Agreement tips for shooting friend's wedding

[ayobami]

I saw a post a while ago about the kinds of things one should agree in writing if shooting a friend's wedding. I have looked high and low in the forums and have found loads of interesting things about technique, general tips, whether you should or shouldn't, general contracts etc but not anything specific about what you should agree with them when you say yes.

One person had posted something along the lines of be sure to make sure they know you cannot guarantee 'professional' shots since you are an amateur but will do your best, will do what you can provided people and weather and lighting in general cooperates etc.


I've agreed to do a friend's wedding and while I have a standard contract I'm looking for what I could include on a more informal basis to protect myself and my friend should things go awry...


Any direction, advice or tips would be appreciated!


Thanks!

I don't know that what I'd include in a friend's contract would be any different from what I'd include in a standard contract... We don't guarantee the availability of any shots, we specify that the prices of any product not explicitly included under the terms of the contract are subject to change, we specify who has reprint rights - if any. We include a model release. Umm... We include a bunch of stuff, but it all applies across the board, regardless of who's booking. :)
