All service fees are clearly stated at the time of booking.

The remaining balance is due after the session or event. No refunds will be issued once payment has been received, unless otherwise determined at the photographer/videographer’s sole discretion.

2. Return Time / Delivery Timeline

Final edited photos and/or video deliverables will be delivered within 7 days after the client completes final selection or provides required approvals, unless an expedited editing option has been purchased.

If expedited editing is selected, delivery will occur within 3 days after selection or approval.

Delivery timelines may be extended due to client delays, late selections, late feedback, technical issues, high booking volume, or force majeure events. Any significant delays will be communicated.

A $30 late fee applies if the client arrives more than 20 minutes late. If the delay exceeds 30 minutes, the session may be canceled without refund.

6. Client Cooperation & Creative Brief

Clients agree to provide timely communication, clear creative direction, and any requested references or approvals necessary to complete the project. Delays caused by incomplete information, indecision, or late responses will extend delivery timelines.
