When you book our photography services, a separate service agreement will be provided detailing the specific terms of the engagement, including scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and fees.

To secure a booking, a non-refundable deposit (typically 25-50% of the total fee) is required. The remaining balance is due according to the payment schedule in your service agreement, typically with full payment required before or on the day of the photography service.
Payments can be made via the methods specified in your service agreement. All prices are in British Pounds (GBP) and include VAT where applicable.
If you need to reschedule a photography session, please contact us as soon as possible. Rescheduling may be subject to availability and additional fees.

For wedding photography, we strongly recommend obtaining event insurance that covers photographer cancellation.
We will deliver your images within the timeframe specified in your service agreement, typically 2-6 weeks depending on the service. Images will be delivered in the format(s) specified in your agreement, which may include digital files, prints, albums, or other products.
We make every effort to capture all requested images, but cannot guarantee specific shots due to the unpredictable nature of live events and shooting conditions.
SmoothVector Photography retains the copyright to all photographs created as part of our services. Unless otherwise specified in writing, when you purchase our services, you are purchasing the right to use the images as specified in your service agreement, not the copyright ownership.
