“Only services booked 30 mins in advance are accepted. Check your selected date and time.” — what does this mean?

This is a time validation rule in the booking system.

What it means:
You cannot book a service for a time that is too close to the current time.
A minimum gap of 30 minutes is required between booking time and service start time.

Why this rule exists:

1. Travel Time
Photographers need enough time to reach your location.

2. Proper Preparation
They need time to accept the booking, check details, and get ready.

3. Reliable Service
Without this buffer, delays and missed bookings will happen.

Example:
Current time: 3:00 PM

❌ Trying to book for 3:10 PM → Not allowed
✅ Booking for 3:30 PM or later → Allowed

When will you see this error?
• If you select a time within the next 30 minutes
• If your selected time is already too close or passed

How to fix it:
• Choose a time at least 30 minutes ahead
• Or use Instant Booking if you need a photographer immediately

Bottom line:
This rule ensures photographers can reach on time and deliver a smooth experience.
