All Photography booking

  1. All photographs are taken under the agreement that you will distribute the ordering details.
  2. Bookings are made under the agreement that we will provide photography on the agreed date. There may be unforeseen circumstances where this isn’t possible i.e. photographer illness, in these situations we will do our best to honour this booking date for you. If this isn’t possible other available dates will be offered.
  3. Agreed dates may be changed by you although we cannot guarantee we could accommodate specific date changes, especially at short notice.
  4. Pre-agreed commission payments are made for your school funds.
  5. There may be a charge for some photography, but this would be discussed with you prior to the photography taking place.
  6. If after a photography booking you decide not to put the photographs on sale then we reserve the right to charge an attendance fee.
  7. Photographs are online for parents to view and order within 24 hours of being taken. Orders for group photographs will only be printed and dispatched when either;
  • The image has been approved by the school
  • Or the time period for the schools to approve the image has passed



Staged Group Photography Bookings

  1. We will agree a start time of the photography with you after the site visit.
  2. If the weather prevents us taking the photograph we will endeavour to arrange an alternative date. However, if it is deemed by our photographers that we can work around the day’s weather forecast but the school cancels the booking on the day, then the school will be charged an attendance fee of £1000.00.
  3. Photography booked to be associated to names, will initially go on sale to parents with the title of the group. Once the school have approved the names then the parents will be able to order the photograph with names.
  4. Any changes to the photograph that you are aware of prior to the booking must be discussed with us before photography day. There may be a charge for amendments.
  5. Any site changes that may have occurred since we completed our last visit to the school for staged group photographs must be communicated to us prior to the photography day.
