Covid-19 Updates to terms 2020
Covid-19 Statement Released and notified to existing clients – 18 March 2020 & subsequently as appropriate
With a degree of uncertainty egarding the Covid-19 outbreak over the coming weeks and months Peter Redhead Photography wants to reassure you that all measures will be undertaken to fulfil photography for your wedding when and wherever possible.
Should a change to your planned wedding date or venue occur there is an existing process outlined in the agreement which will come in to effect; section 8.0 relating to change of date or rescheduling.
Should changes occur which affect the original planned date please initiate an open dialogue to keep me informed at the earliest opportunity. For example; if you become ill, venue restrictions or closures are put in place etc
To go a step a further, I personally want to reassure you that my priority is to support you any way I can by being flexible with new wedding dates and last minute changes should the occasion arise. It is my absolute intention to fulfil photography for your wedding irrespective of changes to format (civil, church, celebrant), date, venue and size. I do have other existing wedding date commitments so this must also be taken in to consideration should the need arise.
Our agreement confirms that paid balances and the commission will transfer seamlessly over to your new plans.
For further peace of mind I have put additional measures in place should I personally be unable to photograph your wedding due to illness. Firstly you will be notified and a substitute photographer will be sourced. If the wedding goes ahead as planned and it was not possible to locate a substitute for me then any balance will be refunded.
In the event your plans are postponed without a confirmed new date the process will be as follows; notify me asap, advise your immediate intentions regarding new dates etc , keep an open dialogue with me. Paid balances and payment dates remain unchanged as per the scenarios outlined above and our agreement.
Whilst its unlikely, should you cancel your wedding entirely the process for doing so is outlined in sections 8.2 to 8.7 of the commission agreement.
