Paperwork that protects a Rexburg shoot
- Address cancellations, rescheduling, and weather in the contract, with retainer terms that both sides understand.
- Include a limitation of liability tied to the fees paid, so a lost card or equipment failure does not become a claim for the whole cost of the event.
- Explain your backup practice (dual card slots, same-day copies) in the contract, and describe what you will do if files are lost anyway.
- Name a second shooter or assistant in the contract if one will attend, and confirm whether they are your employee or a contractor.
Contracts and coverage work together: the contract sets expectations, and the policy responds when something goes wrong anyway.
