The remaining balance will be due 7 days prior to the event. 

Session Proofs: Client/AR will then receive access to an online photo viewing gallery. Here you can order prints and products from our trusted pro lab and delivered right to your door. Images will be available for high-resolution download with included licensing agreement herein. There will be a link that can also be shared with the attendees, if you choose, so they can also download images from the event.

Photographer retains the right to edit the photographs as he/she sees fit based on experience and expertise and omit any image(s) that do not meet his/her standards.

Location Costs & Fees: In the event that a requested location has any costs/fees associated, you, the client/AR, will be responsible for those fees.
