Free Bird Photography shall be the exclusive photographer retained by the client for the purpose of photographing the wedding day.

retainer and payment
The client shall pay a retainer of one half of the total package price to secure the services and product specified herein. Upon signing this contract the amount of the retainer shall be applied to reduce the total balance of the package and reserves the time and date agreed upon, and will make no other reservations for that time and date, making the retainer nonrefundable.

cancellation or postponement
If the client should cancel the event for any reason, the retainer will not be refunded. If canceling this contract the client must notify the photographer in writing. To consider a date change, the photographer must first receive a written release of the current contracted date, which will null and void this written contract. If the client needs to change the event date all monies paid will transfer to the new date per a newly written and signed contract if that date is available for the photographer.
