Electronic signature for photographers and videographers
Lock the booking the day the client says yes: send the contract by WhatsApp, they sign from their phone and pay the deposit by card without leaving the screen. You get the signed PDF, the receipt and the date blocked.
What you sign
- Event photography contract Wedding, christening or corporate event: date, hours of coverage, deliverables, deadlines and cancellation policy.
- Accepted quote A signed quote counts as acceptance and avoids the "I thought the album was included".
- Model or image release To use the photos on your website, social media or portfolio you need written consent from the people pictured.
- Parental consent for minors Schools, ceremonies or family sessions: signed by a parent or guardian.
- Second shooter agreement What they cover, what they earn and who owns the images.

- The client signs and pays from their phone They read, sign with a finger and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You both receive the signed contract and the receipt. The date is booked.
Why it fits

Proof of signature
Every document carries a timestamp, an audit trail and an optional certificate. If a cancellation is disputed, you have the evidence.
Legal validity
A photography services contract signed with a simple electronic signature is valid across the EU (eIDAS Regulation, art. 25), in the UK and in the US (ESIGN Act and UETA). An image release can be signed the same way: state who consents, for which uses, media and duration, and make sure the person accepts it expressly. For minors, a parent or legal guardian signs.
With Pro: unlimited sends, several signers, reminders, your logo and name on every send, and documents kept for 12 months. €4.99/month, cancel anytime. Create your account to try it free for 7 days — without Pro you still get 3 free sends a month.
Frequently asked questions
Can I collect the wedding deposit when the contract is signed?
Yes. When sending, tick "Collect a deposit on signing", enter the amount and the client pays by card right after signing. The money goes to your Stripe account and our fee is 1%.
Is an image release signed on a phone valid?
Yes, as long as the text is clear about the uses (website, social media, contests, advertising) and the person signs it expressly. The audit trail stores the date, time and IP address.
What if I already have my own contract as a PDF?
Upload it as is, with your logo and clauses, mark where each party signs and save it as a company template to reuse on every booking.
How many contracts can I send for free?
Three sends a month at no cost. With Pro (€4.99/month) they are unlimited, with automatic reminders, your logo in the emails and documents kept for 12 months.
