Wedding Videography Contract

If there's one area of Wedding and Event pros that get the most pushback, it's my Videographers.  We've drafted this Wedding Videography Services Agreement to be a hot-tamale of a doozy, locking in nonrefundable retainers, breaking down payments in a way that ensures you keep as much as possible if a client cancels or disputes, and doing the "heavy lifting" in intellectual property clauses. From beginning to end, this agreement has been drafted with you, the wedding videographer, in mind. And in an industry worth $300 billion, you've got to make sure you've covered your bases. This Wedding Videographer Agreement includes the following: A built-in Model Release for the clients who are signing this agreement; Clauses addressing cancellation of the contract for when you need to "fire" a Client (or when things just aren't working out); A separate "travel fee" portion with contact advice to keep you safe for when you take your show on the road, ensuring you don't get stuck in a grimy hotel
