Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a written agreement when I hire wedding & event photographers as contractors?

- What if I'm one of the wedding & event photographers being hired, not the one hiring?
- The same template works from either side - it covers scope of work, payment terms, the independent-contractor relationship, confidentiality, and ownership of work product regardless of which side you're on.
