Photographer Brenda Bergreen shares tips for creating your first contract with clients as a wedding photographer.
Creating your first contract as a wedding photographer? My first tip is to hire a law professional to review your contract. While over a decade of experience in the wedding industry allows me to give you some tips based on my experience, a wedding photography contract is a legal document between you and your clients that outlines expectations, responsibilities, and deliverables.
When building your contract, you might lean toward the overly aggressive or overly lax side of the coin. I’ve always found it feels good to protect myself from things that are probable while not getting overly aggressive and starting off the client relationship with a harsh contract. So what are all the things that might go wrong? Let’s start with getting the right date and location!First off, any specifics and details you know should be included in your wedding photography contract.
You will want to include important expectations such as a model release that grants you permission to use the photos for your marketing purposes and even seemingly less important expectations such as if a meal will be provided so that you know whether or not you’ll be fed on a wedding day. You also want to include something about safety, compromised coverage, and/or an exclusivity clause to protect you from things that might get in your way preventing you from being able to do your job.
