  Obviously not everything works for everyone, but that is what I do. Good luck!

  I'm not sure if this is the right forum so feel free to move if it's not, but I have a question I need answered quickly as something just came up.
  
  If someone, say photographer A was hired to do a wedding and hired photographer B to help out and photograph knowing that only Photographer A would be able to sell the photographs, who owns the copyright to photographer B's images? Is photographer B allowed to use the images in their portfolio as long as they're not trying to sell the images?
  thanks

  Just put whatever you want in your contract, and if the bride signs it then it's her problem if she also signs something that conflicts with the other photographer's contract. Not your problem at all.
  
  Of course, if you want to be professional about it, don't wait till the wedding for things to blow up. Sit down with the bride and ask her to contact the other photographer and make sure things are cool. That's just good business, lol...
