ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This agreement contains the entire understanding
between LaMana Photography and the CLIENT. It supersedes all prior and simultaneous
agreements between the parties. The only way to add or change this agreement
is to do so in writing, signed by all the parties. If the parties want to
waive one provision of this agreement that does not mean that any other provision
is also waived. The party against whom a waiver is sought to be effective
must have signed a waiver in writing.
RESERVATION: A signed contract and 50% reservation fee are required
to reserve the specified coverage.
PRE-EVENT CONSULTATION: The parties agree to a pre-event consultation
two to three weeks before the event date in order to finalize the actual shooting
times, locations, and CLIENT'S request list (in writing) for specific photographs.
The bride and or groom agree to set aside at least one hour of time that ends
1/2 an hour before the ceremony commencement of the wedding and a 30-minute
time frame afterward for photographs that cannot be obtained during the wedding.
If the bride's or groom's late arrival prevents a full hour from occurring
the photographer shall not be held liable for failure to take desired photographs.
COOPERATION: The parties agree to cheerful cooperation and communication
for the best possible result within the definition of this assignment. LaMana
Photography recommends that CLIENT designate an "event guide" to
point out important individuals for informal or candid photographs to the
photographer during the wedding that they wish to have photographed. The photographer
will not be held accountable for not photographing desired people if there
is no one to assist in identifying people or gathering people for photographs.
LaMana Photography is not responsible if key individuals fail to appear or
cooperate during photography sessions or for missed images due to details
not revealed to LaMana Photography.
SHOOTING TIME / ADDITIONS: The photography schedule and selected methodology
are designed to accomplish the goals and wishes of the CLIENT in a manner
enjoyed by all parties. CLIENT and LaMana Photography agree that cheerful
cooperation and punctuality are therefore essential to that purpose. Shooting
commences at the scheduled start time.
HOUSE RULES: The photographer is limited by the guidelines of the ceremony
official or reception site management. CLIENT agrees to accept the technical
results of their imposition on the photographer. Negotiation with the officials
for moderation of guidelines is Client's responsibility; LaMana Photography
will offer technical recommendations only.

photographs produced by LaMana Photography are protected by Federal Copyright
Law (all rights reserved) and may not be reproduced in any manner without

to the CLIENT under the following conditions:
The negatives and or slides are the property of CLIENT for personal use and
for the purposes of the reproduction and giving of photographs to friends

The Client must obtain written permission from and compensate LaMana Photography
prior to the CLIENT or its friends and relatives publishing or selling the
photographs for profit.
EXHIBITION: Requests for specific negatives or slides to be used by
LaMana Photography may be requested at a future time. CLIENT grants LaMana
Photography permission to display selected images resulting from this assignment

make every effort to secure a replacement photographer. If the situation should
occur and a suitable replacement is not found, responsibility and liability
