Why Is The Wedding Videography Contract Needed?

Like any other contract, a wedding videography contract is created in a way that makes the parties liable to the legal terms listed within as well as fulfill the expectations and conditions mentioned.

The contract serves various purposes – it acts as a medium for both parties to stick to their commitment. It provides a time frame for the service desired, and acts as a mode to recourse the relationship in case of disagreements or disputes between the involved parties, and so on.

More than that, the contract also labels down everything that is agreed on by both parties making it easier to follow it through.

It also helps the videographer to list down all the services he/she can provide and sets the customer’s expectations right.

What Are The Components Of The Wedding Videography Contract?

Here are the main components of a wedding videography contract and everything else:

Details of the client(s)

The wedding videography contract should include the name, complete address, and contact details of the client(s).

Wedding details

A wedding videography contract should contain the right venue details such as the complete address of the wedding venue, wedding date, the starting and ending time of video coverage, the approximate time of the ceremony, and other necessary details that the videographer wishes to be added.

Video package details

A wedding videography contract should also include information on the video package selected by the client and the travel and accommodation costs (if any).

Delivery details

A wedding videography contract may also include details of delivery like the place where the final edited video will be delivered, the number of copies needed, the date before which it should be delivered, etc.

Restrictions, filming, and environment, house rules

The section states that the videographer will only film at places where it is allowed to film. For filming at unrestricted venues such as churches, museums, historical places, etc., the client may need to seek prior permission. On the contrary, the client should be ready to accept the final result of filming.

Drone restrictions may also be included. Moreover, it can also be stated that the videographer will not be responsible for the filming quality in case of bad weather, low light, adverse weather conditions, and in other such circumstances.

Prompting

The videographer will not be responsible for not recording the desired video in case the bride and groom arrive extraordinarily late at the ceremony or in case, the order of the day was not well explained, resulting in the loss of footage.

Payment and cancellation

Wedding Video FAQs

Please read through these questions and answers. Ifyou have questions that are not clear after   reading   the  following   items,  please  feel  free   to   contact  your  principal photographer/videographer.

Q. If I want to be videotaped and photographed at the salon while getting ready, what do I have to do to be able to have you tape at a salon?

A. If you are planning on getting ready at a beauty salon, it is always a good idea to check  in  advance  to  see  if they  will  allow  you  to  take  photographs/videos  in  their building.

Q. Is it possible to video and/or photograph everyone at the wedding ceremony and reception? How long do you work with me on the day of our wedding?

A. No. It is impossible to guarantee that everyone will be filmed/photographed. As a general rule with our videos/photos, we focus solely on the bride and groom. If you want to make sure that a specific family member is filmed/photographed, you must contact us before the wedding. We will stay at the event until we get the footage we need to finish your video/capture the proceedings. If there is an event that will take place later in the evening, please let me know ahead of time so that we can make arrangements in our schedules.

Q. How do you edit our video?

A. The way we shoot and edit the video is by using candid camera film shooting and editing techniques. This means that your entire day will be condensed into an hour-long video. Also please note, that We only include the most important moments from the wedding ceremony.

Q. How do you edit our photographs?

A. While we do our best to keep editing to a honest minimum, we edit your images to enhance their natural beauty while staying true to the original emotions captured in that moment.

Q. Can we buy the raw footage? How long do you keep a master copy of our video on file?

A. Yes, we do sell the raw footage. The cost is $60USD for 2 DVDs. We keep raw footage on file for only four (4) months after you have received your wedding video. We keep a master copy of your video on hand for two years after your wedding date. After that time period, we cannot guarantee that we will have a copy of your video. We highly recommend to every couple, that you purchase some brand of media fire safe: Sentry and Brinks make these. This will ensure that you will have a copy of the video in a protected location.  Any  photos  or  videos  with  a  copyright  mark  or  professional  photographer

 

 

 

company logo will not be used in your production, unless you have obtained a release signature from the photographer.

Q. How long does it take to finish editing our video/photos? Can we make changes to the final video?

A. We finish editing your video in 4 - 6 weeks and your photos within 30days. A preview (10 photos) of your wedding day will be made available within 5 days or less. We allow changes to the final video only if mistakes were made on Walters Weddings’ part. Such mistakes include misspellings and other changes, which were discussed with us ahead of time. Other changes to the final video can be made, but there will be a charge per hour to do so. Changes to the final video, which were not caused by Walters Weddings, are billed at a rate of US$9.50 per hour with a minimum of 2 hours charged. These charges are not meant to be a deterrent, but changes to the final video that were not discussed with us ahead of time still take a great deal of additional editing time and excess materials

Q. How do we get our wedding videos/photographs when you are finished?

A. When we inform you that your video is finished, we will ship the product or hand- deliver it to you or to your after wedding address. Preview photographs and final images will be delivered electronically via Pixieset that allows for not only easy online sharing to friends and relatives but also allows for easy printing of a multitude of print products at any size you desire.
