Gift vouchers for a package; The gift voucher entitles the holder to a single photography session only and includes the items as detailed in the information section on your invoice/our website (at the time of ordering) for the session/package you have selected. Approximately 2 to 3 weeks after the date of the holders photography session, they will be invited to view their gallery of images and place their order. Should the holder wish to upgrade their package (from the package on their gift voucher), this can be selected at their viewing appointment and the value of the holders gift voucher shall be used as credit towards their upgraded package. In this circumstance, the Client agrees to forfeit any and all products that may be included on the gift voucher in exchange for upgrading their package (i.e. you will not receive items in the original package PLUS items in the upgraded package. Only items in the selected, upgraded package shall be delivered to the Client). All items ordered will be charged at our normal rates at the time of placing an order.  All orders are payable at the time an order is placed and cannot be canceled or altered due to the bespoke nature of our items. The Photographer will endeavor to fulfill print/USB orders within 28 days of receiving full payment for an order or within 28 days of the Client(s) selecting their images for print (if this date occurs later than payment). The Photographer will endeavor to fulfill wall art/product orders within 4 to 6 weeks of receiving full payment for an order or within 28 days of the Client approving an album proof (where applicable).

Cancellation: The gift voucher will be forfeited if the holder does not attend their appointment (session or viewing) and all print credit shall also be forfeited. Rescheduling, and carrying over your gift voucher may be considered where (1) more than 48 hours notice of cancellation is given and (2) if there is a genuine reason beyond your control. Any such rescheduling and carrying-over is entirely at the sole discretion of Moondrop Photography and Film.

Expired Gift Vouchers: Gift vouchers are non-refundable and it is the holder’s responsibility to book their session within good time. We recommend contacting us to book your session at least 6 weeks before your gift voucher is due to expire, as we do get booked up well in advance.

Credit vouchers towards products; These are valid for the period of time as stated on the gift voucher (usually 30 days’ from issue) and must be used against images from the session from which the package was purchased. Expiry dates cannot be extended. Where a gift voucher provides credit towards a product (such as wall art), then this credit cannot be used on any other item, has no monetary value, and is non-transferable.

Credit vouchers towards another session; These are valid for the period of time as stated on the gift voucher and can be used as credit towards an order from any full session (does not apply to Mini Sessions, including Christmas Mini Sessions). Your credit will be deducted from your order and cannot be used to reduce the booking fee for your new session.

Your discount will be deducted from your order (package and/or products) and cannot be used to reduce the booking fee for your session.
