I have a very "standard" business contract on the front of the page. I tell the client... "this is the garble that says we are entering a contract"
On the second page I have ALL the details about the DAY that I consider important and I tell the client "this is the page I REALLY care about - because if it is not properly filled out I might now show up". This has things like
1. Bride prep location/time
2. time that photographer arrives to take pictures of bride prep
3. wedding location/time
4. time that photographer arrives to take pictures of wedding
5. reception time/location
It has lots of other little details too...
- Then there is a spot for client address/phone number (not required on front page)
- "requested pictures". Some people want to give me a whole shot list that will not fit on the contract - but I want ALL the "formal" family photo combinations I am to photograph on THIS form. Also, they often have something weird and specific (picture at sunset with fireworks going off).
The second page of the contract is vital to me because I do quite a few weddings in a year and I can't be counted on to remember ANY of those details. So usually a week or 2 before the wedding I pull out the contract to plan my logistics (what gear do I need, where do I need my assistant etc) and at that point I still have time to call the bride or wedding planner to get last minute things organized.
