You’re talented, outgoing, and creative. And, basically you have it going on for yourself, as a photographer- business is great!
At some point your mentor, a friend, or another photographer may have recommended a generic contract that you could download, copy, buy or re-draft for your business. Here is the problem; generic contracts are for generic situations and may not protect you in every instance.

Style boils down to lighting and composition. Shooting what a client wants is sometimes unrealistic from a time or cost standpoint for whatever reason, but as photographer we have to make it happen.

Should you be more concerned with your video photographers skill set or their equipment? You should be concern with a video photographers skill set as well as their equipment. Your video photographer can ruin your still photos with the tactics and the equipment they use
!Rookie video photographers are easy to spot. They move around abrupt, draw attention to themselves, and they are present in more photos than the bride and groom. Imagine looking at wedding photos of your ceremony? Then envision those same photos with a huge tripod, a camera stand, blocking your wedding party faces and your audiences view?
