What If You’re I’ll?
If I were unable to attend your wedding due to illness and couldn’t find anyone to cover the wedding for me, I would refund all payments made, excluding any pre-wedding shoots already completed.

Throughout the process, I’d keep everything transparent and stay in close communication with you both.
