Q: ¿What is the process for booking and securing your services?
A: Booking and securing my services is a straightforward process. Once we've had a consultation and discussed your wedding details, the next step is to reserve your wedding day. To secure the date, I will provide you with a contract that outlines all the agreed-upon services, terms, and conditions. Once the contract is signed, a retainer deposit of 50% of the total value of the photography service is required. This deposit ensures that your wedding day is exclusively reserved for you. The remaining balance will be due closer to the wedding date, as specified in the contract. I strive to make the booking process seamless and hassle-free, so you can focus on enjoying the journey to your special day.
