Family and friends of the clients and other wedding vendors shall not interfere with the photographer’s duties. Guests will be asked to refrain from taking flash photographs at certain intervals of wedding services to ensure proper exposure of images. Additional professional photographers may be employed, however, Elegant Exposures spends special time planning and posing your photographs and asks that guests NOT intervene. Brittany Hamilton will request the client's intervention if a guest is inhibiting our ability to fully document the event.

It is the clients’ responsibility to schedule and receive permission to use various locations for photography, including the wedding and reception locations and any other locations used during the day. Should a location require a payment, this payment will be paid by the clients.

_________________INT.

Brittany Hamilton, as a photographer and artist with whom clients entrust photography, retains the judgment to remove any image(s) from the proofs that it deems bad or irrelevant.

The client agrees to reimburse Brittany Hamilton for all reasonable expenses relating directly to the wedding event itself. For example, parking fees, destination travel fees, accommodations, etc. Elegant Exposures will bill the client after the event. Both parties agree to discuss this thoroughly to avoid any surprises as to what will constitute an expense and Brittany Hamilton agrees to supply expense receipts if so requested. ONE EXCEPTION: A gas/mileage fee of $0.52 per mile will be applied prior to wedding day if the wedding location is over 50 miles outside of Florence, South Carolina.

All legal action shall take place in Florence County, South Carolina.

Elegant Exposures cannot be held responsible for damage to garments during environmental events. Client is responsible to arrange personal assistance for wedding garments. Brittany Hamilton and those employed by Elegant Exposures will not put any parties in a situation (unless requested by bride or groom) that will cause harm or damage to special garments. However, to achieve certain photos, the clients agree that they will trust the discretion of Brittany Hamilton and employees of Elegant Exposures.

Images may be edited at the photographer’s discretion, and delivered images may not include all images shot. The photographer reserves the creative right to edit and release only those deemed professional in quality and within the photographer’s artistic standards. By signing this contract, the client is aware of the style of photography that Elegant Exposures produces.

In the event of illness or sudden event out of the control of both parties, Brittany Hamilton will attempt to substitute a photographer at no cost to client. This contract will be transferable to said photographer.

Due to the lack of information about how long disks and flash drives can hold information, Elegant Exposures recommends you back up your images on another media format other than those purchased from Elegant Exposures. Elegant Exposures also recommends making multiple digital copies of images every year to insure the images are preserved for years to come. Elegant Exposures cannot be held responsible for the failure of disks and/or flash drives due to mishandling. It is the client’s responsibility to keep several copies of any disks and/or flash drives in more than one location, and back the images up on another format such as a hard drive. This is the same for the use of Google Drive. Once the images are in the hands of the client, it is the client’s responsibility to download and save the images. Backing up your images is very important.

Permission is hereby granted to Brittany Hamilton and Elegant Exposures to use any images created under this contract for professional samples, displays, internet website pages, advertising, exhibitions, contests, and any other purpose. The laws of South Carolina shall govern this agreement.
