The fine print

You have booked a wedding or portrait session with us – thank you!

We appreciate you entrusting us to capture your one-of-a-kind moments, and will do our best to WOW you with the results.


Here are the nitty gritty details of working with the IMP ladies. Please, take a read!

 

Then, we won’t need to spend time talking about the Fine Print {aka a little bit boring, but still...important details} during your session, and we can just get down to the business of having fun :)

Editing

  • We edit all images, including light & color adjustments and cropping.
  • The images you see on our website & current social media represent what you will receive! Should you have special requests for editing they must be discussed prior to booking your event to ensure we are able to accommodate your requirements.
  • If you require corrections for tattoo removal, stretch marks, acne, etc. we charge $10/image.
  • We do not specialize in post-shoot corrections and prefer to get it right – Straight Out of the Camera :)

 

IMAGE FILES

  • You receive your high-resolution, non-watermarked digital images through a down-loadable on-line gallery.
  • There is a shopping cart attached to your gallery, so you can order your own prints, canvases and metal art.
  • Your gallery is password protected, and you can share the link with friends and family.
  • USBs {$25} or CDs {$10} are available with any booking.
  • RAW files are not available.
  • Copyright of all images remains with us. Edited images are yours to share, print and cherish.
  • Larger files available upon request.
  • We retain your files for a minimum of one year after the date of your event. If you are ordering an album you must order prior to that deadline to ensure we still have your files.

Portrait Sessions

  • Your session time begins based on your scheduled start time. We suggest you arrive at least five minutes early.
  • Please use this time to prepare for your session: Men’s phones & wallets out of pockets. Children fed, awake and in session outfits.
  • Our fee is $150/30 minutes for additional time. This increases your total images received.
  • Prices listed are for up to six people/session. Extra charges of $20/person will apply.
  • No deposit necessary, but payment is required prior to receiving your gallery link.
  • Full details provided on your personal confirmation email!

Weddings

  • To hold your date we require you to complete our wedding contract; and
  • Provide a $500 deposit upon booking.
  • Half your remaining investment is payable two weeks prior to your wedding.
  • Final payment is due within 3-4 weeks of your wedding, and prior to receiving your gallery links.
  • Minimum 4-hour booking for any summer Saturday (June 1-Sept 15).

 

OUR COMPLIMENTARY ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS

  • Details will be provided on your completed contract.
  • Take place in the Parksville/Nanoose area during our shoulder season.
  • Are held for us to get comfortable with each other, identify the best way to ‘shoot you’ and for the two of you to relax and indulge in some sweet romance.
  • In case you already have children, just a note: we LOVE kids, but this is an adults-only not family sesh ♥
  • Have no cash value and are not exchangeable for wedding time or product.
  • We {really + truly} want to spend this time with you before your celebration.

Social Media

  • Unless you indicate otherwise at your session or via email, we love to share some of your images! This may include Facebook, Instagram, our website or other media. You never know if one of your portraits will become one of our Award winners!
  • Sneak peeks are a fun way for you to see some of your photos sooner than waiting for your gallery link. We generally post within a week of your session. We do not notify you before posting, but if you would like to be notified; then please let us know during your session.
  • We don’t tag you on FB or IG without permission, but are always thrilled if you choose to!

Ordering Albums and Art

  • For items not on our shopping cart; you will receive an email detailing what we require from you to select your album or art images.
  • For album orders; we encourage you to indicate a few favorite images that you wish to have highlighted.
  • We are excited to design a beautiful keepsake from your day and will artistically create each page.
  • You will receive a proof of the entire book prior to us sending it to print.
  • There is no charge to make three changes {e.g. a photo substitution is considered one change}, if you require additional revisions it is $25/item.

 

ALMOST FINISHED; HERE ARE THE LAST ITEMS {WE PROMISE!}

  • Travel charges may apply to your session. Travel fees begin at $25 for outside of Nanoose/Parksville and range to $300 {for example, Tofino, Victoria, Port Hardy} depending on location. Always confirmed ahead of time.
  • We have a minimum three hour booking to: Tofino, Victoria, Port Hardy and surrounding areas, please ask us for details!
  • Accommodations required? Well, maybe! If our drive is further than two hours from Parksville (as in Tofino) you may need to provide us with a room for the night. It’s one room, for one night and we can chat about this during your booking process :)
  • Portrait sessions take 4-5 weeks for completion, and weddings 8-10 weeks. We do our best to shock {& awe} you with earlier results, but especially during the crazy summer season this is our anticipated timeline.
  • Rush fees apply for packages required sooner than our timeline, and we would need to know ahead of time whether we can accommodate that request for you :).
  • Shipping fees begin at $25 depending on your package.
  • All payment options are listed on your invoice. All packages subject to applicable taxes.

Awww...if you’ve made it this far...we sincerely thank you! We know this was a lot ;)

But now it’s all about the good times!

You in front of our cameras; we can’t wait to create some magic together ♥

xo, L&L
