Registration for Workshops

Clients need to register in advance for a workshop due to limited participant space. To register for an open workshop, submit the contact/interest form and/or email Her Lens Jenny Wiley. Open workshops will be offered on the website of Her Lens Jenny Wiley and rotate throughout the year. Workshops begin at the indicated workshop start date/time/meeting location and end at the indicated workshop date/time/meeting location. Registrants must be at least 18 years old. Registrants under 18 must also have a registered parent or legal guardian present.

​

Exception for a registered parent/guardian if under 18 is for the Designer Wings - Private Gardens Workshop in Smithfield, North Carolina. The parent/guardian would not have to register for this particular workshop, but must be present with their minor. 

 

Payment for Workshop Registration

Upon registering for a workshop, the participant will receive an invoice that must be paid by the indicated due date. The reason for the due date  is because Her Lens Jenny Wiley must turn and confirm additional support bookings on the ground (examples include, but not limited to entry tickets, operational space, etc.). Payment for photography tour workshops in Mexico, Greece, and Kenya are accepted in the form of US bank check to Her Lens Jenny Wiley (to avoid high processing fees by credit card companies for the participant). Registration for all other workshops may be done via US Bank Check, cash, or via payment link on the website of Her Lens Jenny Wiley.

 

Participants must contact Her Lens Jenny Wiley to register for photography tour workshops and will then be sent the photography tour workshop invoice. Participants are not confirmed until registration is paid and processed.

 

(Please wait to make additional travel arrangements, such as flights, until you receive a confirmation from Her Lens Jenny Wiley). 

 

Workshop Cancellations & Refunds 

Unfortunately, refunds are not possible for Photography Tour Workshop Registration for the following Photography Tour Workshops once the invoice is paid. No refunds for:

​

• Designer Wings National Butterfly Center in Mission Texas

• Designer Wings Monarch Sanctuaries and Forests in Michoacan, Mexico

• Dalmatian Pelicans at Lake Kerkini, Greece

• Any of the Photography Workshop Tours in Kenya, Africa

 

Please understand that it is not because Her Lens Jenny Wiley does not wish to support your changing plans. Once the client submits the payment for the registration, the payment removes a space available from others booking and Her Lens Jenny Wiley turns and immediately books the ground support, forwarding payment to the ground vendors that power the Workshop (examples include, but not limited to park entry tickets, safari accommodations, operational space, arrival and departure hotels, transports, etc.). The ground vendors do not allow refunds to Her Lens Jenny Wiley, therefore Her Lens Jenny Wiley is not able to provide a refund to Photography Tour Workshop registrants with Her Lens Jenny Wiley.  Registrants are required to obtain their own travel insurance and must carefully consider their coverage. 

​

Butterfly and Hummingbird Designer Wings Photography Workshops taking place in the Private Gardens in Smithfield, North Carolina will be refunded if cancelled by Her Lens Jenny Wiley at any point or if the participant cancels their registration no later than 24 hours of the event. To cancel registration for the Designer Wings Workshop in the Private Gardens in North Carolina, participants must email Her Lens Jenny Wiley from the email used to register no more than 24 hours before the event to indicate their cancellation. Upon processing the cancellation for the Designer Wings Private Gardens in Smithfield, North Carolina, Her Lens Jenny Wiley will refund the participants registration fee in the form of bank check from the business account of Her Lens Jenny Wiley (issued by the business bank) to the registered participants name and to the address of record from the registration. Please allow 30 days for this processing.
