Booking terms

Shoots, Styling and Changes

Last updated 1 October 2026

Every Olive booking is planned around one person, one day and one clear brief. This page explains how we hold a date, what a shoot includes and what happens if your plans change.

Holding Your Date

  • A date is held once the booking form and a quarter of the fee reach us
  • We send a written plan, a call sheet and a mood board two weeks before
  • The rest of the fee is due on the day of the shoot or event

What a Shoot Includes

Planning, the shoot itself, a first edit within ten working days and one round of changes. Prints, albums and extra hours are quoted separately before anything is booked.

Changing Your Plans

Move your date once at no cost with two weeks of notice. If you cancel, we keep the deposit and refund everything else paid.
