Events
Priced to your event, not to a package.
Showers, birthdays, corporate, celebrations, receptions. What it costs depends on the event and the hours you need — so tell us what you’re planning and we’ll quote it properly.
What you get
Someone who notices what you spent money on.
The florals, the tablescape, the cake, the room before anybody walks into it. Then the part you actually hired someone for — your people, enjoying the thing you built.
The room, first
Details and setup shot before guests arrive, while everything is still exactly how you planned it.
The people
Candids, groups, the host with everyone who came. Directed where it helps, invisible where it doesn’t.
The moments
Speeches, the cut, the reveal, the reaction. Whatever your event is built around, that’s what gets covered properly.
Delivered fast
Fully retouched gallery in 7 to 14 business days, with a preview sooner if you need something to post.

Terms of booking
Policies.
Everything you can expect, from the moment you book to the moment your gallery lands.
Booking & Retainers
- A non-refundable retainer of 30% of your package secures your booking, $100 minimum.
- Your date is locked once the retainer is received and the agreement is signed.
- Remaining balance is due on or before the day of your session.
- Card, Zelle, Apple Pay, or cash.
- Clients under 18 require a parent or guardian to sign.
Cancellation & Rescheduling
- Retainers are non-refundable.
- One reschedule is included when requested at least 48 hours ahead, subject to availability.
- Same-day cancellations and no-shows require a new retainer to rebook.
Weather
- Outdoor sessions may be rescheduled at no charge if conditions are unsafe or severe — decided no later than 3 hours before.
- Overcast skies are not grounds for rescheduling. Some of the best work happens in that light.
Arrival & Time
- Sessions begin and end at their scheduled times. Arriving late reduces your time; it does not extend the session.
- More than 20 minutes late may require rebooking with a new retainer.
- Additional time may be requested in advance or on the day.
What You Bring
- Arrive prepared and on time, with your outfits and any props.
- CW Photo Phactory is not responsible for location restrictions or conditions beyond its control.
Travel Fee
- Locations outside of Baltimore are subject to an additional travel fee.
- Quoted before your booking is confirmed — never added afterward.
Your Gallery
- Your unedited gallery arrives first. Flag your favorites within 7 days and those become your retouched images.
- If no selections are made, the photographer selects.
- Turnaround is listed on your package — 3 to 7 business days. Events, 7–14.
- Galleries stay live for 90 days.
What Retouching Includes
- Skin, color, tone, exposure, and standard cleanup on every retouched image.
- Body reshaping, adding or removing people, and composite work beyond your concept are add-ons.
- Additional retouched images available.
If Something Goes Wrong
- In the unlikely event of equipment failure, illness, or emergency, a reshoot is offered at the earliest date.
- Where a reshoot isn’t possible, liability is limited to the return of payments received.
- Specific shots cannot be guaranteed.
Copyright & Usage
- CW Photo Phactory retains copyright unless full rights are granted in writing.
- Clients receive personal-use rights — printing, sharing, posting.
- Retouched images may not be altered or filtered before sharing.
- Portfolio and marketing use unless privacy is requested in writing.
These terms are part of your booking agreement.
