Once you have found who you think will provide the best service and capture the magical moments of your special day, it\u2019s important that you schedule a time with them to sit down to discuss and go over your wedding photography contract in detail. A wedding photography contract is essential to ensure there is no miscommunication between you and your photographer. It outlines what you should expect to happen on your special day, you and your photographer\u2019s guidelines and the price. Some common things that are included in a typical contract are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Compensation and Fees<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This expresses what your photographer determines you will be responsible for outside of the pricing for your photographs. It includes their retainer fees, price for additional hours outside of the package, and if you must take responsibility for traveling costs for your photographer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Product Pricing and Order Placement<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This part of your contract is of course one of the most important to go over, because it provides the details of what services included and the price. It also describes ordering timelines or when a product price increase. Since weddings are often booked a year plus in advance, your photographer is guaranteeing an album or products at a set price even though the price may increase. Ordering your album late means you\u2019ll have to pay that price increase.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Limitation of Liability<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Photography is a subjective art and many things outside of the photographer\u2019s control go into creating beautiful photographs.\u00a0 Sometimes images are missed or quality suffers due to these uncontrollable circumstances but the photographer cannot be held responsible. Examples are if the venue limits photographs, the environment prohibits the photographer from taking photos from being taken due to weather or lighting or \u00a0makeup and appearance. It also describes your recourse if something goes wrong and you suffer damages. I encourage you to look over this part of the contract thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Copy Right and Usage<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Photographers automatically own the copyrights to images as soon as they\u2019re created. They may place some limits on how you can use them yourself. Be sure to look over and discuss how each of you will be using the photographs outside of personal use. For photographers, they often use and have the right to use your pictures for portfolios or commercial use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Change of Date\/Cancellation Policy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We all know sometimes things don\u2019t go as planned, and it\u2019s best that you know what will occur if you have to change the date or need to cancel your services. Unlike what many people think, you aren\u2019t due a refund if your event doesn\u2019t occur because the photographer hasn\u2019t does any work. There is a lot of prep work done before the wedding but more importantly, your photographer has likely turned away other couples for your date and is losing a significant portion of their income. Liquidated damages is a common clause included that outlines any cancellation fees so look read this thoroughly so you aren\u2019t surprised if the unfortunate happens.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s common in a wedding photography contract Finding the perfect wedding photographer can take months as you search different websites, Instagram, or Facebook pages.
