Why do we need the copyright release?
Your wedding photographer owns the copyright to all your images. We provide you with the copyright release, which allows you unlimited personal use and reproduction of your pictures. However, You can not sell those photographs. We might also ask for your permission to publish images from your wedding on our Social Media pages or our website.
Can we bring our own photographer and can our Guests take photos during the event?
Yes you can! We suggest you either use our Professional Photographer or use yours. You do not want to mix them, as two complete strangers will be competing for same shots. “Which camera are we looking at?” – Everybody will be confused! In any case, if you decide not to go with our Photographer, we will remove this service from a basic ceremony package and provide a $200 discount with a minimum 60 days notice. If you Photographer will show up for a Ceremony without a notice, we do not guarantee best results of our assigner photographer. If you dismiss our photographer, we would like to get in touch with yours to coordinate date, time and location as well as timeline of the wedding.
We ask your guests to put all phones on silent mode, but we do permit them to take photos during the event. However we do not recommend them leaving their sets during the ceremony. It will interrupt your professional assigned photographer. You don’t want your friend’s head or a shoulder to be on your wedding photos as they are trying to take a photo with their camera. Let’s work together to provide your photographer with a comfortable environment without destructions, delays and interference! You will have plenty of time in your wedding dress to enjoy your guests company after the photographer leaves. Trust us!
Do you provide a videographer?
Videographers are not included in any of our packages, but you can request one with a minimum of 90 day notice. Call us for availability and pricing. Most popular video option is a highlight reel, prices starting at $450. You can hire your own videographer, but please let us know in advance for better on-day coordination.
Back-up Plan
How much trouble will I be in if I am late to my own wedding?
We are sure you would not do it on purpose. We will wait for up to 30 min with no consequences for you or your guests to arrive. Our team members realize how much stress you will be in and would not take this time away from the actual ceremony as many other companies will do. However, delayed start may result on an extra photographer’s/officiant fee (or any additional contractors for example live musicians). And keep in mind: the evening lighting may impact quality of photos. You may upgrade your package and pick additional services from our A La Carte Menu to insure smooth day (including transportation, makeup/hair, hotel booking). Consider having additional entertainment for your guests in case of the delay (hydration station/champagne bar, beach games for kids and more)
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
We do Beach Weddings and unfortunately we don’t own venues, which means we don’t have indoor space for you to use as a back-up plan. We can move the set up to the nearest park with a covered patio if available. If you feel it might rain, we suggest you to consider adding a tent to your package (big enough to cover ceremony area and all your guests, Plus hydration station/champagne bar and/or sweet bar). If none of those options are available the couple it responsible to have a backup location (hotel/condo etc)
Most of times it does not rain long enough, so don’t panic. If we or you are concerned, let’s coordinate the a few days before and day of your wedding so we can come up with a plan. Maybe rent a nearby villa/house for a stand by plan. We might reschedule for a few days if everyone’s schedules allow us to do so. Remember, our priority is to marry you, with less stress and best memories!
Can we change our location ?
Most Likely! The more notice we have, the better chance we can accommodate you. Even if we have other event we are working on around the other locations or the venues are taken, we will try to do everything possible to better serve your needs. However change of Location may result in additional Permit Fees, which the couple will be responsible for and $100 agency fee, payable immediately.
Can we change our package, add/remove services after initial reservation?
You may request changes to you booked package, it must be provided in writing at least 60 days prior to your Wedding date. We will then consider your request based on ability to accommodate. You may, however, add any services from our A LA Carte Menu within to 30 days before your event, via a email submission. Full price will be charges upon agreement. We will be happy to upgrade your Beach Ceremony with Hydration/Champagne Station or a cake mini reception or live music if not already included in you package. We can not downgrade the reserved package.
What if we have to cancel?
We have faith in you, and hope stress of planning a wedding/honeymoon won’t break real love. We will be very sad to let you go. With that being said all deposits and permit fees are non-refundable, if the event is cancelled.
Balance payments will be considered for refund if written cancellation notice is provided and confirmed within 45 days prior to scheduled event.
