OVERALL, YES!
For all of my session types, I require a 50% deposit to secure your selected date and cover me for my time in advance. The second half of the fee would be due two days before!

For weddings/elopements, I require a 30% deposit and all applicable travel fees to book, and the remaining balance must be paid in full no later than three weeks prior to your date.  How you choose to break up those payments is up to you!
