Contacting Us About Photo Days Only

To book a Photography Day with us please use our online form here: Photo Day Booking Form
(Please note that this form is for photo day bookings only not general enquiries)

Deposits And Booking

Upon booking your day with us we will send you an Invoice for the Deposit Payment that must be paid before your bookings are confirmed. At present payments can be made using most cards via PayPal or by direct bank transfer. Your deposit invoice will have the Bank Transfer details that you need should you wish to pay by this method.

All Deposits are non-refundable. In the event of us being unable to run the day for any reason (such as bad weather or equipment failure) you will be offered the opportunity to re-book on another day.

In the event of you being unable to attend on the day you booked, provided that you give us at least 24 hours notice we will offer you the opportunity to re-book another day from our available dates. If you provide less than 24 hours notice any offer to re-book will be at our discretion and you may lose your deposit payment.

If you do not turn up on the day without informing us at least 24 hours in advance you will lose your deposit and will not be offered to return on another available day. Should you book another day with us you will be asked to pay the full amount of the day at the time of booking.

Bad Weather Policy

We are not responsible for the weather. Our decision to run our outdoor photo days is made 24 hours in advance using a variety of different weather forecast sources and sometimes they, and we, will get it wrong.

Our indoor Liberty’s Birds Of Prey Studio day is held inside a barn that is also used for public flying displays when it is raining which means that we may have to vacate the area for around 30 minutes whilst the display goes ahead. Should this effect our program we will make up any lost time at the end of the day.

If we cancel a day due to the weather we will try to inform you by either telephone or email of our decision as early as possible.

If we cancel a day for any reason including the weather you will be offered the opportunity to return on another available day of your choosing.

If you choose not to turn up on the day that you booked without any prior notice and without any cancellation from us you will lose your deposit that was paid for that day. If in doubt please telephone or email us.

We suggest that if you are traveling any distance you contact us 24 hours before via telephone to confirm our decision.

Cancellation

We reserve the right to cancel any of our days at any time for any reason. These reasons could include, but are not restricted to, illness, welfare of our birds and animals, mechanical and equipment breakdown or failure, weather and weather damage as well as disease control measures such as “bird flu”. Obviously it is not in our interest to cancel any of our days and we will do as much as we reasonably can to avoid doing so.

If you cancel your booking with us we require at least 24 hours notice or more. Please note that any deposits that have been paid are non-refundable.

Gift Vouchers

Photo Day Gift vouchers can be bought directly from our website here: Gift Vouchers

Gift Vouchers are non-refundable, cannot be exchanged for cash, and are valid for one year from the date of issue.

One Gift Voucher is valid for one person to participate on one photo experience on one day.

Once you have booked a day using a Gift Voucher that voucher is deemed to have been used on that day. If you do not turn up on the day without giving us 24 hours notice the Gift Voucher will be considered as used and expired. If you give us at least 24 hours notice you may swap that voucher to be used on a different day of your choice.

Studio Based Days

Some of our days take place in an indoor studio environment. On these days we will provide the flash units, light stands, back ground stands, as well as a limited selection of light diffusers/reflectors, backgrounds and props of our choosing.

We also provide simple standard fitting flash triggers which fit on the vast majority of cameras that have a standard flash “hotshoe” mount. Some Sony (and old Minolta) cameras have a non-standard flash fitting for which adapters are available to convert them to a standard fitting. If you have a Sony camera it is worth checking with Sony as to whether or not you will need an adapter. It is your responsibility to provide one if required as we do not provide them. Adapters can be bought quite reasonably from outlets such as Amazon and Ebay.
