Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of ataviaweddings.com and the photography and videography services provided by Atavia Weddings LLC ("Atavia Weddings," "we," "us," or "our"). By using this website or booking our services, you agree to these Terms. Specific projects are also governed by the written service agreement you sign at the time of booking; where that agreement and these Terms differ, the signed agreement controls.
Our Services
We provide wedding and engagement photography and videography as described in the package you select. The specific coverage hours, deliverables, and team assigned to your event are set out in your booking agreement. Creative and technical decisions — including composition, editing style, color, and final selection of images and footage — rest with Atavia Weddings, made in keeping with the aesthetic represented on this site.
Booking & Deposit
A $500 deposit is required to reserve your date. Dates are held on a first-come, first-served basis and are not confirmed until the deposit and a signed agreement are received. The deposit is applied toward your total balance and is non-refundable, as it reserves your date and causes us to turn away other inquiries for that day.
Payment
The remaining balance is due on or before your event date unless a written payment schedule states otherwise. If a wedding is booked fewer than 45 days before the event date, an accommodation fee may apply, as disclosed at the time of booking. Services may be paused or withheld if payment is past due.
Rescheduling & Cancellation
If you need to reschedule, we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your new date subject to availability; your deposit may be transferred to the new date one time. If you cancel, the deposit is forfeited and any additional payments are handled according to your signed agreement. If we are unable to perform due to circumstances within our control, our liability is limited as described below.
Delivery & Turnaround
Standard editing and delivery run 30–90 days after your event, with most galleries and films completed within 30–60 days. Peak season may extend this window. A rush option may be available for an additional fee. Final files are delivered digitally through a private online gallery or download link.
Ownership & Usage Rights
Upon final payment, you receive the personal usage rights described in your package, including the right to print and share your images and films for personal, non-commercial use. Unless your package states otherwise, Atavia Weddings retains the underlying copyright in all work we create. Commercial use, resale, or entry of the work into contests by any party other than Atavia Weddings requires our written permission.
Promotional Use
Unless you request otherwise in writing, you grant Atavia Weddings the right to use images and footage from your event in our portfolio, website, social media, and marketing. If you prefer that your photographs not be used publicly, let us know in writing and we will honor that request.
Your Cooperation
Beautiful coverage depends on a workable timeline, reasonable access to your venue and lighting, and the cooperation of your guests and other vendors. You agree to provide a point of contact on the day and to communicate any restrictions imposed by your venue in advance. We are not responsible for moments missed due to circumstances outside our control, such as officiant or venue restrictions, weather, or guests obstructing our view.
Equipment & Backups
We carry professional backup cameras, lenses, lighting, and storage to every event, and we back up your files after the day. In the unlikely event of equipment failure, data loss, or another circumstance that prevents full delivery, our liability is limited as set out below.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of Atavia Weddings for any claim arising from our services is limited to the amount you paid for those services. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. This does not limit any rights you may have that cannot be waived under applicable law.
Force Majeure
Neither party is responsible for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including illness, injury, extreme weather, natural disaster, acts of government, or venue closure. In such cases we will work in good faith to reschedule or to provide a substitute team of comparable skill where possible.
Third-Party Vendors & Links
Our website may reference or link to third-party services (such as YouTube, Instagram, or our booking-form provider). We are not responsible for the content or practices of those services, which are governed by their own terms and policies.
Website Content
All text, images, films, and design on this website are the property of Atavia Weddings LLC or used with permission, and may not be copied, reproduced, or redistributed without our written consent.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which Atavia Weddings LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts located in that jurisdiction.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
