1. Artwork Ownership

When a client books Maui Wedding Art, the client is purchasing the original physical artwork or live art service described in the proposal, invoice, or agreement.

After full payment, the client receives ownership of the original physical artwork included in the booking. This may include a live wedding painting, guest portraits, caricatures, or commissioned artwork, depending on the service reserved.

Ownership of the physical artwork does not include transfer of copyright, reproduction rights, commercial use rights, or media rights unless agreed to separately in writing.

2. Copyright and Intellectual Property

All artwork created by Ariel Quiroz / Maui Wedding Art remains the intellectual property of the artist unless otherwise agreed in writing.

This includes:

• Live wedding paintings

• Guest portraits

• Caricatures

• Commissioned portraits

• Sketches and studies

• Artwork details

• Time-lapse recordings

• Process videos

• Behind-the-scenes media

• Photographs or videos created by Ariel or his team

• Promotional media created from the live art experience

The client receives the original physical artwork, but copyright and reproduction rights remain with Ariel Quiroz / Maui Wedding Art.

3. Personal Use by Clients and Guests

Clients and guests may enjoy the original artwork for personal use.

This includes:

• Displaying the artwork at home

• Framing the artwork

• Gifting the original physical artwork

• Keeping guest portraits as personal keepsakes

• Sharing personal photos of the artwork in a non-commercial way

Reproduction, commercial use, merchandise use, advertising use, resale of reproductions, or altered commercial use of the artwork requires written permission from Ariel Quiroz / Maui Wedding Art.

4. Live Painting Media, Timelapses, and Behind-the-Scenes Content

Live art is part of the experience. During weddings and events, Ariel Quiroz / Maui Wedding Art may photograph, film, or document the artwork and the live painting process.

This may include:

• The painting in progress

• The finished artwork

• The easel setup

• Timelapse videos

• Behind-the-scenes footage

• Short-form social media videos

• Guest portrait setup and process

• Caricature or portrait examples

• Event atmosphere connected to the artwork

These images and videos may be used for portfolio, website, social media, publication, educational, editorial, advertising, and promotional purposes.

5. Portfolio and Promotional Use

Ariel Quiroz / Maui Wedding Art may use images or videos of the artwork, live art process, timelapses, and finished pieces to share examples of the work with future clients.

This helps couples, planners, venues, and guests understand the quality, style, and experience of live wedding painting, guest portraits, and event artwork.

Examples of promotional use may include:

• Website galleries

• Blog posts

• Social media posts

• Reels or short videos

• Printed marketing materials

• Educational content

• Vendor or venue portfolio features

• Advertising or promotional campaigns

Client names, guest names, and identifying personal details do not need to be shared for the artwork or process to be shown.

6. Simple Privacy Requests

Client privacy is respected.

Simple privacy requests are usually included at no additional cost. These may include:

• No client names

• No guest names

• No tags

• No exact event address

• No sensitive family details

• No posting before the couple shares publicly

• Cropped images that focus mostly on the artwork

These requests should be shared in writing before the event so they can be honored clearly and thoughtfully.

7. Full Privacy, NDA, or Non-Usage Requests

If a client requests that Maui Wedding Art not share any artwork, guest portraits, event footage, timelapses, behind-the-scenes media, live painting process content, or finished artwork for portfolio or promotional use, a Privacy and Non-Usage Fee of 20% of the total service fee will apply.

This applies to requests such as:

• Full event privacy

• No portfolio use

• No website use

• No social media use

• No timelapse sharing

• No behind-the-scenes sharing

• No guest portrait sharing

• No finished artwork sharing

• Signed NDA or non-disclosure agreement

• No mention of the event, couple, planner, venue, guests, or artwork

The 20% Privacy and Non-Usage Fee compensates for the loss of portfolio, marketing, editorial, vendor, educational, and future promotional value connected to the artwork and live art experience.

Privacy restrictions must be requested and agreed to in writing before the event.

A privacy agreement, NDA, or non-usage request does not transfer copyright ownership. Copyright transfer requires a separate written agreement signed by Ariel Quiroz.

8. Guest Portrait Privacy

For live guest portraits, privacy requests may affect how the guest portrait station is photographed, filmed, or shared.

If full privacy is requested, Maui Wedding Art will not publicly share guest portraits, guest likenesses, guest interaction footage, timelapses, process videos, or event setup images connected to the service.

Because guest portrait examples are valuable for showing future clients how the experience works, full non-usage of guest portrait media is included under the 20% Privacy and Non-Usage Fee.

9. Client-Provided Media and Third-Party Vendors

If a wedding photographer, videographer, planner, venue, or guest captures Ariel painting or the artwork in progress, that media may be owned by the person or company who created it.

Maui Wedding Art does not automatically own third-party photo or video files unless permission is granted by the creator or client.

Likewise, clients and vendors may not use Ariel’s artwork, timelapse footage, or process media for commercial promotion, advertising, merchandise, or business marketing without written permission.

10. Summary

The simple version:

Clients receive the original physical artwork. Ariel Quiroz / Maui Wedding Art retains copyright, reproduction rights, and media rights unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Ariel may photograph, film, and share artwork, timelapses, behind-the-scenes moments, and the live painting process for portfolio and promotional use.

Simple privacy requests are usually included. Full privacy, NDA, or complete non-usage requests require a 20% Privacy and Non-Usage Fee based on the total service fee.

Questions About Privacy or Usage

If privacy is important for your wedding or event, please share those preferences early in the planning process.

I am happy to keep the approach respectful, clear, and aligned with your comfort level while also protecting the creative rights and long-term portfolio value of the artwork.
