COVID-19 SITUATION UPDATE
In light of the current situation, I thought I'd create a page to update all my potential couples with how I'm managing bookings during this uncertain time. I was planning my own wedding for June, and I've just been told we have to postpone until 2021, so I share your frustration during this wedding season apocalypse!
​
Rescheduling
If you have to rearrange your wedding date due to Covid-19, I will do my very best to work with you to accommodate your new plans. I will simply move your deposit to the new date, and we can go from there. If we cannot find a date that I can move your booking to, you have a few options:
-
I'll commission one of my trusted photographers/videographers to capture your day in my absence. However, the edit and main storytelling of your day will still, of course, be done by myself.
-
If you decide against the above option, you can cancel your booking, but my terms and conditions will apply (see below).
-
If you reschedule to 2021, I will not charge you 2021 prices and will happily offer you the agreed package at the agreed rate.
-
If your new wedding plans include a different venue, I will waive any travel expenses within 2 hours from Bristol.
My policy on cancellations
In terms of cancellations, my policy is as follows:

Will my business go bust?
I hope not! I just wanted to reassure all my couples that my business has no plans to close down. I've seen in Facebook groups a few part-time photographers 'call it a day' and cancel whatever weddings they did have. All my equipment has been paid for and absolute worse case scenario I will go drive for Deliveroo for a few months and then dust off my cameras ready for work. I have some editing jobs and with the new self-employed funding plans I'm certain I will be fine. Even if my business downscales to part-time rest assured I will still be shooting, editing, and taking bookings. Fingers crossed my business will continue to do what it has done for 10+ years now.
​
Hopefully, this has helped make things a little clearer and put your minds at ease somewhat. I'm here if you have any questions and promise I will do the best I can to help. If you have any questions, please do ask.
​
I hope you are all safe and your parents/grandparents are too. All fingers, toes and paws crossed this will all be over soon, and we can carry on as usual
