Too harsh

I spent a lot of money on this contract and in the end the wording just seems crazy. Enough to scare away any client. First person I sent it to instantly complained and refused to sign it. I ended up spending some time removing about 50% of what was in the contract to make it more appropriate for my business. After that, I like what is left. Its covers everything yes, but it's a bit overboard in my opinion.

Amazing and Rhorough

I love the contract templates I get from The Legal Paige. I've had my eye on these templates for a while, and the Videography contract did not disappoint. There are so many clauses that I had not even thought about in this template, and the ability to customize it is amazing! You cannot go wrong with a Legal Paige contract template!

Well worth the investment

I would highly recommend this contract to any videographer looking to have a solid legal standing for their wedding clients. It is well worth the investment to save yourself the time. I've had family members and clients alike, who are lawyers, tell me this was one of the most solid contracts they came across while planning their wedding. It was a no brainer purchase for me and so easy to implement.
