3. It is understood and agreed that no other photographer will be allowed to photograph or take pictures at the wedding while the Photographer is working, and that any breach of this agreement shall constitute a reason for non-completion of the job with no liability to the Photographer and shall result in the loss of any deposit(s) made by Contracting Party.

On signing of this agreement by both parties hereto, the Photographer will reserve the date and times agreed upon (Saturday, July 5, 2008 - starting at 2:30 p.m.) and will not make another reservation for the specific date and time frame. For this reason, all deposits are non-refundable even if the date is changed or if the wedding becomes cancelled for any reason.

6. Contracting Party hereby releases, discharges and agrees to save harmless the Photographer, its heirs, legal representatives, assigns, employees or any persons or corporations acting under permission or authority from the Photographer from and against any liability as a result of any distortion, blurring or alteration, optical illusion or use in composite form, either intentionally or otherwise, that may occur or be produced in the taking, processing or reproduction of the photographs.
