Booking & FAQs
How do I book a session?
You can enquire through my website or Instagram. Your date is reserved once you have accepted the photography agreement, paid the 30% booking payment, and received my booking confirmation. The booking payment forms part of your total price.
The remaining balance and any approved additional coverage fees are due within three calendar days after the session.
How should I prepare?
Before your session, I’ll send a short questionnaire to learn about your plans, preferences, and the people or moments that matter most to you.
Please take time to explore my portfolio before booking, so you know what to expect from my photography and editing.
Wear something you feel comfortable in. If you wear makeup, light or natural makeup often works well with my approach. I can also suggest locations, walking routes, makeup artists, or florists if needed.
For weddings, please send your final schedule, venue details, and group photo list at least 14 days beforehand. If you book closer to the date, please send these as soon as possible.
What is your photography style?
My work combines documentary storytelling with a soft, film-inspired aesthetic. I focus on natural light, genuine interactions, and the relationship between people and their surroundings.
You don’t need posing experience. I’ll offer gentle guidance when helpful and leave space for moments to unfold naturally. Reference images can help you explain your preferences, but I cannot promise to reproduce another photographer’s images or style.
What editing is included?
I adjust exposure, colour, and tone, with basic skin retouching where appropriate. I preserve natural skin texture and the atmosphere of the scene.Extensive beauty retouching, body reshaping, major background changes, and other complex digital alterations are not included.
Who selects the photographs?
I select the final photographs, taking into account image quality, expressions, variety, and the story of your session.
You’ll receive edited, high-resolution JPG photographs. Your agreed package specifies the minimum number included. RAW files, unselected photographs, and working files are not included.
Does travel between locations count towards the session?
Yes. Coverage is continuous, so travel between locations and waiting for wedding proceedings count towards your booked time.
We’ll plan a route and schedule that fit your booking.
What happens if I arrive late or the wedding runs behind schedule?
The booking runs from the agreed start time to the agreed finish time. Client lateness or schedule delays do not automatically extend the session.
If you would like additional coverage, we can agree this during the session, subject to my availability. Delays alone do not create extra charges.
If I am late and your coverage is reduced, I will make up the lost time or provide an appropriate price reduction.
How is additional coverage charged?
Additional coverage must be approved by you or your nominated contact.
If I agree to continue, an overrun of up to 15 minutes is free. Once it exceeds 15 minutes, the entire overrun is charged in started 30-minute units at the VAT-inclusive rate confirmed in your booking.
For example, 16 extra minutes count as one unit, and 35 extra minutes count as two.
Can I reschedule?
You may request one rescheduling without a rescheduling fee by giving at least two calendar months’ notice before your booked date, subject to my availability.
Your booking payment transfers to the agreed new date. The new date and any changes to the services or price must be confirmed in writing. If we cannot agree on a new date, the cancellation terms apply.
What happens if I arrive late?
A grace period of up to 10 minutes is allowed for client lateness. Where my schedule permits, I will extend the finish time by the same amount without charge.
If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, the entire waiting period counts towards your booked session, and the original finish time applies.
If you would like to extend the session, additional coverage can be agreed subject to my availability.
How is additional coverage charged?
Additional coverage requires your approval and is charged at 1,000 DKK per hour, including 25% VAT, in started 30-minute units of 500 DKK.
If I agree to continue, an overrun of up to 10 minutes is free. Once the overrun exceeds 10 minutes, the entire overrun is charged from the agreed finish time.
For example, 11 extra minutes cost 500 DKK, and 35 extra minutes cost 1,000 DKK. Schedule delays alone do not authorise additional charges.
What happens if I cancel or do not attend?
If you cancel your booking, the cancellation charge is normally 30% of the agreed total price.
If you cancel on the day of the session or fail to attend without prior notice, an additional fee of 700 DKK, including VAT, applies on top of the 30% cancellation charge.
Payments already made will be credited towards these charges. Any remaining payment for services not provided will be refunded.
Do your prices include VAT?
Yes. All prices quoted to clients include 25% Danish VAT, known as moms. Your agreement, payment, and invoice are handled by Studio Xinru, trading as Mirrorflower Photography.
Available payment methods will be confirmed when booking. The price and services confirmed in your agreement apply to your booking. Later changes to website prices do not affect an existing booking unless we both agree in writing.
What editing and photographs are included?
I select the final photographs and edit them personally. Editing includes exposure, colour, and tonal adjustments, with basic skin retouching where appropriate.
Body reshaping, extensive beauty retouching, major background changes, and complex digital manipulation are not included.
You will receive selected, edited, high-resolution JPG photographs. The minimum number is confirmed in your booking. RAW files, unselected photographs, and working files are not included.
Will you share our photographs publicly?
I deeply respect my clients' privacy. At the same time, sharing the photographs I create is an important part of building my portfolio, expressing my artistic vision, and helping future clients discover my work.
For this reason, I offer two pricing options depending on your preferences for public sharing. Both options include the same photography service and delivery standards:
Portfolio Cooperation: the VAT-inclusive package base price, with separate consent to use selected photographs showing you on my website and in organic social media posts.
No Public Display: the VAT-inclusive package base price plus 20%. No photographs from your booking will be publicly displayed or used for promotion.
Permission does not cover identifiable guests, paid advertising, or third-party commercial use.
What should we tell our wedding guests?
Please let your guests know in advance that professional photography will take place and share my Privacy Notice.
If someone does not wish to be photographed, please tell me as early as possible so I can accommodate this within practical limits.
Being photographed does not automatically authorise promotional use. I obtain separate permission before using photographs of identifiable guests for promotion, and appropriate parent or guardian permission for children.
Can we print and share our photographs?
Yes. Once all fees are paid, you may download, back up, print, share with family and friends, and post your photographs on your personal social media accounts. Preview photographs may also be shared before full payment.
Copyright remains with the photographer. Commercial use, resale, or licensing to businesses requires separate written permission.
Let’s create something beautiful together!
