1. RETAINER

• To secure your wedding date, a 25% non-refundable retainer is required. Your retainer ensures that Kailey Tucker Photography reserves your event date exclusively for you and does not accept other bookings that day.

• Because the date is held in good faith and time is blocked off in advance, the retainer is non-refundable under all circumstances, unless the photographer cancels or is unable to perform the services.
  Before submitting payment, clients are strongly advised to confirm their venue and timeline.

​

​

2. CANCELLATION & RESCHEDULING 

• If you need to reschedule your wedding after booking, a 25% rescheduling fee (based on your total package price) will be charged. This is due to the lost income from holding your original date and adjusting future bookings to accommodate the change.

​​

​​

3. BALANCE

• The remaining balance of your photography package is due no later than one week (7 Business Days) prior to event date. Payment plans are available upon request. Please ensure all details (venue, timing, etc.) are finalized before paying your deposit.

​

​

4. COPYRIGHT & USAGE

• Kailey Tucker Photography retains full copyright ownership of all images delivered under this contract.

• You are granted personal-use rights, including printing and sharing with family or friends. However:

• You may not sell, alter, or commercially use the images without written permission.

• If posting online (Instagram, Facebook, etc.), images must be shared as delivered. Credit to the photographer is preferred but not required.

• Clients are responsible for ensuring that friends and family do not crop, filter, or otherwise edit the images when posting online.

​

If changes or edits are desired by the client, please notify your photographer. This is to avoid any loss of quality to the product and to maintain the photographer’s intended style and representation of her work.

​

​

5. ARTISTIC RIGHTS

• You trust Kailey Tucker Photography to use creative judgment during shooting and editing.

• Final edits reflect the artist’s style and discretion. Minor retouching is included; extensive edits may incur a fee.

• All final images will be professionally edited in Kailey’s signature style. This includes color correction, exposure, and light retouching.

• Additional retouching (beyond the standard editing process)—such as slimming, head swaps, or removal of permanent features—can be requested at a rate of $10 per image.

​

​

6. IMAGE DELIVERY, STORAGE, & BACKUP

• Your online gallery will be delivered within 4–6 weeks of your wedding date.

• After receiving your images, clients are responsible for downloading and backing them up in at least three locations. Physical prints are highly encouraged for long-term safekeeping.

• While your photographer retains master backups for up to 6 months, there is no guaranteed retrieval of lost files after delivery.

​

7. LIABILITY

Interference

Kailey cannot be held responsible for missed moments due to interference from guests (e.g., blocking shots with phones, stepping into aisles, or ignoring photo direction).

​

Breaks

As per Tennessee labor law, the photographer is entitled to a 30-minute break every 6 hours and short restroom breaks as needed.

​

Weather

Photographers cannot shoot in weather conditions that risk damage to equipment. For outdoor events, please have an indoor or covered backup plan. Reduced coverage due to weather will not result in refunds.

​

Venue Restrictions

It is your responsibility to communicate any venue restrictions (no flash, limited access, etc.) to the photographer in advance. These limitations may impact the final result.

​

Damage to Equipment

If any guest or member of the wedding party damages the photographer’s equipment, the client(s) are responsible for covering repair or replacement costs within 7 days of the event.

​

DJ & Venue Lighting

Strong DJ lights (deep purples, greens) can distort skin tones and affect image quality. We recommend soft yellows, blush pinks, light blue/green tones instead.

If your venue dims the lights during key moments (first dance, toasts, etc.), please understand that image quality depends on the available light unless flash is permitted.

​

​

8. OVERTIME & ADDITIONAL SERVICES

• Additional hours may be available at $100/hr.

• All add-ons must be agreed upon in writing before or on the event day.

​

9. CANCELLATION BY PHOTOGRAPHER

If Kailey is unable to photograph your wedding due to illness, injury, or emergency, she will:

• Provide a qualified professional replacement, OR

• Offer a full refund of any amounts paid, including the retainer.

• ​

Kailey maintains a strong professional network and will make every effort to ensure seamless coverage.
