AGREEMENT AS TO TERMS OF BUSINESS WITH BROOKFIELD PHOTOGRAPHER

Updated March 24 2019

 

Cancellation and Refund Policy
Photography sessions, known as “shoots”, are not confirmed until paid in full. Once a shoot is booked, that/those date(s) and time(s) are blocked from any other booking for the same period.  Fees paid to Brookfield Photographer are not refundable. Accordingly, Photography that is booked more than 5 days in advance requires a 5-day advance cancellation, failing which a 50% liquidated damage fee is assessed and applied as a credit to the Client’s account for later utilization.  For shoots booked less than 5 days in advance, 24 hours of advance cancellation is required to avoid a $250 cancellation charge.  In the event of a cancellation by the Client, the balance of the Client’s pre-payment is credited to the Client’s account for later utilization.  Rescheduling due to weather carries no cancellation charge.
