CineMotive
These terms outline the general conditions for working with CineMotive. Your formal booking agreement may include additional details specific to your wedding, collection, inclusions, dates, locations and payment schedule.
A signed agreement and booking deposit are required before any wedding date is secured.
To secure your wedding date, a booking deposit of $2,000 is required.
Your date is not confirmed until the deposit has been received and your booking agreement has been completed.
The remaining balance is due 10 days before the wedding date. Payments may be made by EFT or credit card.
If a booking is cancelled less than two months before the wedding date, the booking deposit is forfeited. An amount equal to 30% of the remaining balance may also be payable.
If the wedding is postponed due to illness, family emergency or circumstances outside your control, CineMotive will make reasonable efforts to transfer the booking deposit to a new date, subject to availability.
If the original team is unavailable for the new date, CineMotive may assign an alternative team.
Additional photography or cinematography coverage may be available on the day, subject to team availability.
Additional time is charged at $280 per hour, per photographer or cinematographer. If coverage extends more than 15 minutes into an additional hour, the full additional hour will be charged.
CineMotive retains copyright in all photographic and video material.
Once full payment has been received, clients receive personal usage rights to the final delivered photographs and films.
CineMotive may use selected images and films for portfolio, website, social media, advertising and promotional purposes, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Raw files are not included unless agreed in writing before the wedding.
Final photographs and films are generally delivered within 8–12 weeks after the wedding date.
Delivery times may vary during peak wedding seasons or where additional editing, album design or client selections are required.
Photo editing is completed in CineMotive’s signature style. Additional retouching or requested changes after delivery may be quoted at $250 per hour.
Teaser films are edited at CineMotive’s creative discretion and are not subject to revisions.
Highlight film amendments may be requested and are charged at $250 per revision round, unless otherwise agreed.
Standard long-form documentary edits are designed to preserve the natural flow, live audio and key events of the day. Edit changes are not available for this style of film.
For coverage exceeding 8 hours, a complete vendor meal must be provided for each CineMotive team member.
If meals are not provided, the team may take a 45-minute off-site break.
Clients are responsible for advising CineMotive of all locations, access requirements, parking restrictions, permits, travel requirements and timing changes before the wedding day.
CineMotive will make reasonable efforts to work within the provided schedule and conditions.
CineMotive will work respectfully with clients, guests and other vendors.
CineMotive is not responsible for missed photographs, footage, delays or disruptions caused by guest behaviour, vendor delays, restricted access, weather, timeline changes or circumstances outside our control.
If CineMotive is unable to perform due to illness, emergency, accident or circumstances beyond reasonable control, we will make reasonable efforts to provide an alternative team.
If no suitable alternative is available, liability is limited to the amount paid by the client for the affected service.
CineMotive holds public liability insurance for the protection of our team, clients and venues.
Additional travel and accommodation fees may apply for weddings outside the Sydney metropolitan area.
For regional NSW weddings, travel costs are calculated based on distance from Sydney. Overnight accommodation may be required.
For interstate weddings, flights, accommodation and transport may be required for two team members.
All travel arrangements and costs will be discussed and agreed during the booking process.
These Terms and Conditions provide a general overview only.
All confirmed bookings are subject to a separate written agreement, which outlines the specific details, inclusions, fees and conditions for your wedding.
If you have questions about these terms, please contact CineMotive before confirming your booking.
