All photos taken by Shine Photo are the property of Shine Photo and as such may be used in our web galleries or for advertising purposes.

Shine Photo reserves all rights for photo display.
Session fees:
All Inspired Wedding fees must be paid a minimum of 7 days in advance of the wedding. A non-refundable 50% deposit is due at the time of booking. Elopement Package fees are due in full at the time of booking and are non-refundable.
HST is not included in the listed prices.
Cancellations:
Your wedding ceremony deposit is non-refundable. Fees are due in full 7 days prior to the wedding. After this time, all fees are non-refundable. Failure to cancel your session in advance of the 7 day cut off will result in any remaining balance becoming due in full. Unpaid sessions my be cancelled by Shine Photo /Inspired Weddings without further notice. We reserve the right to refuse service to clients who repeatedly reserve, but fail to pay their reservation deposit. Please make every effort to be on time for your wedding. Late arrival means the wedding ceremony will be cut short as your timing affects the timing of other couples as well. We deem a wedding to be a ‘no show cancellation’ if a bride or groom are more than 30 minutes late.
Rescheduling: At Inspired Weddings we offer unlimited rescheduling for COVID restriction reasons. It’s hassel free and stress free.
Rescheduling policy for all other reasons:
- 1 complimentary reschedule is included with your ceremony purchase.
- An administrative fee of $100.00 is charged for each additional reschedule.
All couples will be required to review and sign a contract for service at the pre-wedding consultation. The contract outlines our policies, your commitment to the wedding date and our obligations to you in delivering the services of the package and the photography images.
Because of the nature of pop-up weddings, it it imperitive that the day runs on schedule.
Being late to your own wedding also affects the timing of all other weddings that follow yours. As such, arriving late will cut short the amount of time allotted for your wedding.
We deem a wedding to be cancelled if either the bride or groom arrives more than 30 minutes late.
