Wedding Policy and Pricing

(Paper Copy Given At Time of Booking)

We require a $ 200.00 deposit/retainer fee for all scheduled events. A full refund will be applied if we are given a written cancellation within 90 days of the scheduled event. A deposit of $100.00 reserves the date (s) and guarantees that the photo session prices will remain locked*. (*Please be aware, however, that extra pricing can occur if the contracted hours are extended due to anything other than photographer error, and additional charges can occur in the event that you wish to either alter the contract or make reorders on your own after the event takes place).

The wedding event will include pre-event photos of either the bride or groom, or both*, the wedding, and reception. The Rehearsal is not included in the fees and will be an extra charge of $100.00 (*For weddings requiring pre-event photos of both the bride and the groom where the bride and groom are in separate locations, another photographer may be required. In this case Carol Hill’s Photography and Poems will work with a sub-contracted photographer this will require a $200.00 subcontract charge, this excludes boutique packages in which case this fee is included in the package pricing)

Events requiring more than a 35-75 mile distance from Cortland, NY may be charged a flat rate fee for additional mileage of $25-$50* depending on distance, this applies to local wedding only. Out of state weddings require a $500 flat fee for traveling and lodging expenses on top of the contracted $200.00 deposit fee and a $500 deposit on Boutique Packages. We reserve the right to add additional fees as deemed appropriate. [*ask for pricing sheet]

Wedding package prices are good on all agreed upon photo sheets up to 60 days after the event has occurred. Reorders can be made anytime after that via our online storefrontusing the posted prices. Online orders are per sheet or gift item and can not be ordered in a package.

Wedding picture packages come with a CD of the event which include all edited pictures as well as a CD of all unedited pictures taken the day of the wedding. Extra CD’s for parents, grandparents etc. can be added upfront to your package price at the rate of $12.00 per CD or you may order them at our online storefront anytime after the event for the listed price. Wedding slideshow DVD's with music may also be ordered and added to your package (ask for details)

Wedding packages are NOT required. Although we try to minimize your overall cost by creating various packages that are packed full of extra savings to give you the most product for your money. The $200.00/$500 deposit fee is included in the package price and is non-refundable if cancellation occurs later than 90days prior to the event. Your final bill will reflect a deduction for your deposit and the final bill balance is due within 30 days of the event ending.
