Important Booking Terms and Conditions Please Read As this is a binding agreement
You can also set preference to CJ or Angela during booking. Since we work together our style, approach, equipment, strategies, and experience is nearly identical - leading to a consistent outcome. You may also reach out directly to confirm availability as we may have additional coverage options.
You can book your date with a 50% deposit payment. The remaining 50% is due 30 days prior to your event. If your event is taking place within 30 days at the time of booking, the remaining 50% is due 3 days prior to your event date. If your booking is taking place within 3 days we require full payment, and your deposit will only hold your date for 24 hours. We require payment in full prior to your event. Any cancelations result in the loss of any deposits made. All payments made are non refundable, non transferable, and cannot be converted to cash value.
We charge $100 if your package is not paid in full. If your package is split into payments, we add the $50 into the price during invoicing along with travel charges if applicable. Travel charges are invoiced after booking separately even with full payment. The $50 is not eligible for any coupons or promotions.
If we created a unique payment schedule, or you chose our 50% down option, all payments must be made on time.
You needn’t be concerned about us attending your event, your event is our top priority as this is our business. We will be there for your event. We have these policies in place for both our safety and because we do not want to harm our relationship with our customers by being put in a place of needing to chase clients for past due payments. When you book us we rely on you as much as you rely on us.
If payments are not made on time we reserve the right to cancel your booking and relist the availability. Any payments made until that point in time will be forfeited for having saved your date in the interim. This is because once we hold your date, we turn down business. Even a 1 hour event results in blocking off as much as 5 to 6 hours of availability as we must allow for travel time between locations as well as buffer time.
If there is extreme weather, we will allow rescheduling of your outdoor photography session (not applicable to events), however this means that it is actively raining during that specific time slot, and this rescheduling is initiated by the photographer the day of the event or the day before the event. You can always reach out directly to us if you are concerned about impending weather.
If the unthinkable happens and you have no choice but to cancel, we will offer you a discount during rebooking, however you would have to rebook your session and we would not refund your prior commitment. We understand this is a gray area, but just understand our goal is to take the best possible pictures, however we are not able to reschedule without incurring cost, which is why any payments made are nonrefundable, non transferable, not redeemable for credit, even for event cancelation.
There are travel calculators you can use, located below the packages to determine travel fees. Keep in mind that any travel fees are calculated post booking and invoiced separately. If you have not already determined potential travel charges, please double check the travel calculator on this page with your exact location address for any travel charges. If the values do not appear to be reasonable, please reach out for a custom quote here on our contact page. The travel charges are designed for locations within a specific radius, and as the distance increases it does not take into account mounting travel costs. We also need a method to prevent accidental bookings in locations that would require overnight travel, and therefore need to account for unexpected travel charges to distant locations if booked online. We will not charge exorbitant travel charges, so don’t let that keep you from booking your photography session.
How Do Travel Charges Work?
To determine your travel charge, we use the furthest distance that we travel to on your wedding day, so if you have multiple locations, i.e. ceremony, getting ready, or reception, we will use the largest value between the three. However we will use the shortest route available, even if we take more expensive toll routes.
These additional charges help cover our additional travel time, tolls, and gasoline and on multiple vehicles at times.
If your travel fees come back enormous, please reach out here as we occasionally have promotions to greatly reduce or waive some travel fees. Travel fees are usually the cost of lodging and airfare for more distant weddings. The method below calculates for weddings that take place relatively close as larger distances of travel do not take into account amounting sums that have surpassed travel costs.

No travel charges within your package’s allotted miles from the house Taylor Swift Grew up in (Don’t ask us why), click here to view the exact Google Maps Point .
Calculating travel charges are easy,
We use the shortest distance provided by Google Maps
We look at the one way from Taylor’s Childhood Home to the location of the furthest location that we drive to on your wedding day.
We take that number, let’s say its 105 miles, and we subtract 95 from it if the package allotment is 95 miles.
We charge $5 per additional mile.
You are invoiced a separate travel charge. In our example it would be an additional $50. We do this to help cover the cost of travel, tolls, and extra time spent on the road for the entirety of the drive.
If the value comes back preposterous, just reach out here, and we’ll give you a custom quote. For example if you’re in Miami Florida this comes out to $5,000+. If you want to consider it a tip we won’t say no!
