I'm a photographer. As far as I can see, there is a wide variety of photographic and other equipment and props in your studio. How can I manage the shooting process quickly and efficiently if I have never shot at your studio before?
Good question!)) We will assist you in using any desired equipment, an on-site assistance is mandatory.
What are your hours?
We are at the office Wednesday-Sunday, 9 am-6 pm. However, we are happy to schedule a photo shoot for you outside these hours and on weekends. Please note that rates after 6 pm are an additional 50%.
Which payment methods do you accept?
The following Payment Methods are accepted: Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Cash, Gift Certificates, E-transfers.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, we do. We require full advanced payment. Please see the information here.
Do you make a refund of the deposit for booking a photo shoot if I cannot come to the shoot?
When the STUDIO confirms a booking request from a client, we agree to reserve our space indefinitely and not entertain other requests. Client cancellations create problems for the STUDIO because as the date draws closer to the start of the booking, the STUDIO's ability to rebook that space becomes increasingly difficult. At the same time, sometimes plans change for our guests, and they may need to cancel a confirmed booking.

We have developed the cancellation policy to provide some flexibility for clients while still providing security for the STUDIO. Clients may cancel their booking until 24 hours before the event starts and will receive a full refund of their booking price if rescheduling is not an option. If a booking's cancellation is submitted less than 24 hours before the event starts, we will charge a $400 cancellation fee.

If the STUDIO cancels the booking for any reason beyond our control, we will offer a 100% refund.

Please, contact us at 778-788-5154 or email us at info@zealandphoto.com
Do you charge for overtime?
Based on our 16 years' experience in the photography field, our clients usually underestimate their booking time. Therefore, we kindly hold an extra hour after your booking. It will not be considered overtime, and the regular hourly rate will be applied after one minute of overstay. If you do not need this after booking hour, you must leave the STUDIO when it is booked, no later.
Overtime is not applicable for any Staged Bookings.
Do you charge a cleaning fee?
Most items are subject to regular washing and drying, free of charge. However, we will charge a cleaning fee to cover the professional dry-cleaning of the clothes and fabrics that cannot withstand the conditions of a standard washer and dryer. This fee is based on the price provided by our dry-cleaning partners.

We could charge additional cleaning fees of $50 for those clients who did not clean up after themselves well enough. If your shoot involves hair cutting, flower arrangements, glitter, body art, sand or other elements that require extra cleaning time, be sure to manage your time correctly. We ask that everyone respects the space and leaves the STUDIO clean and tidy to avoid additional cleaning fees.
