Terms and Conditions
Agreement to Terms & Conditions
By proceeding with your photoshoot booking, you acknowledge and agree to abide by the following Terms and Conditions. These policies ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both parties. Please read through the entire document carefully. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out before confirming your booking.
Payment Terms
A 30% deposit is required to secure your booking for photography services. For bookings where 30% totals less than €50, a minimum deposit of €50 will be required.
For bookings that include additional services or involve third parties (such as boat tours or all-inclusive days), a 50% deposit will be required.
Payment options for the 50% deposit are available upon request.
Payment of the balance is due on or before the day of your session. You may pay in cash (Euro) on the day, or via Stripe or PayPal at your convenience.
For full details on deposit conditions and when they are refundable, please continue reading below.
Deposit & Refund Policy
A 30% deposit is required to secure your booking for photography services. This deposit is non-refundable once the photoshoot is confirmed, except in the cases outlined below.
For bookings that include additional services or involve third parties (such as boat tours or all-inclusive days), a 50% deposit is required to secure your booking. This deposit is non-refundable once the services are confirmed, except in the cases outlined below.
Cancellations made at least 10 days in advance will receive a full refund of the deposit. Cancellations made after this period will forfeit the deposit.
Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled time will be required to pay for the services in full.
Photoshoot Agreement and Contract
The photoshoot agreement and contract you received prior to your session must be completed and returned for your session to go ahead. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of your session, including scheduling, payment, and any additional services or requirements. It also helps me gather important information about your preferences so I can begin planning your session in detail.
The sooner you can return the completed agreement, the sooner I can start tailoring your experience to your vision.
Video Call Cancellation & Non-Refundable Fee
If a video call has already taken place and the booking is later canceled, €100 of the deposit will be retained to compensate for the time invested. The remaining amount will be refunded according to the cancellation policy.
In the event that the booking cannot go ahead due to weather conditions and a full refund would normally be issued, €100 will still be retained to cover the time spent on the video call.
If a video call is canceled by the client within 48 hours of the scheduled time, a fee of €100 will be charged to reschedule.
Photographer Cancellation Policy
In the unlikely event that I (the photographer) need to cancel your photoshoot, your deposit will be transferred to a new date, if a mutually agreeable time can be arranged. If no suitable date is available, the full deposit will be refunded.
Late Arrival & No-Show Policy
I will not wait more than 20 minutes past the scheduled start time if I have not received confirmed correspondence from you. If you arrive more than 20 minutes late without notifying me, your booking will be considered a No Show, and not only will the deposit be forfeited, but full payment will also be required.
If you arrive more than one-third of the way into your booking, the session will need to be rescheduled for another day, pending my availability, and will incur a €150 rescheduling fee. If you choose not to reschedule, the deposit will be forfeited.
If you arrive late but within the allowable time frame, the session will still end at the originally scheduled time, with the missed time deducted from your session duration. This ensures the integrity and quality of the experience and the final product I am providing.
Session Duration & Early Conclusion
The duration of your session is intended as a guide to help plan your day and the areas we will explore. While there is flexibility to linger or move through locations at a relaxed pace, the stated session length reflects the time allocated to capture the images included in your chosen package. This allows me to create a carefully curated gallery without compromising the relaxed and thoughtfully crafted session.
Session time begins from the agreed-upon photographer arrival time. For example, any early arrival to secure locations is included in this guide.
If, during the session, it becomes clear that all the moments you wish to capture have been achieved, the session may conclude early. The aim is always to capture your story fully while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable.
Additional time beyond the planned session is available upon request and will incur an extra fee, depending on availability. This ensures that all sessions remain focused, well-prepared, and respectful of scheduling.
Unforeseen Circumstances
Please note that photoshoots take place in public locations, and while every effort is made to plan the photoshoot carefully, the photographer cannot be held responsible for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise, such as location accessibility issues or unexpected events on the day. If, for any reason, a chosen location becomes unavailable or unsuitable, alternative arrangements will be made to ensure your photoshoot experience is still enjoyable.
