Booking My Services for your photography

Wedding Bookings

Making sure that the key participants and the facilities you have selected are all available and booked for the chosen day can be a complex task for the engaged couple. This can be further complicated when one of the services you select is booked by another party, while you are still reviewing options.

To help couples planning to use my services I have established the approach to booking as noted on the next page, in reflection of your needs from the initial enquiry through to firm orders.

Wedding, Portrait PR and Event Bookings - Process

Availability and Pre Booking Meetings

Following an initial conversation when the broad requirements are discussed, I will be able to confirm my general availability for the date and time you are considering. Once you are clear that my service matches what you are looking for I can also indicate whether there is pressure on the date and a need for an early confirmation.

While most clients visit me at my base, we also use our web site and email as well as telephone and post to facilitate bookings for those unable to visit, particular those living outside the UK .

Provisional Booking

These are not usually offered but where accepted, a firm verbal/emailed booking will hold the required date and time for 1-2 days while a firm order and related payment is in the post.

Firm Order

When the requirements are established, terms presented and the decision is made, my attendance at your wedding, portrait session or event is booked by delivering to me a completed agreement form with the initial fee. I firmly assign my time to your wedding on receipt and acceptance of the completed agreement set.

Advance Attendance Reservation

On occasions the bridal couple will have set the date and selected me as their photographer, before setting the details needed for the complete booking. At this stage my attendance for the date and time can be reserved, while details are finalised, by delivering a completed order and initial fee. This (interim) booking defines the date and location and a specified minimum level of fees. The final order details and full fees are agreed within a specified interval.

Prices and Quotations

Prices quoted are subject to confirmation at time of order and subject to change prior to an accepted order. Albums, extra photographs etc. ordered with the original booking may be offered at a discount to those ordered later.

Photographs and albums for family and friends or extra photographs for the couple can be ordered both before and after the event. Some of my customers come back with supplementary orders months or years after the wedding. Photograph prices as set out in the order form are held for a time after the event as noted, thereafter these items are priced as at the time of their order.
