​Proofs/ Images: No set minimum number of proofs will be guaranteed from any shoot. Proofs provided in the online proofing gallery are the final images. Images that do not meet the standards of Natasha McMenamin Photography are deleted in the first part of the editing process and are non-recoverable. Whilst every effort is made to ensure images presented are edited to the highest standards, Natasha McMenamin Photography makes no commitment to the extent by which images will be 'fixed'. For the avoidance of doubt you can be assured that the photographer will endeavour to correct any non-permanent blemishes and make changes to the image that improve the finished result. On viewing your images, the Client is responsible for pointing out any additional editing that you may feel is necessary before placing your order. As photographic prints are bespoke products, we are unable to accept responsibility for issues with images that are noticed after the products have been ordered, unless it can be proven that they were not visible at the time of ordering.
​Receipt of Pictures: The pictures are presumed to have been received in good condition unless the Client notifies Natasha McMenamin Photography in writing of any discrepancy or error within 14 days of receipt. Because the supply of the photographs have been made to the Client’s personal specification, the Client does not have the right to a cooling off period. By placing an order with Natasha McMenamin Photography you are committing to buy the ordered products.
​
Printing of Images: The photographer takes no responsibility for poor quality prints or other products, including poor colour, cropping, or any issues that alter the image quality due to using a third party printing lab against advice. To maintain the quality, it is advised that high street and supermarket labs are avoided.
​Completion Schedule: Due to the nature of our sessions, completion and product delivery time may vary depending on the time of year. Natasha McMenamin Photography aims to have all sessions edited within 3 weeks, and your online proofing gallery password will be emailed upon completion. Wall art products, albums and prints take 14-21 working Days for completion upon ordering. Payment must be in full before order is placed.
