Free Wedding Videographer
Service Agreement
One corrupted SD card or a 'Bridezilla' lawsuit will gut your bank account faster than a burst pipe. Without an airtight contract, you aren't an artist; you're just an uninsured target for every litigious relative at the reception.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always bake in a 'Limitation of Liability' clause that caps your financial exposure to the total fee of the job—not the price of a second wedding.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Wedding Videographer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the reception runs two hours late and they expect me to keep the cameras rolling for free?
You point to the 'Overtime' clause in your agreement that triggers a pre-set hourly rate the second the clock hits the limit; if it ain't in writing, you're a volunteer, not a professional.
How do I handle a client who refuses to pay the final balance until they see the finished video?
You don't start the engine until the tank is full; use your contract to mandate a 'Payment Schedule' where the final balance is due 30 days before the wedding, or you don't show up.
What happens if the couple hates the edit and demands a total redo from scratch?
You protect your time with a 'Revision Limit' clause that defines exactly how many tweaks they get for free; anything more is a Change Order that costs them extra, period.
