RS Edits Photography Agreement
Version 1.0 · October 2026
This agreement is between RS Edits (Roger Sheak, East Hampton, Connecticut) and the client named in the booking. The package, event date, start time and location the client chooses when booking are part of this agreement. By checking the box and typing their name at booking, the client agrees to these terms.
1. Packages
| Package | Coverage | Edited photos | Price | Deposit |
|---|
| Small | Up to 4 hours | At least 150 | $500 | $50 |
|---|
| Large | Up to 8 hours | At least 300 | $1,000 | $100 |
|---|
Coverage starts at the agreed start time. Extra time on the day is only added if both sides agree, at a price agreed before the extra time starts.
2. Deposit and payment
- The deposit is paid online at booking and is not refundable. It counts toward the package price.
- Your date is reserved the moment the deposit is paid. No one else can book it.
- The remaining balance is due on or before the event date.
- The finished photos are delivered once the balance is paid in full.
3. What you get
- Edited, full-resolution photos in an online gallery you can download from.
- Photos are color-corrected and edited in the RS Edits style. Unedited and RAW files are not included.
Gallery access. The gallery stays live for 6 months after delivery. Download and back up your photos during that time; after 6 months RS Edits may take the gallery down.
Delivery. RS Edits will confirm the expected delivery date in writing after the event.
4. Revisions
RS Edits will make reasonable adjustments to delivered photos, such as cropping, brightness or a black-and-white version, when they are requested within 30 days of delivery. Revisions don't include heavy retouching, compositing, or photos of moments that weren't captured.
5. Creative style
Photography is an art. RS Edits chooses the framing, moments, editing and color within the package. You've seen the work before booking, and personal taste about those creative choices is not a reason to reject the photos, ask for a refund, or require a re-edit. This doesn't excuse RS Edits from delivering the coverage and photos listed above.
6. Ownership and use
- RS Edits owns the copyright in all photos.
- The client may use the delivered photos however they like, for any lawful purpose, with no time limit, including printing, posting, sharing and editing them.
- RS Edits may use any photos in its portfolio, website, social media, ads and any other promotional material, without further approval or payment.
- If a guest must not appear in RS Edits' promotional use, tell RS Edits before the event and it will make reasonable efforts to leave them out.
7. Cancelling and rescheduling
- Cancel 1 month or more before the event: you owe nothing beyond the deposit, which is not refunded.
- Cancel less than 1 month before the event: you owe half the package price. The deposit counts toward that amount.
- Cancellations must be sent in writing, by email or text.
- Rescheduling: one move to a new date is allowed if requested at least 1 month before the event and the new date is open. The deposit moves with you. Otherwise a move counts as a cancellation.
- If RS Edits can't make it because of illness or an emergency, it will offer a qualified replacement for your approval. If you don't approve one, or none is available, RS Edits refunds everything you've paid, including the deposit, and owes nothing further.
8. The day itself
- The client provides an accurate schedule, the location, and any permissions the venue requires.
- RS Edits follows venue rules. Lighting, weather, venue limits and guests in the way can affect what gets photographed. RS Edits will use reasonable care, but can't promise every moment, angle or person will be captured.
- For the Large package, the client provides a meal or a short meal break.
- RS Edits may pause or stop shooting if conditions become unsafe or if anyone harasses its crew. Time lost that way is not refunded.
9. Travel
Travel within 50 miles of East Hampton, CT is included. Farther out: +$100 for 51 to 100 miles, +$200 for 101 to 150 miles, then +$100 for every extra 50 miles. Travel fees are added to the balance.
10. Limits of liability
RS Edits keeps backup copies while editing. If photos are lost or damaged through RS Edits' fault, or RS Edits fails to perform, the most it owes is a refund of what the client has paid under this agreement.
11. The rest
This agreement, with the booking details, is the whole agreement. Any change must be in writing (email or text counts) and agreed by both sides. Connecticut law applies. If one part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
