Wedding & Portrait contracts...

W00DY

Hi All,

I am having some difficulty finding / creating contracts for my portrait sessions and weddings (also a standard model release.

Does anyone have an example they could send me so I can use it as a starting point? (just PM me and I will send you my email address)

Would really appreciate it.

Cheers,

No need to PM. There are enough resources online for me to link you to.

Do you want a contract that's easy to read and understand or a more "bulletproof" contract full of legaleese?

Easy to read for sure. Just something that covers any copyright issues, ownership etc...

I have a basic Portrait one (but would like to see others to make sure mine are not to basic) but I have no Wedding ones at all.


Appreciate your help.

Keep it simple
I really struggled with mine. I bought an Amphoto book of legal forms for photographers that came with a disk; It was too complex.

PPA has one for their members; Again, so complex I was afraid my clients would be scared off

Shay Stephens offered one for us to use in his Wedding Bootcamp.

I found one from another photographer that fit me just about right but I bought it with the provision that it was confidential. I added some of Shay's clauses to that one.

I did find that each one needed tweeking just for me - there are so many clauses because each of us runs our businesses differently.
