Wedding Photography Contract
A wedding photography contract is an agreement between a couple and a photographer that sets the terms for photographing a wedding, including coverage, deliverables, and payment. Use this when booking wedding photography services, to set clear expectations on coverage, delivery timeline, and what happens if either side needs to reschedule.
