Pack Image Contract For Free

Proper contract cancellation should be well-documented. Both parties should specify the reason for the cancellation and when it took place. If any part of the obligations on either side of the contract were fulfilled before the termination, this should be stated clearly.

When written correctly, a photography contract is legally binding and will describe the responsibilities and rights of both the client and the photographer. It's important to make sure your contract is written in such a way that it will be valid in multiple scenarios.

Most commercial photographers charge a cancellation fee of 100% of the project-related expenses they incur, and 50% of their Creative Fee (photography + usage fees), for photo shoots that clients cancel. Many photographers also increase the cancellation fee the closer the cancellation date is to the photo shoot date.

Unfortunately, we're going in another direction and you no longer fulfill our vision. We are thus canceling our contract. We understand all monies paid are final and are not seeking a refund. Please send written confirmation of this cancellation.

Wondering when you should send your photography client their contract? Right away! Be sure to draw up a contract for photography before you do any work. You can get your client on the phone to gather all the relevant information for the job, then send a proposal with your quote and basic terms immediately after.

"Hi (Vendor's Name), Thank you so much for your proposal and taking the time to walk us through your services. We've decided to move forward with another (photographer or any other vendor) that better suited our wedding (or any other reason - budget, personality, style, etc.).

Be Honest About the Problem The client should be upfront and honest, explaining the reason they aren't able to work with that vendor. Whether it's because they're no longer having a destination wedding, the dates don't work, finances, or something entirely separate, communicating the main issue is key.
