I LOVE The Legal Paige and all of her products! Her Wedding Contract is super in-depth and meticulously detailed. She has clauses in her contract(s) that I didn't even know I needed to think about, and I sleep SO well at night knowing that both my clients and I are covered and protected. I already have recommended The Legal Paige to several photographers and will continue recommending TLP to other photogs!
