LIMIT OF LIABILITY: Victoria Rose Photography will make every reasonable effort to provide the client’s full desired shot list, but there are no guaranteed number of images. The photographer is not responsible for compromised coverage due to causes beyond her control such as inclement weather, schedule complications, light restrictions, or lateness of the wedding party or family. In the unlikely event that the photographer is unable to perform to the guidelines of this contract due to an injury, illness, act of God, act of terrorism, global pandemic or other cause beyond her control, the photographer will make every effort to secure a skilled replacement photographer. If the situation should occur and a suitable replacement is not found, responsibility and liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the event, excluding the retainer deposit or incurred expenses.

The final post production and editing styles, effects, and overall look of the images are left to the discretion of the photographer. The photographer strives to maintain consistency in image quality and post-processing and will provide images of the highest possible quality and style. The photographer does not guarantee a minimum number of images that will be received by the client, but every effort will be made to provide images representing full coverage of the event and the persons involved therein. The photographer does NOT release any unedited or RAW images.
