It is mutually agreed that the following Terms & Conditions form an integral part of this contract and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless accepted by Maxim Photographic in writing:

PAYMENTS: A payment of the remainder of the photography fee of 60% is to be made not later than 30 days prior to the Wedding Ceremony. Payment for additional album photographs, prints & frames is made after the wedding at the time of ordering.

WEATHER CHANGES: Weather permitting, the wedding photographs will be taken as agreed. In the event of rain or snow or any form of weather disturbances, the photographer will make the necessary changes in the photographic session and will not be responsible for any disappointment caused by the weather. However, the photographer, with the co-operation of the client will do his best to produce coverage of the wedding within the time allocated to them.

PHOTOCHROMATIC ANOMALIES: Owing to reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials, especially man made fibres, it is sometimes impossible to record the exact colour of a garment as seen by the human eye. The photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance based on the flesh tones of the subjects but cannot guarantee exact colour match. The printer will use his/her skill to produce pleasing prints. Where close matching is required, we ask that you supply a fabric sample.

REQUESTED PHOTOGRAPHS: The photographer will honour all photographs requested and agreed in advance, provided the following factors are met: Weather & allocated time permitting, availability and co-operation of the person/s concerned. These photographs must form part of the client’s/parents/family/friends final wedding order.

COVERAGE: The Photographer cannot be held responsible for the lack of coverage caused by the bride, the groom or wedding party not being on time, or by Church, Register Office, or Licensed place of wedding restrictions regarding photography. The Photographers do not undertake to guarantee any specific picture nor incorporate any specific background, location or group arrangement.
