Photo Adventure fees only cover specifically listed inclusions such as guiding and instruction services, on location transportation. If the item is not listed, participants can assume it is NOT included in the Adventure price. Please inquire if you have any questions or need clarification for a specific Adventure.
Participants understand that these photo adventures are based around natural elements that Photography Workshops of Utah has no control over. Best efforts will be made to ensure fulfillment of outlined photographic subjects for each photo adventure but weather conditions, wildlife sightings, wildflower blooms, and fall colors cannot be guaranteed.
In the event of extraordinary events, governmental instability, extreme weather, pandemics, or other conditions, Photography Workshops of Utah reserves the right to cancel the Photo Adventure and shall return all adventure fees to participants in these cases.
Release of Liability: Upon the arrival meet-up, hard copy liability release forms will be signed. However, by purchasing a Photo Adventure you agree to hold Photography Workshops of Utah and any heirs, relatives, business associates and others harmless from any liability for any personal injury, death, loss of valuables and safety risks, or any other malady that may strike due to your involvement in this Adventure. You agree that you are aware of the risks international or domestic travel presents and you are taking these risks upon yourself. You agree to be fully financially independent should disaster strike.
Although most of the Photo Adventures are designed for people of average fitness, be aware that all the Photo Adventures will be taking place outdoors and will require a certain amount of walking over some degree of uneven ground. Please make sure that you are up to the level of activity for the Photo Adventure that you plan to attend. If you have any questions about the activity level of a certain Photo Adventure, please inquire prior to signing up for the event.
Attendees are not vetted before the journey. You understand the risks involved and while Photography Workshops of Utah will do all he can to aid and assist with issues that may arise, you agree to hold Photography Workshops of Utah and any associates harmless due to any interpersonal interactions with fellow attendees and/or anyone we encounter along the way. If you are unwilling to agree to any of these terms listed here please don’t sign up for the Photo Adventure.
Please be aware that it is the participants’ responsibility to meet at our predetermined location by a specific time for the start of our Photo Adventure. If for any reason you are delayed, you will be responsible to catch up with the group. It is unfair to delay the entire group. We do suggest arriving in the area of our Photo Adventure locations the day before our start date. A detailed data sheet will be available for each Photo Adventure that will include time and location information.
Photography Workshops of Utah reserves the right to modify, add and/or subtract anything from the itinerary as necessary and without warning.
For photographers who are traveling for workshops, I strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance to cover your costs in case of cancellation or withdrawal.
Single day Workshops Booking, Payment, and Deposit
I require full payment for 1-day workshops at the time of booking. If you cancel at any time, the deposit amount is non-refundable unless I am able to fill your spot before the workshop starts. Please note, refunds are subject to a 5% processing fee as credit card processors are no longer refunding their fees to me. Your entire registration fee is due and becomes non-refundable, we will move you to a future date for your single day workshop.
Rainy Day Policy
If it’s stormy or rainy, 9 times out of 10 we will still conduct the workshop. This is due to a number of reasons including the unpredictability of the weather, and the difficulties of rescheduling a large number of individuals. In addition many dramatic landscape and seascape images are captured during stormy weather due to the extra drama. I will never cancel a workshop based on the forecast unless the forecast calls for severe weather making the workshop unsafe. If the weather is deemed unsafe, I will strive to give as much lead time as possible before the workshop. I cannot offer refunds for a weather related cancelation, but I will offer credit towards a future workshop.
Under-Subscription
My workshops require a minimum of three participants. In the case of under-subscription I reserve the right to cancel the workshop, in which case your registration will be transferred to another workshop of your choosing.
