T & C's

Terms and Conditions
Example Shoot: Full day shoot Photography & Videography and or either. ( Terms are applied to ANY two magpies media shoot for business, promo, events etc.)

Any persons either individual or company are deemed to have accepted these terms upon starting of filming UNLESS a seperate clause has been specifically added in writing and signed. We invite all clients to familiarise themselves with these terms and conditions.

Photography
Two Magpies Media will be with you for the agreed time. They will be prepared to capture your wedding day as discussed or as we will discuss. Any specific requests you have will be implemented and fully planned before the wedding.
Unless stated otherwise by yourselves your photographer will constantly take pictures throughout the day and organise your group pictures. We will suggest certain combinations for pictures however again we will work with you to get what you are looking for. Time permitting we will also take you and your partner for a short shoot by yourselves whilst your guests enjoy the day.
Videography
Two Magpies Media will provide professional videographers equipped to record the day’s events in full HD and with Public Liability Insurance. The videographers will be with you filming within a time period agreed, capturing key events such as:
Preparations
Guest Arrivals
Ceremony
Guests pre-breakfast
Photographs
Speeches
Cake Cutting
1st Dance
Dancing
The agreed time period will not include set-up time. Staff will ensure they are at the venue at least one hour before the stated start time. Videographers and Photographers will attempt to be as discreet as possible; however, we will be aware of the importance of getting the relevant footage which may mean we are occasionally visible in certain shots.
Pre-Wedding
Time permitting, we will try (if necessary) to view your chosen venues before the wedding, to ensure we have the correct equipment on the day and can plan our positions. If this is made difficult due to short notice, we will bring extra equipment to accommodate any common issues (bad lighting, acoustics). Of course, if a meeting is part of your chosen package we will liaise with you to arrange an appropriate time to meet. We try to contact all venues if we have not shot there before, however we do ask that you ensure they have no restrictions in place for filming or photography (some places particularly churches do not allow flash photography or even videographers).

10. Post Production
We will aim to show you at least the highlight video within a few weeks of the wedding/event however our speed will depend on how busy we are. You will receive the fully edited video within eight weeks (this is just to cover ourselves, we will aim to be far quicker) unless complications arise. Once created and delivered, any additional changes will require an extra charge, unless fault is with us. If you wish to display your videos publicly (ie online) this may breach copyright laws. Speak to us and we can work out a way of making a video using royalty free music.
The number of photographs you receive will be relevant to your chosen package. We will select and edit a few samples, and send them shortly after the wedding for you to enjoy whilst the main pictures are being selected for you to make your final choices for your photobook (if included in the previously discussed packages). Thousands of pictures can be taken through the day, so it may take a little time to choose however like the video we put a 8 weeks max time limit but will of course aim to be much quicker, and you will have a small selection no later than 14 days after the wedding.
11. Travel and Accommodation:
• Travel to and from venue and portrait locations will need to be arranged independently as Two Magpies Media are unable to transport passengers in their vehicle.
• Two Magpies Media will recover the cost of travel expenses where the wedding or shoot is within England, Cornwall and Wales. Travel outside of these areas will incur travel costs which will be agreed between both parties prior to final booking.
• It may be necessary to travel in the evening prior to the wedding to avoid traffic and other problems when the travel time exceeds 1.5 hours and it may also be necessary to stay overnight where a wedding runs late into the night. And is considered unsafe to drive home. The cost of accommodation shall be reimbursed from the client with regards to late running and distant weddings. All of the above, including the cost will be agreed prior to final booking.
• All travel costs will be agreed by both parties prior to booking.
12. Payments and Refunds
Should you choose to move forward, we will send or would have sent a short survey to collect relevant information needed for filing and we will also draft an invoice to collect payment. We accept bank and online transfers and Pay-Pal payments (small charge relevant to PayPal rules). The deposit will be at least £150 off the full amount and will need to be paid to secure the booking. The remaining balance will be due 4 weeks before the wedding/event. Deposits, including full payments as a deposit are non-refundable (50% of upfront payments will be refundable up until two weeks before the wedding). Full payment is refundable up until two hours before our call time on the day If we:
Fail to show
Are late (If the fault is with us and miss the ceremony)
Fail to shoot (due to equipment failure, negligence etc.)
Lose all footage or pictures
Fail to provide you with what was promised on time (not including instances in which we are waiting to hear back from you)
If a pandemic (such as Covid 19) forces you to postpone your date and we’re unable to accommodate, we will refund you 100% of your deposit.
We reserve the right to cancel a booking if we do not receive payment before the stated deadline. Your payment will be taken as your acceptance of our terms. Please check before payment that all relevant venues allow filming.
We do not accept any kind of abuse to any member of staff and may refuse to continue filming in the event of being exposed to unacceptable behaviour or if the situation is unresolved. A refund will not be given if we are forced to stop.
All being said, we endeavour to be as flexible and accommodating as possible. We enjoy what we do and want to make the best possible film of your special day and provide amazing photographs
