Unprecedented times

Hello friends! 

If you live on planet earth right now, you are likely aware that our world is slightly upside down while everyone is trying to navigate these unprecedented times. The coronavirus is making life less than easy for everyone. I wanted to focus specifically on what it means for people with weddings booked, people who are looking to have photos of their children, new babies, and overall what it means for my business {Other photographers and vendors can feel free to swipe some of this info as it applies to you}.

Firstly, Weddings

For those who's weddings are directly effected by the fast changes happening right now, I want you to know that I'm on your team! My plan is to be as flexible as possible to help all of my couples in any way possible while still keeping my business above water. It's been a hard time for anyone working with or in the event industry, that's for sure.

What I'm recommending my clients do if they know that their date has been effected is to postpone your date. I am opening all of my Fridays and Sundays that I can as available dates for clients needing to reschedule. Usually I only work one wedding a weekend but I know these times are hard and I want to ensure you have the least amount of stress as possible. 

Another option that I have seen some people do is to minimize their guest list and instead of having the large wedding, have just close family instead. This of course won't work for everyone but there may be some of you who would prefer a more intimate wedding.

If you would like to see a list of available dates that I have open, feel free to send me a direct message to hello@emmadavidsonphoto.com.

Unfortunately if you do decide to go with a date that I don't have available, you would be forfeiting your retainer. The remaining balance would, of course, not be due. Know that I also want to avoid this option, I want to celebrate with you and offer my service to you. I build such wonderful relationships with my clients and it means so much to me to follow the relationship through to the moment you have your photos hanging on your walls. 

Although these are unimaginable circumstances than non of us saw coming, the retainer collected helps to keep the business running (which is a part of why it is nonrefundable for any circumstance within your contract).
