Wedding Videography Terms and Conditions — Nathan Sixsmith Photography
Booking Consent: By hiring Nathan Sixsmith Photography you are consenting to the terms outlined below for your wedding videography booking.
Disclaimer: Nathan Sixsmith Photography does not tolerate malicious trolling or obscene language on its Facebook or Instagram pages. Any posts suspected of trolling or containing inappropriate language will be removed and the contributor banned from any future posting.

Payment: A 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking. The remaining balance is due before the delivery of your film. Payments can be made via bank transfer. Payment details will be provided on your invoice.
Separate Booking to Photography: Wedding videography is booked separately to wedding photography. Each service deserves full attention on the day, and Nathan Sixsmith Photography does not offer combined photography and videography coverage at the same wedding.
Photo Booth Add-On: A photo booth is available as an add-on with the full wedding videography package only. It is not available as an add-on with ceremony-only videography bookings. Full terms for photo booth hire are outlined on the Photo Booth Terms and Conditions page.
Delivery of Video: All clients are offered digital downloads of their finished film via Google Drive or the Nathan Sixsmith Photography website. Edited video will be delivered within 2-6 weeks of the wedding date. Please note that Google Drive links will remain active for 12 months from the date of delivery, and website galleries will remain active for 14 months from the date of delivery. Clients are encouraged to download and back up their video files before these periods expire as Nathan Sixsmith Photography cannot guarantee access after these timeframes. USB drives containing the finished video can be provided for an additional fee of $60 (including postage), included with the full wedding videography package. Please allow 2-6 weeks for USB delivery unless it can be dropped off locally.
USB Drives: USB drives are provided as a physical backup only and are supplied with no warranty once delivered. Nathan Sixsmith Photography is not responsible for USB drives that are lost, damaged, or fail after delivery, and recommends clients copy the contents to a computer or external storage as soon as possible. The USB drive should not be relied upon as a sole backup.
Raw Footage: Nathan Sixsmith Photography does not provide unedited raw footage under any circumstances. Clients receive the final edited film only.
Music and Copyright: Your edited film includes the music played and performed during your day, including your ceremony, speeches, first dance and background music at your reception. Nathan Sixsmith Photography does not add separate music to your film. As this music is commercial and not separately licensed for online platforms, finished films are not uploaded to YouTube, as YouTube's copyright detection can result in videos being muted or taken down. Clients wishing to share their film online are encouraged to use platforms such as Google Drive, Vimeo with privacy settings, or by sharing the file directly.
Weather Policy: Weather is outside of anyone's control and Nathan Sixsmith Photography will always do their best to work with the conditions on the day. For weddings, Nathan Sixsmith Photography will adapt to whatever the day brings.
Late Arrival: Your booked coverage begins at the agreed start time. If you arrive late, your coverage will still conclude at the originally scheduled end time unless a prior arrangement has been made. Nathan Sixsmith Photography will not be held responsible for missed footage or reduced coverage as a result of late arrival.
Force Majeure: In the unlikely event that Nathan Sixsmith Photography is unable to attend your booking due to illness, injury, family emergency or any other circumstances beyond their control, Nathan Sixsmith Photography will make every effort to find a suitable replacement videographer of comparable skill and style.

Nathan Sixsmith Photography's liability is limited to the refund of payments received and no further compensation will be provided.

Limitation of Liability: Nathan Sixsmith Photography carries backup camera equipment on the day and keeps backup copies of client footage during the editing and delivery process, to minimise the risk of data loss.
