TERMS & CONDITIONS

Lauren Elise Photography

These Terms & Conditions (“T&Cs”) set out the agreement between you (“the Client”) and Lauren Elise Photography (“the Photographer”). By booking a session, wedding, or purchasing products, you agree to the following:

1. Booking & Payments

  • A non-refundable deposit/retainer (20% for weddings, £25 or £50 for sessions) is required at the time of booking to secure your date.

  • The remaining balance is due 14 days before the session or wedding unless otherwise agreed.

  • Bookings are not confirmed until the deposit has been received.

2. Cancellation & Rescheduling

  • Deposits are non-refundable but may be transferred if the session is rescheduled with at least 7 days’ notice (subject to availability).

  • Weddings cancelled less than 90 days before the date are payable in full.

  • If the Photographer must cancel due to unforeseen circumstances (illness, emergency, etc.), all monies paid will be refunded, or an alternative photographer will be sourced with client approval.

3. Image Delivery

  • Galleries are delivered digitally via an online system.

  • Standard turnaround time: 3–6 weeks for weddings, 2–3 weeks for lifestyle sessions. During peak periods, delivery times may be longer (you will be informed if this is the case).

  • Galleries remain online for 6 months. After this, an extension may be purchased.

  • Clients are advised to download and back up images safely. The Photographer cannot be held responsible for image loss after the gallery expiry.

4. Prints, Albums & Products

  • Fine art prints, albums, and wall art are available to order directly through the Photographer.

  • Products are custom-made and therefore non-refundable.

  • Prices are subject to change and confirmed at the time of ordering.

  • Please note: fine art prints and albums are produced by professional labs to ensure archival quality, colour accuracy, and longevity. The Photographer cannot guarantee results from third-party or high-street printers.

5. Copyright & Usage

  • All images remain the copyright of Lauren Elise Photography.

  • Clients receive a personal use license, allowing printing, sharing with family/friends, and social media use (credit/tagging appreciated).

  • Images may not be sold, altered, or used commercially without prior written permission.

6. Creative License

  • The Photographer retains creative control over editing style and image selection.

  • Not all images taken will be delivered; only those meeting professional standards are included.

  • Client requests are welcomed, but the Photographer’s artistic judgment is final.

7. Liability

  • The Photographer is not liable for circumstances beyond control (e.g. weather, venue restrictions, lateness).

  • In the unlikely event of equipment failure or image loss, liability is limited to a full refund of monies paid.

  • The Photographer has full public liability and professional indemnity insurance.

8. Privacy

  • Client information is stored securely and never shared with third parties except where necessary for service delivery (e.g. print labs).

  • Images may be used for portfolio, website, and social media unless clients request otherwise in writing before the session.

By booking with Lauren Elise Photography, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms & Conditions.
