If this should happen, I will do my best to find a replacement photographer who I feel works as well as myself or better. If I can not find a replacement you will recieve a full refund of all deposits paid.
9. Some photographers ask that no one else take pictures during the formal shots, what is your policy?
I do allow guests to take snapshots however they must be told that they must wait until I get my shots first. This will slow down photography, and many guests taking pictures will take the attention of the subjects away from the photograher. The diverted attention will ruin the professional pictures that you are paying for. Also, If the photographer is using light-triggered strobes the flashes will cause the strobe to fire wasting the bulb and battery life.

Yes. According to federal law, images produced by a professional are copyrighted the moment they are created. You can always ask me for re-prints.
