Booking

I require a 25% non-refundable deposit (minimum $80) to be paid when you book. I do this so I can confidently turn away other possible bookings to protect your date.

I have no minimum booking number, however for smaller bookings (3 or less), I may require you to be flexible with timing in order for me to travel between other bookings on the day.

Any changes to numbers or location should be made 6 months prior to the booking. I will do my best to accommodate changes where possible, however within 6 months of the booking no significant reductions of the invoice will be made.

Cancellations

Any cancellations made within 6 months of the booking will be required to pay a 50% cancellation fee of the final invoice.

And in the case that I have to cancel your booking due to sickness or another significant personal event, a full refund of the services not provided will be made. And I will ensure every effort is made to help find a replacement stylist for your booking.

In the case of a cancellation or postponement occurring which is outside of the control of both parties (i.e. COVID restrictions), no further payment will be required above the 25% deposit.

Travel & Accommodation

I charge a $1.50/km of travel from St Martins. This cost covers mileage, and my time spent travelling which I cannot use with other clients.

For bookings outside of Christchurch (more than 2 hours’ drive starting prior to 6am), a 1-night stay is required at a cost of $200. Flights may also be arranged if the location allows, and transport to and from the airport must be provided.

Bridal Trials

Trials happen from my home studio in St Martins. Most trials will happen on available Fridays and Saturdays in the off season, and when my availability permits. I will do my best to find time for a trial if it coincides with a preferred date, but please consider that this work is not full-time for me, and my availability is limited. If you would like a trial at a different location, we can arrange this for usual booking fees plus travel costs.

Imagery

With your permission I may share behind the scenes content of your day on my social media or website.

You or your photographer are also welcome to share any of the professional photos with me too. And don't hesitate to let me know if you would not like anything from your day shared.
