Wedding photography contracts are legal documents that dictate the expectations, rights, and legal restrictions involved in the relationship between a client and a professional wedding photographer. There are typically a number of different sections to this type of contract, which often details the compensation expected by the photographer, the date and time the work will be done, and the names of all parties involved in the agreement. This type of contract also typically includes terms that indicate how the copyright of the photographs will be handled by the parties involved. Wedding photography contracts may also serve as a model release form for the clients, and indicate any additional requirements a photographer may have.
Since photographs are protected under copyright, wedding photography contracts often indicate how the copyright will be handled. By default, the copyright on photographs are owned by the photographer, regardless of payment made by a client. The contract between a client and photographer often indicates if the copyright will be transferred to the client on payment for the photographs, and whether this transfer is full or only partial. Some contracts include transfer of digital copyrights to a client, while printing and publishing rights are maintained by the photographer.
