Photography contract term length?

Paige, on May 15, 2023 at 10:39 PM Posted in Planning 0 5
Does anyone know why a wedding photographer would say that the term of the contract lasts 3 years? Is it so they can post your photos on their site of social media?


“The term of this agreement shall begin on may 9 2023 and end on may 9, 2026.
Thanks!

    I honestly haven't seen that before - that would be a great question to ask your photographer. Maybe it also has to do with postponing - such as, if you end up postponing your wedding to a date beyond the contract expiration date, then they can change their pricing and terms?

    I would expect it would be in case of postponements, it would give them the ability to make changes or adjust to market rates factoring in inflation. I can’t imagine it having anything to do with social media, and if there is a concern about social media, you should be able to specify and negotiate that separately,

    A clause like that should include a provision for you too. The finished product has to be delivered at professional level of quality and postponements by the photographer extend the end of contract. And your rights and benefits to the finished product continue in perpetuity.

    Does the contract appear to be drawn up by a lawyer, or perhaps a standardized contract in the profession? I'm just suggesting things to think about.

    Oh it says in a different section when to expect the product. That clause was for showing photos on her site. I asked!
