Portrait and event photography coverage
It covers the photography coverage described in the accepted proposal for your project, including the shoot time, the editing, and the way I deliver your finished gallery. By signing, you’re booking my time and agreeing to the terms below so the day runs smoothly and you know exactly what to expect.
What you get
I’ll provide photography coverage for your project as described in the accepted proposal. My job on the day is to show up ready, manage light and pace, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and then deliver a consistent, finished set of images.
Your deliverables are listed below. If you want to add coverage time, locations, specific groupings, or anything outside that list, I’m happy to help. I’ll confirm any added cost or schedule impact in writing before I do the extra work, so there are no surprises later.
* Pre-shoot call * Shot list and timing notes * On-site photography coverage * Edited online gallery * Download links and sharing * Personal print release
Payment
To book photography coverage, you’ll sign and pay 50% of the total price. That booking payment holds your date and time on my calendar and turns down other work for the same window.
The remaining 50% is due when I deliver the finished online gallery. Each invoice is payable within 14 days of its date. If a payment is late, I’ll pause any new editing, gallery delivery, downloads, or print releases until the account is back up to date. If you think there’s an issue with an invoice, tell me right away so I can fix it quickly.
Edits and tweaks
My editing includes culling and a color correction pass for a consistent, finished gallery in my style. You’re hiring me for that look and for a complete set that tells the day well, not every frame I capture.
One revision round is included. A revision round means you send one written list of reasonable tweaks on delivered images, like small exposure shifts, black and white swaps, or warmer or cooler color. It does not include re-editing the whole gallery, heavy retouching, body changes, object removal, or recreating a different style. If you want more than the included round, I’ll quote it and get your OK in writing before I continue.
Who can use the photos
I keep the copyright to the photos I make. Once you’ve paid in full, you get a personal-use license to download, share, and print the finished images from your gallery, and I’ll provide a personal print release for personal printing.
Personal use covers things like sharing with friends and family, posting on social media, and printing for your home. Commercial use, brand ads, paid promotions, publication use, or any use tied to a business needs my written permission first, so I can make sure it’s licensed correctly. I do not deliver RAW files or my working files. My presets, tools, and editing process stay mine.
Portfolio use
I may use a small selection of finished images from your project as portfolio work. That includes my website, social media, sample albums, and submissions that are part of showing what I do.
If you want privacy, tell me in writing before the shoot and I’ll honor it. Privacy requests can be broad, like “no posting at all,” or specific, like “no faces,” “no kids,” or “wait until after a certain date.” If you raise privacy after the shoot, I’ll do my best to accommodate it, but I can’t always pull back images that have already been shared or printed as samples.
If something goes wrong
I take your date seriously, and I plan carefully so the day stays covered. If I can’t photograph your project due to a serious emergency, I’ll tell you as soon as I can and I’ll help you look for a replacement photographer if you want. If you choose not to move forward, I’ll return what you’ve paid me for coverage I did not deliver.
I’m not responsible for things outside my control that affect photos or timing, like venue rules, closed locations, delayed schedules, or guests stepping into the aisle. I’ll work with what’s happening in real time and I’ll keep you moving, but I can’t promise coverage of moments that aren’t accessible or don’t occur.
Ending or changing the booking
If you need to cancel, tell me as soon as you can so I can release the date. Any cancellation fees, credits, or reschedule rules for this project are set in your booking invoice.
If your date, location, or timeline changes after booking, I’ll do my best to adjust. If the change adds coverage time on-site, extra travel, or additional sessions, I’ll confirm the added cost in writing before I proceed. If the project ends early for reasons outside my control, you’re still responsible for the booked coverage window. If it ends early because of me, I’ll reduce the final amount to match the coverage I actually delivered and I’ll hand over the finished work that’s been paid for.
