Where is the best place to go for drinks..?

Tell you what, that's where the word 'Deposit' came in. Print it and asked them to sign up along with a modest amount for reservation of the date incase of changed of minds! Let them feel a sting!

How long have you guys been doing this??

so far my sixth sense are quite ok.......

but i do write out a contract on if they want too shoot. my rates are $1000 a day and above. so if they are cheapo, they will not look for me. most of my clientele are good pay master.

so i will not do anything less than that for commercial shoots. so el cheapo clients will look for el cheapo photographers!!!! keke........

as for weddings, 50% of the payment will be paid to me prior to the shoot. this is to make sure they do not back out last minute. keke.......

wah u collect 50%.. i collect only $200.. which is LESS than 50% .. ahhaha (in case anyone was wondering...)

maybe i should up to 50% too..

u get any customers "complain" about such a (non-refundable) deposit?

shooting weddings for two years already. usually, like pro image, we don't get down to printing out documents, both sign, one copy each. and i guess (lucky me!) i've never had major problems before when customer refuses payment becos of disputes. again, there hasn't been any disputes that i can even remember, so i guess either i'm very lucky, or my work is very precise to wat they expect!

I have roughly two years of full time experience behind me too but my freelancer days are much longer. Don't count on your luck that you won't meet that kind of clients in future. Contract works both ways. It might not actually work in real world but there's a psychological assurance that you are not going to jump bail(some freelancer didn't turn up last minute during wedding/ROM) and they not gonna do likewise to you too.

wei some minors in here........just lucky and i know the luck will run out one day. so now it's time to draft out a 10 page contract!!!!! so the couple will think 10 times on whether to get married and hire a photographer. i have encounter before only one el cheapo couple who wants to pay only $250....

after much PR work, i convince them to take my irristable package. hehe...as i gave them a deal they could not refuse. at the end of the day they paid about $1,400. so that was the worst case scenerio so far............

10 pages? I call Wedding Proposition Super Budget Breakdown! Perhaps the couple will skip the process of wedding and go straight to cohibiting and child rearing stage! :bsmilie:
