A booking is not permission
Do not block commerce, ceremonies or roads for photographs. Ask permission before close portraits and accept a refusal immediately.
Weather, water, health, ceremony and local access can change the correct decision. Follow qualified operators and current site instructions—even when that means cancelling.
