Rescheduling or Cancelling

Shoots Changed and/or Cancelled By You

Please note that for events resulting in the inability to attend your scheduled shoot date, time, and/or route, such as a resort or private property requiring a fee for a photographer to enter the property*, a resort or private property not allowing a photographer to enter the property*, inability to travel due to invalid travel documents, or transportation cancellations, are also considered shoots changed and cancelled by you and the following terms still apply.

Shoot reservations may be cancelled up to 15 days prior to the shoot date for a 90% refund; Flytographer retains 10% for processing and handling fee.
Within 15 days, once the shoot date and time are confirmed (ie. the “Shoot Scoop” is delivered), you may cancel up to 7 days in advance of the date and time of the reservation for a 50% refund; we will retain the 50% balance for processing and handling fees. If the Shoot Scoop has not been confirmed within this time frame, you may cancel for a 90% refund.
After your booking is confirmed and up until 7 full days of the shoot date and time we will attempt to accommodate any rescheduling request. We cannot guarantee we will be able to do so. If we cannot, you will have the option to maintain the existing reservation or to cancel as set forth in sections (a) and (b) above.
Within 7 days of the shoot date and time, all sales are final and there is no refund for cancelled shoots.
Switching photographers after the booking is made is treated as a cancellation and follows the same policies as outlined in sections (a) and (b) above. (ie. Changes to photographers up to 15 days before the shoot date OR within 7-15 days before the Shoot Scoop is delivered will be refunded 90% of the shoot fee. Within 7-15 days before the shoot date with delivery of the Shoot Scoop, you will be refunded 50% of the shoot fee, and changes to photographers within 7 days of the shoot date will not receive a refund.) In all cases if you wish to switch photographers, you must start a new inquiry for dates and times with another photographer.
For proposal booking packages that include a planning session with the photographer (e.g. “Capture the YES!“), cancellation after these planning services have been rendered will be refunded the balance of the shoot fee minus the $100 planning session fee.
Our photographers are ready to shoot in light rain or shine, but we will connect you directly with your photographer so that you can be in touch before your shoot to discuss the weather. We can never guarantee photographer availability on other dates, but they always do their very best to reschedule if there is too much rain to work with. In the unfortunate case that terrible weather makes your shoot impossible and there is no ability to reschedule, we do offer a full refund. Refunds for weather must wait to be confirmed within 24 hours of shoot date.

*In this case, our team and your photographer can make a recommendation for an alternate location for your shoot off property, however if you are unable to choose an alternate location, the above cancellation terms will apply.

Shoots Changed and/or Cancelled by Flytographer

We will make every reasonable effort to provide the services in accordance with the descriptions provided on our website. Although it is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your booking or cancel confirmed bookings, we reserve the right to do so should it become necessary or advisable. If we must cancel your booking, we will either provide you with a credit that you may use towards another booking or a full refund at our discretion.

Shoot Extensions and Late Fees

1. Should you wish to extend beyond the time of your scheduled session and the photographer is available, add-on time is charged at a rate of $165 USD per 30 mins.

For example: Your shoot is scheduled from 5:00 – 6:00pm. After your original 60 minutes is up, you decide that you would like to keep going for extra time. You may add on extra time if the photographer is available to do so. Indicate to the photographer you would like to add on additional time and verbally confirm that after the shoot, you will pay Flytographer the extra $165 USD per 30 minutes (we will send you an invoice); continue the shoot for the extra time.

2. If you arrive late for your session, any time that has passed from your original start time will be forfeited, and you may shoot for the remainder of the time you have booked. The number of photos delivered may be adjusted to reflect the actual time spent together. You may add additional time if the photographer is free; add-on time is charged at a rate of $165 USD per 30 mins.

For example: You booked a 30 minute session from 5:00 – 5:30pm. You are running late and arrive at 5:15. You have 15 minutes left in your session for shooting. At 5:30, you wish to keep going and ask the photographer if they are free to do so. Indicate to the photographer you would like to add on additional time, and verbally confirm that after the shoot, you will pay Flytographer the extra $165 USD per 30 minutes (we will send you an invoice); continue the shoot for the extra time.

3. Failure to appear for your scheduled session will be considered a “No Show” and no refund will be issued.

Additional People on Shoot

Getting great photos with a group means having ample time on your shoot to do so. In order to do that, we require shoot lengths for groups as follows:

30 mins: max 6
60 mins: max 10
90 mins: max 15

If more people show up to your shoot than you originally indicated on your booking form and the total number of people then exceeds the package requirement, extra people above the limit will be charged at $75 per person. The package length and photo quantities will remain as originally booked.

Additional Fees

You are responsible for covering additional fees and costs related to your location choice (transportation, admission fees, permits to shoot on private property, etc). Please confirm this directly with the property or location. If you wish your assigned photographer to participate in any activities, you will need to cover any applicable fees for them as well.

Photo copyright and usage

1. Your assigned Flytographer photographer retains copyrights on all images.

2. You have a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use the photos for personal use only. Under no circumstances may you use the images from your photo shoot for commercial use, profit, or photographic competition.

Gallery and photo policies

1. Your assigned Flytographer photographer selects the best images from the shoot, performs light editing, and delivers them in an online gallery with a prescribed quantity of images within your chosen package. Light editing includes cropping and colour/exposure adjustments. Your package does not include Photoshopping or extensive edits to any images.

2. Your gallery includes high-res images (2200X3300px) delivered in jpg format. To protect our photographers’ work, we never provide raw format.

3. Your gallery package includes the best images from your shoot. Neither Flytographer nor our photographers provide extra photos for compensation.

4. Flytographer retains the right to remove content in written reviews that is a privacy violation for our photographers.
