When you book a wedding it is automatically assumed the bride and groom are your client right? Wrong. Sort of. It is important to understand who the actual [legal] client is so that your business keeps walking the straight and narrow by delivering to whom you owe a responsibility. Hang with me through this as I will get past the legalese but it is great to have these terms outlined, defined and understand how they impact your photography business in case this situation ever arises.

In a lot of the information I share with photographers – I assure them that I have literally been through it all, good and bad. I’m so fortunate that throughout my 10-year career there have been great moments like working with celebrity clients, photographing an exclusive wedding at the top of the Philadelphia Art Museum (yo Rocky!), and meeting the most amazing people who have become some of my best friends. And of course with any job with all the positives, there are always a few negatives.
