Wedding Contract & Policies
My Photography Shooting & Editing Style
By booking with Kenzy Dawn Photography, you acknowledge and agree that my distinct shooting and editing style aligns with your preferences, and that your final wedding photos will be delivered to reflect this.
Venues & Formal Shooting Locations
Wedding days include hours of shooting in multiple locations. We are not guaranteed golden hour lighting or overcast throughout the day, meaning lighting situations can be tricky. The photographer will use her judgement and professional opinion to make decisions that will offer the best outcome. If the clients choose a location that does not provide the best lighting they understand how this may impact their photos as a result. Additionally, not all ceremony and reception locations offer much natural lighting, or none at all. The photographer will use her judgement and professional opinion to make adjudgments with camera settings and an external flash if necessary. The clients must agree that lighting will make an impact on the end result for indoor locations. (IE: The dreamy sunset outdoor photos will not look the same as the indoor reception party photos)
Your Wedding Package
By signing this document you acknowledge the wedding package you have chosen, including the engagement session (if included), the photography coverage time on your wedding day, access to your gallery, your fine art prints if included in your package and your custom USB.
Agreed Upon Payment
Upon choosing your wedding package you have been sent an invoice outlining the package investment including taxes. A non-refundable 30% deposit is required to book your wedding date and the remaining balance is due within 7 days of your wedding. Should your wedding run late and the photographer is asked to stay later than the agreed upon time, the clients understand that an additional fee of $300 will be due for each hour above the original agreed upon coverage time.
Cancellation and Rescheduling
Should the clients cancel their wedding, the deposit remains nonrefundable. If the clients reschedule their wedding, the deposit remains nonrefundable and the remaining balance is due within 7 days of the new wedding date. If the clients reschedule their wedding and the photographer is not available, the deposit remains nonrefundable.
Travel Expenses and Accommodations
Should the wedding take place 60km outside of Saskatoon, a per km fee of $.70 will be added to your wedding invoice and due at the same time as your wedding balance. If the wedding takes place a minimum of 2 hours past Saskatoon an accommodation fee may be applied - pending the photography coverage time.
Uncontrollable Circumstances
The clients understand that there may be uncontrollable circumstances that the photographer has no control over. Such circumstances include: weather, timing, venue changes, missing guests or bridal party members and guests who may obstruct the photographers view.
The Shot List
The clients must fill out the shot list included and give it to the photographer at least one week prior to their wedding.
The Reception Dinner
Should the photographer be required to stay during the reception dinner, the clients provide the photographer dinner and a designated spot at a table. The spot does not need to be closer to the head table, when it is time to take pictures I will just get up and move around!
Guests Cellphones and Camera Use
The photographer shall take precedence over all attendees for photography related events during the scheduled coverage time. Phones and Cameras can obstruct and interfere with your photos. Please know that if any images do become impacted by a wedding guest, the clients must understand and accept that I am not responsible for these obstructions.
Your Wedding Gallery
My turnaround time for wedding photography is 4-6 weeks. Prior to your gallery being released you may see some images posted as a sneak peek. When your gallery is finished, you will be sent an email with the link to the gallery. You will be asked to create a password so that you can log in to your gallery at any time, from any device. Within this gallery you will be able to view, favourite, and download your images. Your gallery will remain active for 3 months. Your wedding gallery will be on my hard-drive for 6 months. After this time I cannot guarantee to have access to your gallery. To avoid a loss of your gallery, download your images as soon as you can, and store your USB in a safe place.
Fine Art Prints (Premium Package Only)
In your wedding package you will receive 8 5 x 7 Fine Art Prints in a linen folio box. This box will also contain your custom USB. Within the first 30 days of your gallery being active, please favourite the images you would like as your prints. You can favourite your images by clicking the heart icon on each photo. I have access to your gallery and can see the images you choose. If no photos have been selected, or I have not been able to communicate with you regarding your Fine Art Prints within the 3 months that your gallery is online - you will no longer be able to order your product.
Image Protection and Copywrite
Any and all images given to you, taken and edited by Kenzy Dawn Photography, must remain unaltered. Cropping and editing your images is prohibited. You are also not given RAW images or unedited files taken by the photographer.
