Wedding photography contract checklist

Coverage hours, second shooters, delivery schedule, image rights, backup process and cancellation rules belong in writing.

Define coverage precisely

Put start/end times, locations, second-shooter coverage, travel, overtime and key events in the contract. A vague promise of “full-day coverage” can mean different things.

Understand deliverables

Ask for estimated gallery size, editing style, delivery timeline, download resolution, album terms and what happens to RAW files. Confirm whether previews are guaranteed.

Clarify usage rights

Copyright and personal-use licences vary. If privacy matters, ask whether the photographer can publish images on portfolios, social media, blogs or award submissions.

Source discipline

Open the current official source before committing money. XMarry separates source facts, independent editorial criteria and user reviews; pricing, inventory, venue packages and travel conditions can change.

How this was written
