Following guidelines and/or mandates from the Centers for Disease Control, Missouri Department of Heath and Senior Services, Illinois Department of Public Health, Jefferson County, St. Charles County, St. Louis County and St. Louis City Health Departments, and the St. Louis Metropolitan Pandemic Task Force, Fish Eye Fun currently requires that all events enforce proper safety protocols to prevent the spread of COIVD-19.

These protocols include but are not limited to:

1. For indoor events, client and venue will require all guests, staff and vendors to wear cloth face masks at all times during the event except when eating and drinking while seated at a table or briefly having their photo taken.
   
   We understand enforcement and compliance with mask guidelines can be difficult so we will look at each event on a case-by-case basis to determine if we can confidently provide a safe working environment for our employees. For example, if there are concerns about mask compliance, we may be able to setup outside on a patio or in a pre-function area separate from the main event space.
2. For indoor and outdoor events, client and venue will require all guests and vendors to observe social distancing at all times.
3. Client will reduce guest count as needed to ensure social distancing can be observed.

Safety protocols also require restrictions to our service that include but are not limited to:

1. For most indoor events and wedding receptions, in order to allow guests to remove masks for photos, we must limit the groups of people in each photo to household groups only with a maximum of six people total.
2. For outdoor events, we must limit the groups of people in each photo to maximum of six people. Larger groups such as bridal parties may be allowed if coordinated prior to the start of the event.
3. No wearable props like hats, glasses, and boas will be provided or allowed. Stock and custom prop signs will still be provided for guests to hold.
4. We will we require a larger physical foot print than normal. We may use tables and stanchions to control access to the space around our camera and create a barrier between guests and employees to ensure social distancing can be maintained. We will also place the prop table and printer table farther away than normal to maintain social distancing with the photographer.
5. Because guests must stand farther away from the camera to maintain social distancing with our team, we will be using a different wide angle lens. Switching to FEF Studio is also an option

In an effort to compensate for these service restrictions, we will include:

1. Extra prints for guests.
2. Extra prints for clients.
3. Extra custom prop signs.

More detailed information (the fine print) on these safety protocol requirements and adjustments to our services can be found on our COVID-19 Event Policies page. We will make adjustments to these policies as guidelines and mandates from the authorities mentioned above change.
