FOR WEDDING/EVENT CLIENTS

 

Cancellations/Rescheduling of Weddings or Events:

 

  • If the wedding/event is postponed/rescheduled and only the 40% has been paid then no money is lost it will remain on the account as a credit until your wedding day. With the remaining 60% due 2 weeks prior to your new date.

     

  • If the wedding/event is postponed/rescheduled and the entire balance is paid at 100% then no  money is lost it will remain on the account as a credit until your new wedding day.

     

  •  If the wedding/event is cancelled in its entirety the 40% is non refundable but will remain on the   account as a credit for other photography services or as gift certificates for friends and family. If the 60% has not been paid 2 weeks prior at this point then it will not  remain due. If the 60% has been paid that portion will be refunded in its entirety within 30 days of the cancellation.

 

Extra Wedding/Event Time:

 

  • Additional time for your photographer may be purchased if it does not fit into the wedding/event collection. This HAS to be discussed at least 4 weeks prior to your event.

 

Late Fees for Weddings/Events:

  • If the balance is not paid by the 2 week deadline there is a $25 fee per day that will be added until you pay the balance.

     

  • ALL late fees must be paid by midnight the day before your wedding/event. If the balance remains unpaid by midnight the day before the event then the 40% deposit will be un-refundable and the photographer is under NO obligation to perform services.

 

Photographer(s) meals at Wedding/Events:

 

  • If the event is longer than 4 hours in length a meal must be provided for the photographer(s) during the reception. No seating is required at a formal table. Photographer(s) usually take the meal into the kitchen to eat while guests eating. (This is done, about the same time guests eat, because usually no one likes their pictures taken while they’re eating.)
