Please check the availability of dates before booking a session. If the client wishes to cancel a photo shoot reservation please refer to our cancellation policy.

VPT may change or discontinue the availability of the services at any time at its sole discretion. VPT reserves the right to cancel services at any time during the session and to leave the session location if the photographer representing VPT is the victim of inappropriate, threatening, hostile or offensive behavior by any person attending the event or session location. In cases where the shoot must be terminated and the VPT photographer must leave the shoot location, the retainer fee and any deposit paid will be non-refundable.

VPT reserves the right to use the client's photos on the website. If the client wishes VPT not to use the client's photos on their website, the client may pay an additional fee. The fee may be agreed and included in the final price at the time of drawing up and signing the corresponding contract.

VPT does not guarantee the durability of the photos in our storage systems, nor in the client's storage systems. VPT does not guarantee the quality of the digital media or files shipping to the customer. The customer is solely responsible for backing up, archiving and maintaining the integrity of the files. VPT will store the digital photo files for 69 days after the photos have been sent, but will not be responsible for the storage of these files.

The price of the services will be determined based on several factors such as the number of hours of the session, the number of photographs, the location of the session, etc. The price will be established in the corresponding service contract.

At the moment of contracting our services and before starting the work, the client must make a deposit in order to book the photographer to perform the services specified in the corresponding contract.
