or reception location.  We may plan a timeline for photography, but we cannot be liable for delays.

· No part of any order, including previews or proofs, will be delivered or displayed until the balance is paid in full and/or this contract has been signed.

· Expect Style reserves the right to use images and/or reproductions for advertising, display, publication or other purposes. Images and previews remain the exclusive property of Expect Style.

· To reserve any potential or actual date or if you want Expect Style to hold a specific date, a reservation charge/deposit is required and is non-refundable. To book an event, this contract is required before any services can be performed, and we must receive this contract within 7 days after booking with Expect Style even if the booking was made verbally over the phone.  Once a reservation is made, Expect Style reserves the time & date of the event. For this reason, any deposit/reservation charge paid is non-refundable, even if the date of the event is changed or cancelled for any reason.  If additional payments have been made beyond the reservation charge which was required to book the event and the event is cancelled for any reason, Expect Style will not refund any amount whatsoever 6 months (182 days) before any event.

This limitation on liability shall also apply in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera malfunction, picture storage/memory device, lost in the mail, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part of the Photographer. In the event Expect Style fails to perform for any other reason, Expect Style shall not be liable for any amount in excess of the photography service fee or reservation charge.
