Can I see the photographer's portfolio before I book?+
Of course! You can view each photographer's portfolio from their city page! Select your destination
here. When you have chosen your favourite photographer check their availability with our concierge team by submitting an inquiry.
Can I connect with the photographers?+
Yes! Once you have submitted your inquiry and confirmed your booking, you will be able to connect directly through our chat with your photographer. You can get to know one another, finalize the details for your photoshoot and have any questions answered. If you need any support after inquiring and before confirming your booking, our wonderful Concierge Team is here to help.
Packages+
How many people can book a shoot together?+
Getting great photos with a group means having ample time on your shoot to do so. In order to do that, we have required package lengths based on number of participants. Our group maximums are as follows:
- 30 mins: max 6
- 60 mins: max 10
- 90 mins: max 15
*If more people show up to your shoot than you originally indicated on your booking form and the total number of people then exceeds the package requirement, extra people above the limit will be charged at $75 per person. The package length and photo quantities will remain as originally booked.
Can I book Flytographer for a commercial project or an event?+
Yes, we are able to shoot commercial projects and events. Note that we do not provide any special lighting, props, or styling; all extra equipment and peripherals will be the customer's responsibility. For questions about commercial shoots, please contact us
here with the details of your project. We will then send you more information about commercial pricing & licensing options.
Photos+
When will I see the photos?+
We will send you an email with link to
your online gallery within five business days. There will also be a link in that email to leave feedback and tell about your experience, so please be sure to let us know!
Can I choose which photos I receive in my gallery?+
The Flytographer packages include only the 'best of the best' from your shoot – as industry practice, your photographer removes any photos with funny faces, closed eyes, and improper lighting. Due to the nature of candid photography, not all shots that are taken will turn out as planned, but if you have any 'must have' shots, we would be more than happy to prioritize those shots so that they end up in your final gallery.
Cancellation & Late Policy+
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?+
If you need to cancel for any reason, please email or call us and we will refund 90% of your booking fee as long as you provide us
no less than 15 days' notice prior to your scheduled shoot date.
Within 15 days, once the shoot date and time are confirmed (ie. the “Shoot Scoop” is delivered), you may cancel up to seven (7) days in advance of the date and time of the reservation for a 50% refund; we will retain the 50% balance for processing and handling fees. If the Shoot Scoop has NOT been confirmed within this time frame, you may cancel for a 90% refund.
Within seven (7) days of the shoot date and time, all sales are final and there is no refund for cancelled shoots. Please visit our
Terms of Service for complete details regarding our cancellation policy.
What if I am running late?+
Please text or email your photographer if you are delayed. If you arrive late, keep in mind your photographer may have another shoot booked right after, and it's unlikely your shoot can be extended (although it's always possible, so please ask!). We suggest arriving early and even having a drink nearby so you don't begin your experience in a 'rushed' state of mind. Remember: traffic in big cities can be unpredictable.
Should you wish to extend beyond the time of your scheduled session and the photographer is available, add-on time is charged at a rate of $165 USD per 30 mins.
If you arrive late for your session, any time that has passed from your original start time will be forfeited, and you may shoot for the remainder of the time you have booked. The number of photos delivered may be adjusted to reflect the actual time spent together. You may add additional time if the photographer is free; add-on time is charged at a rate of $165 USD per 30 mins.
Should you wish your photographer to wait for you to arrive beyond the time your session was set to end, the extra waiting time will be charged at a rate of $50 USD per 15 minutes, on top of any fee for an extension of the shoot (add-on shoot time is charged at $165 USD per 30 minutes).
Routes & Travel Fees+
Can I change the route once I've booked?+
Usually, yes, but sometimes photographers have booked the rest of their day around the location you've already chosen so it may not be possible. This is especially true for last-minute changes. We will always try our best to accommodate you, but please note that due to other circumstances, once a route is chosen, we may not be able to change it.
What is a travel fee? Why do photographers charge this?+
A travel fee is an additional charge that photographers may apply to cover expenses associated with traveling to or shooting at your chosen location. This fee varies based on factors such as distance, travel time, special permits, ticket prices, and tolls.
Since our photographers are located in different areas and travel distances can vary, each photographer sets their own travel fee. Not all photographers charge travel fees, and the amounts can differ depending on their location.
If a photographer charges a travel fee, you'll see this information on their profile page and again when they respond to your booking request. When you pay for your booking, the travel fee will be listed separately from your shoot package price so you can see exactly what you're paying for each. All travel fees are charged in USD, just like our shoot packages.
If you have any questions about travel fees, message us in your
Concierge Inbox or email us at
concierge@flytographer.com.

How long in advance should I book my shoot?+
We suggest you book at least a week in advance, although we will attempt to accommodate last minute requests (but no promises). The ideal time frame to ensure you get YOUR preferred time/date is at least 4 weeks in advance.
Can I book a Flytographer photographer for my wedding? I only want photos of the ceremony in that great Flytographer style!+
Flytographer is not set up to service weddings, unfortunately. We will make referrals to photographers on
special request! We do have the option of a portrait session before or after your ceremony, to capture your newlywed memories (this applies for destination shoots only).
