Answer: Usually a deposit is paid. If the contract can be fulfilled, you ask to terminate the contract, and the deposit will not be refunded. But the specific circumstances of each case are different, and I can't give you an accurate answer. Specific to your own situation, whether to refund the deposit is determined according to the contents of the contract signed by both of you, and whether the contract stipulates how to perform the contract in case of force majeure such as epidemic situation. Second, it depends on the specific shooting method and location of your wedding photos. If you need to go abroad, at present, the epidemic situation abroad is serious, and it is really impossible to achieve the purpose of the contract. That deposit should be refunded. So you'd better read the contract as soon as possible.

legal ground

In Article 586 of the Civil Code, the parties may agree that one party shall pay a deposit to the other party as a guarantee for the creditor's rights. The deposit contract is established when the deposit is actually paid.

The amount of the deposit shall be agreed by the parties; However, it shall not exceed 20% of the subject matter of the main contract, and the excess shall not have the effect of deposit. If the actual amount of deposit paid is more than or less than the agreed amount, it shall be deemed as a change of the agreed amount of deposit.

Article 587 Where the debtor performs the debt, the deposit shall be set off as the price or recovered. If the party paying the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt is not in conformity with the agreement, thus the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, it has no right to request the return of the deposit; If the party receiving the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, so that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, the deposit shall be returned twice.

Article 180 A person who is unable to perform his civil obligations due to force majeure shall not bear civil liability. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail. Force majeure is an unforeseeable, unavoidable and insurmountable objective situation.

Article 563 The parties may terminate the contract under any of the following circumstances:

(a) the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved due to force majeure;

(two) before the expiration of the time limit for performance, one party clearly indicated or indicated by his own behavior that he would not perform the main debt;

(three) one party delays the performance of the main debt and fails to perform it within a reasonable period after being urged;

(4) One of the parties delays the performance of debts or commits other breach of contract, which makes it impossible to achieve the purpose of the contract;

(5) Other circumstances stipulated by law.

Article 590 Where the parties are unable to perform the contract due to force majeure, they shall be exempted from liability in part or in whole according to the influence of force majeure, except as otherwise provided by law. If the contract cannot be performed due to force majeure, the other party shall be informed in time to reduce the possible losses to the other party and provide proof within a reasonable time.

If force majeure occurs after the delay in performance, the parties concerned shall not be exempted from the liability for breach of contract.
