Prior to any photo session, we will request from the client any special areas, property highlights or scenes that they would like to make sure are included in the photo session. If for some reason the photographer does not fulfill these requests, we will schedule a reshoot to get the content needed. If the customer would like to order a reshoot because of wet exterior conditions or items like the windows were not cleaned or are wet and the moisture shows and dominates the view of the image, there will be a charge to come back out and reshoot the necessary areas. The charge will be based on what needs to be photographed to fulfill the order successfully.

As covered in our weather policy section, we do not recommend a photo shoot occurring during or right after rain has fallen. Wet exteriors and wet windows are not a good way to highlight your properties best features.

If the sky is overcast, there will not be a need to reshoot if the customer has purchased our add-on package that includes professional photo editing as we guarantee a blue sky with every professional photo editing order.

We will shoot your property whether it is cloudy, or the skies are clear. We offer a blue-sky guarantee with our professional photo editing service which is included in our Digital Media Package add-on.

We will monitor the weather as your shoot date approaches and we will contact you if we feel we need to change the date of the photography session due to inclement weather 48 hours prior to the scheduled session.

If we advise that a change in dates is recommended but the client still wants to shoot on the scheduled day, there will be a $100 charge to reschedule the shoot if the weather does not allow us to complete the photography session as originally scheduled.

If the client agrees that a reschedule is needed upon our recommendation, there will be no charge to reschedule your shoot.

When you schedule a photography shoot with Central Alabama Photography and Video, you are reserving an available time slot and that slot is your guarantee that we will be on-site at the scheduled day and time to complete your photography session. If you cancel or reschedule on the same day as your scheduled appointment, we will have incurred a financial loss. Our cancellation policies are outlined in our Policies and Terms of Service, and we know that clients do not like having to pay for cancellation fees if they can be avoided. We ask if you are going to cancel to please notify us 48 hours prior to your scheduled photography session. This will allow us the opportunity to fill that time slot with another photography session. If the appointment is cancelled on the day of scheduling the following charges will occur:
  • If the photographer has not arrived at the shoot location and the session is cancelled, the client will be charged $50.
  • If the photographer has arrived at the shoot location and the client cancels the shoot or the property is not prepared for the shoot the client will be charged $75. Twilight photography sessions will be charged $100.
  • f the photography session is cancelled due to weather and the client did not notify Central Alabama Photography and Video 48 hours prior to the schedule photography session, a $100 charge will be incurred by the client.
