This agreement contains the entire understanding between Andrew Alexander Photography and The Client(s).
CONFIRMATION
A signed “Photography Contract” and payment of the booking fee are necessary to confirm the agreed services from Andrew Alexander Photography on the confirmed session date.
BOOKING & PAYMENTS
A non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your date.

The remaining balance must be paid in full no later than 14 days before the session date. If the Client(s) fail to make payment by this time, Andrew Alexander Photography reserves the right, at their discretion, to treat this agreement as terminated by the Client(s).
Upon receipt of the booking fee, Andrew Alexander Photography will reserve the date exclusively and decline all other enquiries for that date. As such, in the event of cancellation or postponement by the Client(s), all payments made are non-refundable, except where otherwise stated in these Terms & Conditions.

The Client(s) may request to reschedule the session to a new date; however, availability cannot be guaranteed.
