Just for fun.

What would you like to put in there but don't, for obvious reasons? Here's one that occurred to me

"We will cover your wedding up to, but not including, the playing of 'Dancing Queen' by Abba"

"the bridesmaids shall disregard prior training regarding posing for group shots"

This will be under the 'no traditional crap' heading.

I will NOT request outdoor pictures at noon.

Or how about my new favorite:

I will NOT demand the photographer take only frontal shots (and demand no profile shots because I'm self conscious of my nose!)

If the bride does not provide said photographer with ample Tylenol, Advil, or the pain reliever of the photographer's choice, said photographer may opt out of the wedding. Bride understands that said photographer was hired to document the day, not become a paid professional (such as marital counselor, psychologist, etc.) to handle your drama.

Love this thread. I would have a 10 page contract easy.

"agree to read my contract and put it in a safe place so that I won't loose it"
"agree to email or call photographer no more than once in a two week period".
"agree to provide special parking for photographer at the reception".

no more than one song will be played for the money dance- if it goes longer, the additional collections will be forfeited to the photographer.

"the photographer reserves the right to pull the plug or hijack the microphone from the DJ or any other attendee that goes on into uncomfortable old memories in a drunken stupor whilst "open mic" time is made available to the crowd after the best man's toast"

Para 204B: "If client expects the photographer to actually show up for the reception, CLEAR directions to the venue, including the ACTUAL name of the place (plus two contact phone numbers), are required. Vague descriptions such as 'it's down near where the old tire store used to be, the one that burned 5 years ago, and it's either red brick or maybe has a lighted sign out front' WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED."
Best,
Andy
