Terms of Service

Services and estimates

Service pages describe the available packages. Your selected package or written quote identifies coverage, photographs or products, delivery timing and any agreed expenses. Custom work requires the studio to confirm the scope and availability.

The wedding calculator provides an estimate using current studio pricing and the selected consecutive duration. Moment times are editable planning estimates. Travel, transitions and gaps within the selected coverage interval still count toward consecutive time. An estimate or inquiry does not reserve a date or confirm a booking.

Booking and payment

The booking flow shows the total, amount due now and any remaining payment schedule before payment. Directly bookable sessions are confirmed only after the required payment succeeds and the booking system confirms the session. Opening checkout or returning from Stripe is not proof of a successful payment. Custom wedding requests require the studio’s availability review and the separately agreed booking requirements.

Mini’s retainer is 50% of the final session price, rounded to the nearest cent. Mini is paid in full at booking; the other half is prepayment beyond the retainer. For other packages, use the retainer and payment schedule identified in the checkout summary or written agreement. Paying in full does not make the entire price a retainer.

Any separately quoted travel, permits or other expenses must be identified and agreed before you commit to them. This website policy adds no tax, late fee, cancellation penalty or extra-hour rate. Read the Refund & Cancellation Policy before paying.

Refund and cancellation terms

Planning and changes

Provide accurate contact, date and location details and tell the studio promptly about changes. Access rules, venue permissions, available time, weather and participants’ cooperation can affect which photographs are possible. Discuss essential photographs and any access or accessibility needs during planning. Changes to scope or additional paid services require agreement; no additional service is automatically charged.

Photograph rights and deliverables

For photographs created and owned by the studio, the studio retains copyright. Clients may download, print and share their delivered photographs for personal use. Commercial, advertising or other business use requires a separate written license. A different ownership or license arrangement must be expressly agreed in writing.

The package or written quote controls the edited photographs, prints and delivery schedule included. RAW files are supplied only if explicitly agreed in writing. Contact the studio promptly about a delivery problem so it can be reviewed against the agreed service; these terms do not remove any remedy required by law.

Gallery availability

Delivered galleries remain available for at least one month after delivery, with longer availability at the studio’s discretion. Download and keep your delivered photographs. Permanent gallery or archive storage is not included unless separately agreed. This minimum does not override a valid privacy request or legal requirement.

Optional publication permission

Portfolio, social media and advertising use requires separate, optional permission. Declining publication permission does not prevent booking. Appropriate parent or guardian authorization is required before publishing children’s photographs. Purchasing a session or receiving a personal-use license does not by itself grant the studio permission to use your likeness in advertising.

Website use and privacy

Do not attempt unauthorized access, interfere with the website or submit another person’s private information without authority. Keep private links with their intended recipients. The Privacy Policy and Cookie & Tracking Policy explain information use and optional tracking choices.

Existing agreements and updates

These terms take effect on October 21, 2026. They do not retroactively rewrite an existing signed agreement. If a session-specific written agreement sets different agreed terms, that agreement controls the session, subject to rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Any change to an existing booking must be agreed with the studio rather than inferred from a website update.

Later website updates will show a new effective date and apply prospectively. Nothing here waives a right or remedy that applicable law does not allow to be waived.

Questions and accessibility

Email [email protected] about service terms, a payment question or an accessibility barrier. For an accessibility issue, identify the page and the task you were trying to complete without sending unnecessary personal information. An alternative way to arrange your session can be discussed.
