Wedding Content Creator Services Agreement

The wedding content creator's contract — built for the person with the iPhone, not the cinema rig. If you capture candid, social-first video of someone's wedding day and hand back share-ready clips and a recap reel, this is the agreement that makes the whole thing official: what you're delivering, when, what it costs, who owns it, and what happens if the day goes sideways. It's written for how content creation actually works — vertical video, a 72-hour recap reel, a one-year download window, no raw footage, and clear lines between your coverage and the photographer's. It says out loud that you are not the photographer or videographer (so nobody's expectations get crossed), locks in your 50% non-refundable retainer, and spells out travel, cancellations, rescheduling, and the music/likeness/permissions issues that trip creators up. Attorney-approved, fill-in-the-blank, and yours to send today. Peace of mind, in one document. Who's This For? Wedding and event content creators who shoot candid, social-media-first video on a phone or lightweight gear — the “content creator” now sitting alongside the photographer and videographer at weddings. Whether you're a solo creator, adding content creation to a studio, or booking your first paid wedding, this is the standalone agreement between you and the couple. (Photographers adding content creation onto an existing photography contract want the Content Creation Services Addendum instead.) How It Works Instant digital download — a PDF with a link to an editable Google Doc. Make a copy, then fill in the blanks: your name, the couple, the date, coverage hours, your fee and retainer. Follow the attorney-approved instructions to put it into practice — copy, paste, send. Signed before you shoot. Attorney-approved template, not legal advice.
