Photographic Policy and Insurance<br />
<strong>Lincolnshire</strong> County Council - Photographic Policy<br />
The following bullet points should act as guidance for photography at ceremonies.<br />
• Couples should be asked to identify (on the ceremony plan) the name of the official<br />
(i.e. professional) photographer or to nominate by name a member of their party<br />
who will be taking the ‘official’ photographs<br />
• The official/nominated photographer should be introduced to the Superintendent<br />
Registrar on duty, before the ceremony and a brief chat should take place to ensure<br />
the photographer is aware of the policy<br />
• When a bride/groom/partners enter the ceremony room at the start of proceedings,<br />
all guests should be allowed to take flash photographs<br />
• The Superintendent Registrar will advise guests not to use cameras during the<br />
actual ceremony<br />
• The nominated photographer will not use flash photography during the ceremony<br />
• He/she will stand in a position agreed by the Superintendent Registrar prior to the<br />
ceremony and will not move around the room<br />
• The camera should be silent or reasonably quiet<br />
• The ceremony will not be paused to allow for photographs to be taken<br />
• Strictly no photography will be allowed by anyone during the signing of the register/<br />
schedule. This is to ensure confidentiality<br />
• Mock up signings will take place after the ceremony and signing, allowing official<br />
photographers and guests to take photographs<br />
• Consideration for the dignity and solemnity of the occasion will always be<br />
paramount<br />
• The duty staff will always make the final decision on what is permitted within these<br />
policy guidelines.<br />
Insurance<br />
Amid the excitement of your plans, there is one consideration that may be forgotten -<br />
insurance. After all, you may well be spending a lot of money on your special day and<br />
you would surely not want to risk losing everything. Just think - your suppliers may go<br />
out of business and your deposits could be lost…what if the transport doesn’t turn up<br />
or the cake and flowers don’t appear…or the photographer may let you down through<br />
illness or a simple mistake in booking…<br />
There may be an accident on your big day - breakages, or even damage to your beautiful<br />
dress. Insurance can even cover the cancellation of your ceremony. This may happen<br />
through no fault of your own, such as illness or the death of someone close.<br />
These are considerations which may be far from your mind in the flurry of plans but they<br />
are well worth discussing with your family - put it on your list!
