As a primary wedding photographer, hiring a second shooter is an incredible way to expand your coverage and deliver the best possible experience for your clients. But without a clear and legally sound contract, you risk miscommunications, copyright disputes, and unreliable second shooters who may not align with your brand’s professionalism.
That’s why having a well-structured Second Shooter Agreement is essential—and even more importantly, one that has been reviewed by a contract lawyer to ensure it fully protects your business.
Why You Need a Second Shooter Contract
A handshake agreement isn't enough. A clear, professional contract ensures that both you and your second shooter understand your roles, expectations, and responsibilities. This contract helps to:
✔ Set clear expectations on professionalism, conduct, and engagement with clients
✔ Protect your business by outlining non-solicitation and brand representation terms
✔ Define compensation, payment terms, and tax obligations
✔ Ensure proper image usage guidelines and crediting policies
✔ Require professional-grade equipment, including dual card slots for backup storage
✔ Prevent last-minute cancellations by requiring replacements if needed
✔ Ensure both you and your clients understand expectations before, during, and after the wedding day
