I absolutely love this contract and my only regret is not purchasing it sooner! I used other templates in the past when I first started my business, and as soon as I saw this one, I knew they are NOT all created equal. I appreciated the instructions that came with that helped me prep it for my clients to sign.... Super easy and straightforward! Thank you Paige for creating such a solid contract and for making my life SO much easier!
Previously, I'd been using a freebie contract template from the company that provides my CRM software: it was better than nothing, but compared to my new TLP contract, it might as well have been Swiss cheese with all the loopholes! As soon as I purchased and reviewed my TLP contract, I could see that it covered SOO many more scenarios than my old freebie contract did--and in wedding client relations, the devil is in the details. I feel way more protected, and now when I send contracts to my clients, I feel totally relaxed bc the contract is clear, professionally worded, and covers everything. I added some wording here and there, but honestly, other than filling in your info, client info, and event info, you don't need to do much to use these. Just save master copies in multiple places, duplicate for "working copies" and copies for each client event, and then import into your CRM or whatever you use to send paperwork to your clients. Very satisfied, will purchase from TLP again if I need additional contracts in the future.
I have two other contracts and a few clauses from Paige. My last wedding photography contract felt all over the place and while I felt it covered a lot, I wanted something legit. Paige's contract is very concise and covers everything! I feel protected and even more legit. It's the best investment you'll make for your business.
I was using the HoneyBook template plus a free couple clauses I found on the internet for almost an entire year, until I heard Paige say on a podcast that you should never do that 😂 I bought her contract the next day. I've known about TLP for a long time but never had the money to invest in them. But let me tell you, if you are unsure if you should go for it or not - DO IT. I'm a photographer, not a lawyer, and knowing that Paige has customized these contracts to us as creatives is incredible! Going from the HB template to this was an insane upgrade. She covers everything and more. I now feel so secure in my business and client experience after investing in this contract!
The wedding photography contract was a much needed upgrade to my business. I am glad to be legally protected now with a well written contract. The contract was laid out very well and easy to input to my client management system. Thanks!
