In such cases, the photographer will make all reasonable efforts to re-schedule the shoot at a mutually agreed-upon time and date at no additional cost. If re-scheduling is not possible, the photographer will refund any payments made by the client for the shoot, including the deposit, within a reasonable timeframe.
