Cancellations/Rescheduling: We aim to be very flexible rescheduling due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances. There is a $200 cancellation fee for appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice. No-show appointments are also subject to a $200 cancellation fee. “No-show” is considered 30 minutes after the scheduled booking time.
Scheduling: Appointment scheduling can be made via online submission. We will do our best to determine the best time of day in regards to weather however ensuring favorable conditions at the scheduled time is ultimately the responsibility of the Client. StoneBridge Real Estate Photography reserves the right to change, modify, or move your appointment based on logistics in order to best serve our large network of clients. We will give you proper notice in the form of a phone call, text, and email to reach out to you in the instance this does happen.
Travel and Parking Charges: Our intentions are to not have to charge for mileage as we do not believe in nickel and diming our clients, though once an appointment reaches 30 miles of round trip travel, we will start to charge at a rate of $35 per hour in addition to the appointment total. Travel is calculated from where our photographers are coming from. We do our best to schedule our photographers in the most efficient manner so that they are driving as little as possible so you avoid incurring unnecessary travel fees. If we must pay for parking, our employees will always seek out the most inexpensive option. We will bill clients directly for any parking charges that are associated with the project.
Payments: All payments must be made in full before delivery of marketing assets. The 24 hour turnaround time starts when the invoice has been paid in full. Only you can delay the process of receiving your files.
Filming/Photography: StoneBridge Real Estate Photography has full creative liberty of choosing the best compositions, which rooms, and how many photos each room should get unless otherwise requested in advance. If you need additional photos including an angle change, we will bill accordingly for a second visit to the property.

We reserve the right to refuse video/photo service for any reason.
Property Readiness: Please ensure the property is ‘shoot-ready’ upon the arrival of our photographers. You will have received the “pre-shoot checklist” with a confirmation of your appointment. This means you communicate with your property owners and arrive 20-30 minutes before your scheduled appointment to turn on lights, declutter, remove cars from the driveway, etc. For a busy real estate production crew, there is nothing worse than trying to film/photograph a property that is not ready. StoneBridge Real Estate Photography is not responsible for moving, changing, or altering objects. Our creative specialists will make minor adjustments based on their discretion however, we are not furniture movers, home stagers, house cleaners, and homes are expected to be shoot ready upon our arrival. StoneBridge Real Estate Photography employees are not responsible for cleaning and the property will be shot “AS-IS”. StoneBridge Real Estate Photography is not responsible for locking doors, windows, or other access points, turning off lights, or fireplaces prior to our departure and liability.
Return Charges: Should a reshoot be required due to, but not limited to, the property not being ready, weather not being how you’d like it, changes to the decor, or additional photos/videos beyond the scope of the original work, a fee of $150 will be applied. StoneBridge Real Estate Photography reserves the right to charge this fee at its discretion.
