Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, the photographer retains the copyright, while the client receives a license to use the photos for personal use. Commercial use requires a specific license.
Delivery timelines vary but typically range from 2-8 weeks depending on the type of shoot. Wedding photos may take 6-12 weeks due to the volume of images requiring editing.
The contract should specify that if the photographer cannot fulfill obligations, they must provide a suitable replacement photographer or issue a full refund, including any deposits paid.
Most contracts allow personal social media sharing with proper photographer credit. Commercial use, publication, or resale typically requires additional licensing and may incur fees.
