PHOTOGRAPHY DETAILS, TERMS, CONDITIONS AND DISCLAIMERS:
Due to difficult outdoor lighting conditions sometimes encountered during weddings in Hawaii, complete satisfaction of outdoor photography cannot be guaranteed – nor will any refund be made. Photographic services promised/guaranteed are limited to the fulfillment of the agreed upon photo image/print commitment, (# of prints or images promised based on your specific wedding or photo package).Our refund liability: In the extremely rare event that there is a technical problem that results in no photographic images being taken or coming out to the satisfaction of the photographer, or, if there is an instance of where your photographer is not able to make it to the event, due to a severe traffic tie-up, disaster, sudden sickness, etc., our refund liability to you is limited. Under no circumstance, shall MMW be liable for more than the purchase price of the photographic service. In the case of Maui wedding photography services purchased as part of a Maui wedding package, our liability is limited to a maximum of $300.00.
Images or Prints: Due to the onset of digital photographic technology and in keeping with our exceptionally low pro-photography pricing in our Maui wedding packages, some of MMW’s lower-priced wedding packages do NOT include prints or albums. Please be careful in choosing your package, with this in mind. If your package promises a certain number of images – and does not mention prints – you do not receive prints. Be assured, however, that it costs less than 20¢ per print to have your photos printed at your local Wal-Mart or Costco stores.
Photographic style policy: MMW’s photographers employ the very popular “photojournalistic” style of capturing imagery, where a complete story gets told in the pictures, because you will receive excellent images/prints taken from the very beginning, throughout, even to the very end of the event, if time permits. Studio-type photography is available at extra cost.
Photo shoot length policy: The “Daisy” and “White Gazebo” package include ½ hour of photography time. All other MMW wedding packages include a 1-hour photo shoot at one location and include one photographer, only. Additional time or multi-camera shoots are available for $150 + tax, per ½ hour, per photographer and includes appx 40+ additional images/prints, per photographer, per ½ hour. Photo shoot may or may not include pre or post wedding pictures, depending on the time of day the wedding takes place, how much overtime photography time is purchased (or included in wedding packages) and whether people show up on time to the wedding. Weddings with 20+ guests in attendance may require additional photography time to adequately cover post-wedding festivities and group shots.
Over-time policy: Photo overtime is available for $150 per ½ hour + tax and includes appx 40+ additional images/prints and an additional location, in most cases. Any overtime verbally requested and authorized at the wedding or event by the bride, groom or their parents, will be charged to the credit card on file. So, please consider any overtime charges you may expect will be necessary, prior to your event.
Special shots requests: Please provide the photographer with a list of specific shots you desire captured, i.e. groupings, angles, etc., by emailing your requests to vincent@merrymauiweddings.com.
Event location policy: MMW’s photographer will recommend the most idyllic location(s) at your Maui wedding site for optimal photographic results. If your choice of location is less than idyllic, according to the photographer’s assessment, you may not be fully satisfied with the photographs. Late morning, mid-day and early afternoon photography is not recommended, as the lighting during these times is less than idyllic (extreme brightness/shadows and heat, resulting in sweating & eye squinting, not to mention overcrowded beaches).
Photo equipment policy: Event will be shot using a pro-digital SLR camera, unless a 35mm film SLR camera is specifically requested. The cameras are mounted with a top-of-the-line professional electronic flash. Unless you request b&w photos, they will all be shot in color. With each photo shoot, you may request up to 10 b&w images/prints at no additional charge. However, any individual image can be converted to b&w for a small additional charge, or all your images/photos can be b&w at no extra charge.
Photo optimization policy: Special lighting is available to achieve superior results at $200, plus tax, per shoot. Special effect post-wedding production (such as bouquet in color, all else in b&w) can be ordered at $100 + tax, per image. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: MMW’s professional photographic staff recommends the purchase of our in-house PhotoShop image enhancement & correction for all photo orders involving outdoor weddings. This process will correct, enhance and optimize the occasional images, which, otherwise, might not be perfect due to challenging lighting conditions. PhotoShop optimization is available at $150-$400 per photo order + tax.
Enlargements policy: With packages offering enlargements, customer is responsible to notify MMW by email which images to enlarge, within 30 days from ceremony date. If MMW does not get notified within 30 days, MMW’s photographer(s) reserve the right to choose their own favorite image(s) to enlarge.
Turn-over time policy: Photo packages, including enlargements, typically take 5-30 days to complete, but may, during extremely busy wedding periods, take up to 60 days to complete. If you are in a hurry to get your photo package, the processing time can be shortened to 72-96 hrs = $200 + tax or 97-120 hrs = $100 + tax. The completed, rushed photo package (minus enlargements or photo gallery) will be available for pick-up at our office in Kula. Photo rush with delivery to Kahului (a central Maui location) please add $50 + tax. Enlargements are not included in the rush option.
Picture choosing policy: MMW’s regular policy is that our professional photographers use their own discretion in deciding which images/prints are presented to you. This is true in all cases except with packages where only roll(s) of film are shot, then given to the customer at the end of the wedding. In every other case, you may elect to choose your own images/prints, if you prefer, at an additional charge of $100 + tax to cover the special in-office meeting required to do this. Please note - we do not usually recommend client’s choosing their own images/prints, because MMW already presents you with all the pictures worth presenting – and the number of images/prints that you will receive “most often” exceeds the number promised in your package by sometimes up to 50% or more. Our advice is that you receive all the images/prints we give you, then omit/delete any images/prints which do not appeal to you.
Website gallery policy: Galleries are comprised of our top favorite images from your wedding. They shall be completed within 8 weeks from your wedding date, in most cases, and sometimes in less than 2 weeks. You will be notified by email when the gallery is completed, and you will be emailed a special email designed to be forwarded to your friends and family, worldwide, with a link to your site, for their easy viewing pleasure. Web galleries are viewable for 3 months after they have been completed, after which they become deleted. You may extend your gallery for 9 additional months, or we can permanently upload the files onto the computer of your choice, for $75 + tax.
