inclement weather

so i had a shoot scheduled today. it started to rain a bit as is normal for summer time Florida afternoons, my customer is now trying to back out of the shoot. what is the customer service friendly way to handle this?

Do what ever your contact says - if you don't have one shame on you

lol, there was one, but i didnt want to make the customer do something they didnt feel comfortable doing. what i did was allow for a little extra time for the bad weather to pass through, this was the customer's idea, then i explained that due to ambient lighting limitations we would have to shorten the session. the pictures still came out pretty awesome!

My contract covers me for weather and everything else - in plain terms it reads - if you cancel i keep deposit no matter what - if i cancel you get back only what you paid - if you cancel without at least 72 hours notice you still have to pay me full balance

people sign it all the time and ive only had to enforce it once (oh i cant make it because i missed my flight. i call back the number they used to ask if they wanted to rebook for when they finaly arrived and it was a local hotel)
