This contract is everything and more. So worth the money and covers everything to need to protect you and your client. You'll walk into a wedding day knowing you're set! I appreciate the customer service. I made an error in my purchase and thought I was going to be lost for the cash I spent. But thankfully they were able to help me rectify the situation and I was so thankful!

A common (and GREAT) question is the differences in our wedding services contracts.

Wedding Essentials is the general wedding contract you have with clients.

Destination are full, standard weddings photographed at destination locations (not within your local area - think across or out of country).

Elopements - small scale weddings limiting number of people and activites. These won't typically include full-receptions etc.

-Can I use these contracts if not in the US?

TheLawTog®’s contract forms are drafted on general American law-based contract principles and are applicable to many states. Due to variations in law based on location and business policies, the contracts are editable and easily adaptable. If you are a photographer outside the US, the policies may be implemented for your business, but U.S. Federal Copyright laws and other legal theories may not apply. For example, in the United States, unless otherwise contracted, the photographer retains copyright ownership of images. However, in other countries, the law may give the copyright ownership to the client and necessitate a provision for transfer.

Great bundle

I'd been looking for a bundle of contracts, and this was exactly what I needed.

Simple but Critical

You might think a receipt is all you need, but this agreement can supplement other documents to help protect photographers from fraudulent claims about failure to deliver and customers who never cease to expect add-on products and services that were never in the original agreement.

Awesome General Commercial Contract Template

Very thorough and great for photographers!

Glad to have this privacy agreement

I've had a client ask me what happens if they don't want to sign the model release and I didn't have an answer until now! Thanks again Law Tog!

Great program

This has helped me in so many ways. Rachel gives so many tips and worksheets to help you grow your business. Will always recommend!!

Love being properly protected

Professional contracts at an affordable price. Peace of mind is priceless!

Website & Social Mefia Bundle

Well written. Only had slight modifications to make. Saved me many hours of work drafting my own documents

Excited

I’m really looking forward to the workshop and hope it will fill in some empty gaps in my routines and how I set up my business .

Second Shooter Contract Bundle

Waste of money

A total waste of money. Very overpriced for what you get.

We always appreciate feedback and the time you took to reach out to us. As we mentioned in email communications, it sounds like you were expecting additional items such as a policy sheet and client guide to be included within the contract. We do not believe nor advise in including these in your contract as it can overwhelm the client and legally complicate the relationship. Our attorneys have reviewed the non-lawyer drafted contract you are comparing ours to via email and have found some potential issues than may arise for you. We will be happy to send these notes along via email to you.

Please keep in mind these are templates that are fully editable to meet your own personal needs with the assistance of an attorney if you choose to make major edits.

Great INFO…Very Helpful!

Everything I Needed!

This bundle had everything I needed and more! I’m so glad to have a legal website with the terms and privacy policy that I know are legal for all areas. This was just what I was looking for and it was so helpful to have the parts I needed to change be highlighted so I didn’t get lost in all the words but could make changes easily to fit my business.

Not going to lie, I was stunned at myself for buying over $600 in items from you. BUT after reviewing the wedding contract I purchased, right away I knew this was the best investment I could make! Thank you so much!

A contract that covers all bases makes me feel free/liberated to go and produce the art I love vs fearing the potential negative intent of some.

Very Detailed. Excellent! Thank you. :)

This portrait contract bundle is my most-used contract. I've been usingTheLawTog contracts since I first found Rachel way back in 2011/2012 when I first started out. I had no idea what all needed to be covered in a photography contract, much less how to word it right. Since Rachel is not only a practicing IP lawyer, but also a photographer & business consultant, I am the confidence & peace of mind that the contract templates cover everything photographers need in a contract in order to protect our livelihoods. Before I found TheLawTog I got one of those super-cheap contracts floating around the internet, but I've never used it because I didn't feel like those 4 or 5 paragraphs would actually protect my business. TheLawTog contracts are super easy to edit & customize to best suit my specific needs, then I have my local lawyer review it to be sure it's valid for my state/local laws and no changes need to be made.

The contract and release were exactly what i needed and will use moving forward. However, because this first event was more of a barter for services, i still have to write an addendum, or attached note with details. I don’t know exactly how to vet that part once i wrote it.

Good contracts at a good price!

Purchased these last week & modified them slightly to fit my needs. I asked my local attorney to review them, making sure that the contracts& my modifications are legal in my state. My attorney informed me it would have cost me a lot more had I hired him to write similar contracts from scratch.

Excellent resource

Love this and other templates from TLT. So simple yet precise and customizable. Makes it seem simple but helps me feel protected in my business.

Exactly what I needed!

After coming across this deal, I realized I didn't have this tool for my own reference! Immediate purchase and will be a forever used document in my client work. Thank you again Rachel!

This is well worth the cost for your business!

Everything in this bundle is exactly what I needed. I have a company operating out of Canada which made me hesitant to purchase, however I found the FAQ’s were very helpful in determining if these would work for me. They are very easy to modify and there was not much that needed to be changed. My lawyer would have charged me at least $1500-$2500 for these, so it also saved my company cost. Thank you very much Rachel for creating these for us

This is exactly what I needed to get my business started!!

So much value!

When we chose to include pet photography as one of our specialties I expected finding proper legal document coverage to be ....well, trickier! Here it all is plus extras I wouldn't have thought of. Totally a life saver!

I love how short and easy to understand it was.

Super easy and simple!

A couple reached out wanting to book a destination wedding so I searched thelawtog's website and sure enough, I found the perfect contract! I'm so grateful I was able to purchase, download, and easily fill out my contract! Thanks for everything!

As a photographer who has recently included licensing of my extensive still and video library, Rachel‘s commercial license contract was invaluable in helping me protect my assets and limit liability as well as carry-on in a professional manner with a new product line.
