We understand that the balance of our wedding is due 30 days prior to the ceremony.

We understand that if we need to reschedule our wedding date the deposit will be applied toward the new date. If vendors have already been scheduled and cannot be booked for the new date, all charges for that vendor will be paid as first scheduled with the credit card on file. If we need to cancel our wedding for any reason our deposit is non-refundable. If we need to cancel our wedding within the 30 day time period we will forfeit all monies paid.

We understand that vendor prices are subject to change without notice. If a vendor raises his/her rates, we will be charged accordingly. This includes: flowers; limo; singers; harpists; photographer; minister; vidiographer; etc. Our basic wedding package will remain the same and we will be notified in advance of any changes in prices.

I agree

Your photographer must have your complete attention during the period after the wedding and until the sunset. They only have a few minutes to capture the necessary lighting for your beautiful images. Don’t let this happen to you.
