Artistic Style: This agreement confirms that the Client is familiar with the Vendor’s portfolio and has booked Esme Film & Photography with full knowledge and appreciation of the Vendor’s artistic style. The Client understands and agrees that the Vendor’s style is a fundamental reason for choosing Esme Film & Photography for their shooting or event photography and videography services. Performance: For the purposes of this agreement, “the Vendor” refers to Esme Film & Photography, including its founders, employees, contractors, and any associates engaged in providing photography, videography and content creation services. Photography and/or videography responsibilities on the shooting day will be performed by the Vendor and my include their selected associated photographers and videographers. All associated Photographers and videographers are sole professionals with equal quality. The Vendor will make every reasonable effort to capture important moments and provide high-quality coverage of the shooting day. Due to the nature of live events, Esme Film & Photography is not liable for any specific moments that are not captured or delivered, especially in cases of third-party interference, unforeseen circumstances, or lack of cooperation from the Client, other vendors, or attendees. All creative and logistical decisions regarding the documentation of the event, including the selection of moments to be included in the final deliverables, are at the sole discretion of Esme Film & Photography. Cooperation: The Client and the Vendor consent to happily cooperate and communicate with each other to achieve the best possible result within the understanding of this contract. The client also agrees to give the vendor sufficient warning of key events at the shooting to give the vendor time to prepare e.g. Bouquet throwing, cutting the cake, speeches, etc. Both the Client and the Vendor, therefore, agree that punctuality and cheerful cooperation are essential to producing outstanding photo and or video results.

The client remains responsible for payment in full of all contracted services, regardless of any subsequent change in guest count, timeline, or perceived need. Requests to reduce the balance by canceling team members or services after booking will not be accepted. Failure to pay the remaining balance in full by the agreed due date constitutes a breach of contract, as failure to full payment is subject to immediate cancellation of the contract and negates any further obligation of performance by the vendor. All retainers and any payments made up to that point will be retained as liquidated damages and will be strictly non-refundable, the availability for the date will be released. The Vendor will have no further obligation to provide services. Coverage: Coverage provided by the vendor is to be considered continuous (it always includes any logistic time, transfers, delays from third-parties, meal breaks and any other interruptions) and will end at the agreed amount of time regardless of any interruptions.

Coverage may conclude earlier at the discretion of Esme Film & Photography and the client once all agreed events have been documented. Extra hours can be added. Delays and Schedule Changes: once coverage start and end times are officially confirmed and finalized in writing, these times cannot be modified last-minute. Any delays (this also applies if the client arrived late at the shooting appointment) or last minute changes (changes made by the client within 48 hours prior to the shooting) to the schedule will either be deducted from the agreed coverage time, or require the purchase of additional coverage hours at the agreed rate. Location Access, fees, permits: All permits to access and shoot shoot at locations that require permits, fees, permission or special access will be obtained and paid for by the Client and or by their planning team, including parking and drone fees and permits.

If the clients provides an incorrect address for its venue, it is not the Vendor’s responsibility, and all travel costs to reach the correct address will be covered by the client in full. Should the Client provide an incorrect address for the venue or any event location, and the Vendor arrives at that address in good faith only to discover the error, the Vendor cannot be held responsible for any resulting delays or loss of coverage. If the correct location is, at that point, logistically unreachable within the same day or in team to start the agreed coverage, and services cannot be rendered as planned, the Client assumes full responsibility. In such a case, the Vendor shall not be liable for any missed service, the missed hours will be treated as lost and will remain fully non-refundable. This extends also in case a correct date is not provided by the Client on page 1 of this Agreement (dates are always expressed in day/month/year format). Transfer/Transportation and Parking: The vendor and their team will independently arrive at the primary (and secondary if booked) venue/location provided by the client on the first page of this agreement. It is the client full responsibility to guarantee a parking space for the vendor and any associates at the venue/location directly. If a parking cannot be guaranteed or in case the location(s) provided by the Client for the shooting day or any secondary events are situated within a restricted traffic zone (ZTL), on an island, or in any area not directly accessible by car (e.g. pedestrian-only areas, limited access roads, or mountainous/remote locations), or the location/venue does not have a designed parking space for the vendor and/or any of it's associates, it is the Client responsibility to organize and cover the full cost of any necessary transfers to ensure access for the Vendor and their team. This includes, but is not limited to, arranging appropriate transportation (such as water taxis, shuttles, golf carts, boats, private transfers, NCC or similar) from the Vendor’s accommodation (hotel, Airbnb, or private residence depending on the travel itinerary), airport, or nearest train station—whichever is most logistically appropriate. The Vendor will not rely on nor be responsible for securing last-minute transportation (such as taxis or rideshare services) at any stage of the event day, especially during night hours. All transfers must be pre-arranged by the Client. This requirement applies to both arrival and departure: transfers must be arranged both to bring the Vendor’s team to the venue before coverage begins and to return them to their accommodation or departure point once coverage ends. Should any costs arise related to transportation—such as parking fees, garage charges, access permits, or travel taxes, or fines—these will be invoiced to the Client and are to be paid within 7 days of notice. Failure to provide proper access that impacts the Vendor’s ability to perform services in a timely and complete manner, the Vendor will not be held liable for any missed coverage resulting from lack of transport arrangements and coverage will be considered as lost. For any additional shooting required outside the main venue/location, it is the responsibility of the Client to arrange and cover the costs of transportation for all photography/videography staff and their equipment. Please note, the Photographer/Videographer will not use their personal vehicle or taxis for reach any additional location/locations, and any required transfers must be provided by the Client at their expense.

Photo Delivery: delivery of all the files is upon receipt of a link to access an online web gallery where the client can download all files. It is the Client's full responsibility to download, back up, and securely store all files when these are delivered. Agreed shooting/event Photos included in the agreement between the Vendor and the Client will be digitally delivered through a link or online gallery within 3 months from the shooting date. The final gallery, will be available online for four (4) months from the date of delivery. After this period, the online gallery/galleries and all associated links will expire, and all images/videos will be permanently deleted. This includes all shooting /event files and any other files associated with extra events, sneak peeks, engagement sessions, or any additional galleries included in this contract. If any 35 mm film photography is included within the services booked by the client within this agreement on page one or added as an extra service on a later stage, all 35mm film photographs will be always delivered in digital format only. Physical negatives, prints, or any paper-based versions are not included and are not part of deliverables, prints may be requested by the client and sold by the vendor as an extra. Any request made by the Client for adjustments beyond the Vendor’s standard editing — such as corrections of unexpected, real-life issues that may arise on the shooting day (for example: visible bruises, temporary skin marks, makeup mismatches between face and body, fabric or veil discoloration, stains, or similar anomalies) — must always be considered within the limits defined in the section “Photo and/or Video Retouches and Client’s Requests” of this Agreement. These types of retouching requests are not included in the standard service and may fall under the additional editing fees stated in that section. If, at the Vendor’s sole discretion, certain minor corrections are accommodated as a courtesy and without charge, this does not constitute a modification of the Vendor’s policies nor an obligation to apply such corrections to the entire gallery. Should the Client request that these adjustments be applied to a large number of images — or to the full gallery — the Client acknowledges that all delivery timelines will be automatically extended, as such work requires substantial additional production time. Depending on the quantity and complexity of the requested changes, delivery delays may extend by several weeks or more. The Client understands that these requests remain subject to the Vendor’s discretion, will only be performed when compatible with the Vendor’s style and editing limitations, and cannot include any form of heavy retouching, digital alteration, or reality modification, which remain expressly excluded under this Agreement. Retouches and Client's requests: By booking Esme Film & Photography, the client acknowledges and agrees to the vendor’s style and approach, based on the vendor’s portfolio, the Client knows its style is natural and reflects reality. Small retouches of the skin and tones are done at the vendor's discretion during the editing process but no strong retouching will be done to any photo under any circumstances. The vendor does not make any heavy retouches or reality alterations (e.g. sky replacement, background replacement, body /face retouches). Should the client wish to have done heavy retouches on photos after delivery, this will be at the discretion of the vendor and for an additional fee. This type of retouches (including but not limited to: body or face modifications e.g., slimming, skin smoothing, wrinkle or eye bag removal, background changes, or object/person removal, environmental conditions such as weather, lighting, or sun flares, flashes, any artificial light effects, or uneven lighting, background noise) are not possible on videos. Video stabilization and slow motion are at the vendor’s discretion. The audio reflects also reality. Therefore the vendor must know about key elements of the Client's shooting/event in advance so that the important images/videos may be captured. Any information provided and discussed is not part of this contract, nor shall such information modify this contract. The vendor will work to meet all of the Client's reasonable requests and expectations within the Vendor style and approach; however, the vendor does not work on shot lists of any form and does not guarantee replication of specific photo/video suggestions or pose suggestions from images taken by other Vendors as each shooting’s location, light, and couple are unique and therefore an exact replication cannot be guaranteed or requests that do not align with the Vendor’s style and artistic vision. In the extraordinary circumstance where Esme Film & Photography determines that the couple’s expectations are too unrealistic, or/and if the Client asks the Vendor to work against its style, approach, work ethic, and/or in case the Clients demands services beyond the scope of vendor’s work and not covered by this contract, The Vendors reserves the exclusive right to cancel this contract (This clause is solely for the vendor’s discretion and cannot be invoked by the client). In such cases, Esme Film & Photography reserves the right to cancel at any stage the booking and this contract and will provide a full refund, including all deposits paid, to prevent potential conflicts and ensure mutual satisfaction. Post-production and file keeping: The final post-production and editing styles, effects, retouches, color correction and overall look of all images/videos are entirely at the full discretion of the Vendor, which will determine which images and/or videos will be delivered to the Client. The Client may request additional edits only within two (2) weeks after delivery date. These requests will be subject to a fee of €50 per image and €300 per hour for photo or video editing session (on both fees vat applies). The Client acknowledges that all extra retouching work, regardless of whether such work is complimentary or paid, will be added to the Vendor’s production queue and will be completed within six (6) months from the date of the Client’s request. This timeframe accounts for the Vendor’s workload, peak-season demands, and strict delivery deadlines for other Clients. The Vendor is not obligated to perform additional editing immediately upon request, and no expedited turnaround can be guaranteed unless agreed upon in writing and subject to additional rush fees (when available at the Vendor’s discretion). This applies to all extra editing requests, including minor corrections (e.g., temporary skin marks, discoloration, makeup inconsistencies, garment or fabric color mismatches), and to any retouching service offered by the Vendor outside the standard editing process. After the two-week period, the Vendor will permanently delete all the Client’s raw files and all other for, and therefore, additional edits, changes or purchase of raw files cannot be made nor requested. The Vendor does not permanently archive the client’s files and is not responsible for the lifespan of any digital media provided or for any future changes in digital technology or media readers that might result in an inability to store files and for any inability to access the digital files in the future due to technological changes. The Vendor does not archive image files beyond this period. The client may request a rush or faster delivery (within 2 weeks from request) this option is on the vendor availability and with a fee will apply. It is the full responsibility of the Client to ensure that the final gallery link has been received and to check their inbox, as well as any other email folders (including spam, junk, or any other email folder). It is the Client’s responsibility to contact the Vendor promptly to verify receipt. The Vendor is not responsible for ensuring the Client checks their email folders or confirms the receipt of the delivery. Terms and conditions of this clause will apply regardless and the expiration and deletion deadlines for the gallery will remain in effect. All raws and any other file format (photos / videos / content / any other) are automatically permanently deleted on all the vendor’s hardware or cloud storage within 2 (two) weeks from delivery date. File Keeping, Raw photos and footage: The vendor will record and/or photograph in dual SD-slots to maximise the safety of the files. Raw photos and/or footage will be kept on the vendor’s hardware or clouds for 2 (two) weeks after the official delivery, after this time all RAW files (photos / videos and any other file or copy) will permanently deleted. It is highly recommended to the client to back up the final photo and/or shooting films in full on at least on 2 (two) different devices in triple copy when files are delivered by the vendor. The online gallery delivered to the client will remain active for a period of 4 (four) months after delivery, after this time the gallery will expire and access to it won’t be possible, therefore a back up by the Client within this timeframe of all files is essential. After final delivery the vendor will not take further responsibility. Raw photos and footage are not included in any of the vendor's packages and are part of the intellectual property of Esme Film & Photography only (also check “copyright” paragraph of this contract). Light limitations: The Client acknowledges that if any part of the shooting occurs at a time or in a location where natural light is absent, The Vendor will have to use artificial light sources (such us professional lighting and flashes) to guarantee maximum results and the images and/or videos may look different from the natural light images and video. The Client acknowledges that the images shall not be subject to rejection based on taste, aesthetic criteria, or personal appearance. The Photographer should not be held responsible for backgrounds or lighting conditions that may negatively impact or restrict the photo and/or video coverage. Limit of Liability: The Client is liable to notify the vendor if the Client hires another photographer and or videographer, professional or amateur. The vendor can not be held liable for failing to capture images or videos that are disrupted by guests or other vendors, due to reasons that include but are not limited to obstruction, subjects looking at other cameras, other flashes going off, etc. The vendor prohibits the Client's guests from photographing/filming over his/her shoulder or in front of them (also if the full ceremony is recorded during this time in front of any backup cameras) and prohibits the use of shooting images in a same-day slideshow at the shooting that is put together by any person. If the vendor or their associates are too ill or become injured and cannot supply the shooting services specified above, the vendor will try to book a replacement shooting photographer or videographer. If a replacement photographer or videographer can not be found, liability is limited to a refund of any payments received. Refunds by the vendor won't be possible in any other circumstance. The vendor has working methods in place to prevent loss or damage to final images/footage. However, there is the unlikely possibility that images/footage may be lost, stolen, destroyed for reasons beyond the vendor's contro (including cases where one or all analog rolls of 35mm film photos are damaged or unusable), in these circumstances, liability is limited to the return of fees paid for the service or part thereof according to the percentage of images/footage supplied. Refunds by the vendor are not possible in any other circumstance.​ The Client also acknowledges that second shooters and assistants are not lead photographers or videographers, and therefore do not carry the same level of responsibility, creative direction, or liability. Their role is strictly to support the main shooter(s) by capturing secondary angles or assisting operationally throughout the event. By default, they are not intended to operate independently or replace a main shooter in full. The presence of a second shooter or assistant should not be interpreted as the ability to fully cover simultaneous events. To ensure the best artistic and technical outcome, it remains the responsibility of the main shooter(s) to lead and document key moments in full. For this reason, timelines should be structured to avoid overlapping events where the main shooter cannot be present. The vendor cannot be held liable for any missed or partially covered moments resulting from timeline overlaps not supported by appropriate staffing. Planning, Timeline and coverage, Questionnaires, and shooting Guide: -Planning and coordination duties on the shooting/event day are not covered by the vendor, while the vendor offers guidance and expertise in creating a photography timeline, its primary role is to photograph / record events as they happen. Therefore, it is not within the vendor's responsibility to organize the day's events or re-arrange times in the event of delays caused by other vendors, guests, or any other factors. Especially it is not the vendor responsibility to call or arrange any sort of transportation. In case a shooting planner is hired by the Client, it is the Client’s responsibility to inform the shooting planner and their associates about all the Vendor’s terms and conditions such as, but not limited to the laser policy, parking requirements, permits, meal provisions, and any necessary permits or limitations to observe or obtain. If a shooting planner is not hired, these responsibilities fall to the Client. -Timeline and Coverage: The final timeline and any logistics affecting the vendor’s work must be submitted and approved no later than 1 month prior to the event. After this date, no major changes (e.g., shifts in coverage start time, additional locations, or added moments) can be guaranteed or accommodated. The vendor will base their performance on their timeline and will be on time whenever the vendor has direct control, this excludes delays because of accidents/traffic or third parties. All schedules or itineraries must be confirmed at least two months before the shooting. The vendor will advise the Client with timeline suggestions for optimal coverage and provide recommendations regarding photography and/or videography based on their artistic taste and expertise, but will limit themselves to those. The Client will let the Vendor know about any changes on the given timeline, therefore the vendor is not responsible for missed coverage due to shooting timeline changes including but not limited to changes made by shooting planners or coordinators, guests, clients or any other. Notification of any changes in schedule or location must be made in a timely manner, a month before the shooting / event date. Changes must be made in written form for documentation.

It is the client's full responsibility to ensure a safe space for the Vendor and/or Associates to work in. In the event the Vendor or his/her associates experience any inappropriate, threatening, hostile or offensive behaviour from any guest or other person at the shooting or other event then the following process shall be followed: first offence: a verbal warning will be issued to clients directly to make him/hem fully aware; second offence: the offending person/group will be required to leave the shooting/event immediately; third offence: the Vendor and any associates will end shooting coverage immediately and leave the event. The vendor or any of its associates may decide to leave the shooting/event immediately if their safety is compromised or threatened or if acts of violence, racism, and/or discrimination (including, but not limited to, episodes of drunkenness, unwelcome sexual advances and verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature) occur towards the vendor (associates included) itself or towards guests/other vendors/staff present.
