Frequently Asked Questions

Does the cover include wedding photography?

Yes. Wedding photography is covered. However, large events may need higher cover or event liability. Discuss your event sizes with your insurer.

What if my tripod falls and injures someone?

Your public liability covers the injury. This is why proper equipment setup and safety is critical at all events.

Am I covered if the venue prohibits my photography?

Public liability covers accidental injury from your work. If you violate venue rules, the venue may sue you separately—that's not an insurance matter.

Does the cover include online photography contests or competitions?

Liability is based on your physical activities. Online-only photography contests don't have physical liability risks. Standard photography cover applies.
