So I'm relatively new to wedding photography and I shot my second wedding a few weeks ago. The bride isn't happy with the images, but in 24 hours she's gone from not knowing that photographers use Photoshop to being a reportage critic.
My question isn't about the quality of my images, it's more about a term used in the standard T&Cs the AOP provides.
It states "in the event of Total Photographic Failure". She's claiming that's what's happened. It's more a case of she just doesn't like the images or doesn't want to pay.
To my mind, Total Photographic Failure relates to the operation of the equipment, for example if I'd arrived home and the memory cards had wiped.
Association of PhotographersWho are the AOP? and a link to their T&C's would be very helpful.

I'm impressed by your commitment, i seen the first line and thought "na your alright"That's who I thought they were, but there is nothing in their T&C's that mention "Total Photographic Failure". And I read all four different sets: England & Wales: Scotland; Northern Ireland, and Eire.
Only take s a few bad images in the album to be able to take a tog to court and win a CCJ against him.
My daughter did exactly that.
It would be interesting to get more details.
perhaps the bride was expecting a reportage type coverage and she has ended up with fine art instead..who knows only the original poster can now enlighten our inquisitive minds...
Surely it must take a lot more than that? I mean on average a wedding photographer must be delivering 300,400,500+ images across the day, even if the bride doesn’t like 10% of them, that is quite harsh to disregard the rest of the photographs?
Otherwise nothing else really is acceptable. You should know what you are doing, and be capable and in control of any situation.
is complete nonsense.If your portfolio is that barren and lacklustre that you need to give away a wedding package, then you are really not ready to be a wedding photographer.
… I also years ago undertook some lower paid wedding photography, definitely not giving it away, just people requesting discounts, and it's the same with these budget brides being budget in every way, cheap location, low end guests not dressed smartly, cheap décor etc. I mean I do my best, work with what I have, and they were always happy, but they were never images I could use for my portfolio.
