Wedding Photographer Contract Template

Whether you’re just starting out on your photography journey or are already established, contracts are something a lot of us put off of creating... until we really need one! So don’t be that person - make sure yours is ready and waiting!

‍

Contracts are SO crucial and should be non-negotiable in your business! Remember, a contract is there not just to protect your client, but you too! During Covid, my contract protected me time and time again and was arguably one of the most important resources for my business. I wrote my contract many years ago, and had it checked by a legal expert in 2020, so it's ready to go!

‍

To save you the hassle of writing your own contract, my 12 page tried-and-tested contract template is easily accessible with Microsoft Word or Pages, is editable, and has clearly-highlighted areas so you know which parts you need to amend for your own business. I've also written a small introduction to the contract and how to use it, and, you'll get access to my exclusive Grace Elizabeth Education Facebook Group!
