The Ultimate Videography Contract
One Iron-Clad Contract Customizable to Your Niche
Covers everything from filming to editing, cancellations to copyright — with clauses tailored to weddings, events, music, real estate, and more.
Clients don’t always understand what’s included in a shoot — or what happens when they cancel late, push for extra edits, or assume they own everything you film.
This Videography Contract makes sure everything's crystal clear. It clearly outlines your process, protects your footage, sets boundaries on cancellations, reshoots, & revisions — and ensures you’re not the victim of impossible expectations or scope creep.
🎬 Whether you shoot weddings, events, music videos, real estate, or commercial content — this contract is customizable to your niche and built to protect your time, work, and gear.
For just $149

-
By purchasing a contract you are not entitled to email communication, calls, (virtual or physical) meetings, or any other type of communication with Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe.
