Wedding Photo-Video Contract Terms and Conditions


1. By signing this contract, Groom and Bride (collectively, “Client”) and Sheff Production, LLC (“Sheff Production”) enter into this Wedding Photography & Videography Contract (“Contract”) to protect both Client and Sheff Production and to confirm the understanding and agreement of the parties. To the extent Client’s selected package does not include certain services or features, such as videography or a Photobooth, the provisions hereof related to such services or features shall not apply. Any modification of this Contract will not be valid unless made in a writing signed or acknowledged by both parties. Client and Sheff Production agree that digital or electronic signatures shall be binding on the parties and sufficient to execute, negotiate and finalize this Contract.

2. The deposit, payment schedule, times, dates, locations, and other important information specified in this contract are incorporated into and made part of this Contract. The total consecutive hours specified in the Contract are consecutive and cannot be stopped, paused or extended once the photographer(s) and/or videographer(s) begin shooting. Time spent in travel from one location to another and time spent eating meals does not stop, pause or extend the total consecutive hours. The hours indicated for the lead photographer and/or lead videographer shall run concurrently with the hours indicated for the associate photographer and/or associate videographer. There shall be no staggering of the hours indicated for the lead and associate photographer and videographer. In addition, the hours indicated for each of the principal and associate photographers and videographers cannot be modified or transferred from one to another. If payments are not received by Sheff Production by the dates specified, Sheff Production may, in its sole discretion, cancel Client’s reservation without any prior notice to Client. Upon cancellation of Client’s reservation pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, Sheff Production will be under no obligation to perform services at Client’s wedding or event and Client shall pay Sheff Production for all services rendered and expenses incurred prior to and including the date of cancellation plus the Cancellation Fee (as defined in Section 3 below). Client’s obligations hereunder shall survive any such cancellation as provided in Sections 2 or 3 of this Contract. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Contract that specify a time for Client’s performance of Client’s obligations. The parties who sign this Contract are responsible for all terms and conditions regardless of whether a third party individual(s) agrees to make payments to Sheff Production. Should the third party payer (such as a parent) dispute any charges and/or refuse to make any payments required by this Contract, the parties to this Contract (i.e., each Client)are legally bound to make all deposits and pay all amounts due to Sheff Production under this Contract.

3. (a) Sheff Production must be notified of any changes in the date, time or location of the event or any other changes affecting the services to be provided under this Contract. Upon notice of any changes in the date, time or location of the event (including, without limitation, Client’s cancellation of the wedding), it shall be within Sheff Production’s sole discretion to (A) deem the change to be a cancellation of this Contract by Client and collect payment for all services rendered and expenses incurred prior to and including the date of cancellation plus the Cancellation Fee as provided herein; or (B) accommodate the changed time, date or location, at the rate in effect at the time of the change. If there is an agreed-upon change to the wedding date, Client shall pay a rebooking fee equal to $250 plus any other additional reinstatement or rebooking fees at the time Sheff Production agrees to accommodate the change. If there is an agreed-upon change to the location, Client agrees to pay any additional travel and expense costs associated with the changed location in accordance with Section 19 of this Contract.

(b) In the event of a cancellation as provided in Section 2 or this Section 3, Client shall pay Sheff Production for all services rendered and expenses incurred or advanced prior to and including the date of cancellation (including, without limitation, any fees already paid to Sheff Production photographers or videographers subcontracted by Sheff Production or its affiliate) plus 50% of the total Contract amount as liquidated damages for Client’s breach of this Contract and not as a penalty (the “Cancellation Fee”). If this Contract is cancelled pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 less than six (6) months prior to the wedding date, the Cancellation Fee due to Sheff Production shall include an additional 10% of the total Contract amount for each additional month the cancellation is closer to the wedding date (in addition to payment for all services rendered by Sheff Production or its affiliates or its contractors and expenses incurred or advanced prior to and including the date of cancellation). For example, if Client cancels this contract four months prior to the wedding date, the Cancellation Fee payable by Client to Sheff Production shall be equal to 70% of the total Contract amount (plus Client shall pay Sheff Production for all services rendered by Sheff Production or its affiliates or its contractors prior to and including the date of cancellation). For weddings cancelled less than one (1) month prior to the wedding date, the Cancellation Fee payable by Client to Sheff Production shall be equal to the entire Contract amount. If Client cancels this Contract (due to a cancelled wedding, postponement or for any other reasons) and wishes to reinstate this Contract, Client shall pay a reinstatement fee to Sheff Production equal to $250 plus all other applicable fees, including, without limitation, the fees payable under Section 3(a) for changes to the wedding date or location.

(c) Sheff Production shall retain the amounts payable to Sheff Production pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 from any deposit made by Client prior to cancellation. The Cancellation Fee may exceed the deposit made by Client. If the Cancellation Fee exceeds the deposit, Client remains responsible for all amounts due and owing to Sheff Production pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Contract. If the deposit provided by Client to Sheff Production is insufficient to cover the amounts due for the services rendered by Sheff Production prior to and including the date of cancellation and the Cancellation Fee as provided in Sections 2 and 3, Client shall pay any additional amount required hereunder within seven (7) days of such cancellation. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Contract, the initial payment or deposit made by Client under this Contract is not refundable under any circumstances. If there is a deposit balance remaining after all payments required hereunder are made to Sheff Production, the balance shall be refunded to Client. If applicable, and at the direction and designation of Sheff Production, Client shall pay all amounts due to Sheff Production pursuant to this Agreement to Sheff Production’s affiliate.
