<p>Not knowing the language in your contract it's hard to reply. When I was running my wedding business, I had language in my contract that included that the client acknowledged and agreed to a statement that there were no promised results and that intended results were at least partially dependent upon the subjects being photographed. I also had language that limited my liability including any and all damages, attorney costs, and costs of litigation to the sum total amount of fees and deposits. I always did print orders as a separate transaction with a separate sales agreement, that had the same language.<br> My worst case scenario was realized with one client, which I refunded fully and while they threatened to file suit, the best they could sue for was what they had already paid me. They never followed through.<br> The Wedding Business is tough. I don't know the language of your contract or what state you are in, but your contract is your shield. I'd wait for their attorney to contact you in your situation but you may want to consider hiring an attorney and having that attorney review your contract to make it iron clad.</p>

<p>I think it is absolutely critical... photography is nothing more than visual storytelling and facial expression can be such an important part of the story...</p><div></div>

<p>supply and demand... pretty simple... Other lenses do the same job, prime lenses are for those willing to specialize and invest in them... A smaller group for sure...</p>

<p>Ted is right.... no year required...</p>

<p>I think you have to focus, like other commenters have said, on production and streamlining... Personally, I'd go with a couple of flat rate packages depending upon property size/type then work on your workflow from start to finish to maximize your time...</p>
