The photographer shall be the exclusive photographer retained by the client for the purpose of photographing the event. Guests, Family and Friends of the Client cannot take photos during the actual session with personal cameras, iPhones, iPads, cell phones or any other photographic device.
Photographer owns the copyright for all images created at the Event and has the exclusive right to make reproductions. Photographer will only make reproductions for Client or for Photographer’s portfolio, studio samples, self promotions, entry in photographic contests or exhibitions, instructional purposes, editorial use, or within or on the outside of Photographer's studio, or any other advertising and business needs the Photographer deems necessary or appropriate. Any such use will be judicious and consistent with the highest standards of taste and judgment. If Photographer desires to use images for uses other than those specified above, Photographer shall not do so without first obtaining written permission from Client. Client understands they are not entitled to any compensation, or other consideration, for Photographer’s use of Event images.
It is a violation of Federal copyright law to allow photographs created by Photographer to be reprinted, duplicated, digitally reproduced, copied, scanned, or altered without the permission of Photographer. Client agrees to purchase prints and products directly from Photographer unless Client purchases or is otherwise granted access & usage rights to the high resolution digital files. Further, Client agrees not to make copies for sale or for the purpose of circumventing sale of the images by Photographer. Client agrees not to scan, copy or reproduce images in any manner, for any reason, without a written release from Photographer.
The Client is obtaining images for personal use only, and shall not sell said images. If Client is obtaining an image for newspaper announcement of a wedding, event, editorial use or website/social media, Photographer authorizes Client to reproduce the image in this manner. In such event, Client shall run a credit for the Photographer adjacent to the photograph (or tag photographer in the case of social media use).
Once the photo shoot is done we can help with other stuff, too.
