FAQ
Should I include a ‘work-for-hire’ clause if I’m selling prints or digital albums?
Yes, this clause confirms ownership of the images stays with you, even if the couple pays for prints or albums. Without it, they might claim rights to the photos. The templates include this, but review it with a legal professional to ensure it aligns with your local laws and pricing structure for deliverables.
How do I handle clients who want unlimited edits or ‘endless’ retouching requests?
Specify a reasonable limit—such as two rounds of edits or 10 hours of retouching—beyond which fees apply. The contract templates often include an edits clause; use it to set expectations early and avoid last-minute disputes. Frame it as a service tier (e.g., ‘basic’ vs. ‘premium’ edits) to justify costs.
What’s the best way to address ‘no-show’ or last-minute cancellation policies for weddings?
Include a tiered deposit structure (e.g., 30% non-refundable upon booking, 50% refundable if canceled 60+ days out) and a clause stating the full deposit is forfeited for no-shows. The templates often have cancellation policy sections—adjust the timelines to match your business model, but avoid overly punitive terms that could deter clients.
