The rescheduled date must be within 30 days from the original booking date. Shannon Studios reserves the right to charge the full fee along with any costs incurred by the company in relation to the confirmed booking.

    Use of our backdrops as portrait backgrounds is free of charge. We charge £10/m for reasonable (floor) use of our backdrops. For full use of a backdrop roll, we charge £80. If you would like us to order a colour that is not currently available at Shannon Studios, please contact us as much time in advance as possible (3+ days) as we cannot be held responsible for any delay in the backdrop reception.
