What did you all do for contracts?

[Vertigo]

Just wondering what the pros (full or part-time) here did for their contracts (wedding photography primarily but other types too I guess).

Every time I see this question come up on a forum, there's the usual chorus of "get a lawyer to do it or you'll regret it" but I refuse to believe that everyone who's shot a wedding for financial remuneration (i.e. not just a favour) has had their contract drawn up by a lawyer.

Have any of you simply taken an existing template or example and customised it yourselves?

I suspect the reality is that most Google wedding photography contract pick one they like and tailor it slightly I very much doubt every wedding tog is using a lawyer much like they are not all using accountants. The Internet is full of myths!

And a fee for replying to the email.

And usage of electronic ink.

All adds up!

Insurance gave us the basis for ours, but have then added and updated a few bits!
