Your profession, your project, your protection.

Create starts with core covers of public liability or equipment insurance. You can then choose to add on extras to suit you.

 

Public liability insurance

Starting from £84* a year for £1m cover
Project involving people? Protect those around you with up to £5m public liability cover. Complaints, court fees and compensation claims can be expensive and time consuming, so it is a good idea to get cover if you’re working with the public. Some businesses, events and clients may even request it as part of working with them.
 
Professional indemnity insurance protects you against unhappy clients. If your work, product or advice has not met their expectations, a client may raise a claim against you. A professional indemnity policy would cover you for legal expenses, court fees and any compensation costs that may arise, subject to terms and conditions of your policy.
 
 
 
Equipment insurance covers your important kit, tools and devices against theft, loss and accidents. So, if you accidentally leave your tripod on a train or have a mishap with your make up kit, it's a good idea to insure the things you need to do your job.
 
If you employ other people to work on your projects, you should consider employers’ liability. Whether you employ a camera assistant or makeup artist, if you have hired them then you have a responsibility for their safety at work. Employers’ liability insurance protects your business, for example, if an employee files a claim against you because they were injured or have a dispute as a result of working for you.

Do wedding photographers need insurance?

If you have any employees then it is a legal requirement to have Employers’ Liability insurance – in this case, ‘employees’ can mean paid, full-time staff as well as helpers, unpaid volunteers, temporary workers, and those on work experience.

It is also recommended that wedding photographers have some form of public liability insurance in place, as this can cover you and your business against any property damage or injury you may cause while working.

Equipment insurance should also be a consideration for wedding photographers. With a lot of expensive photography equipment – cameras, lenses, lights, bags, stands – as well as the smartphone, tablet and laptop you use to run your business and edit your photos, you could be stuck with a huge bill if something were to happen to your kit.

With Create you can insure up to £50k of equipment and choose to cover it for a few days, weeks, months or the full year.

Another form of insurance that wedding photographers should consider is professional indemnity insurance. This defends you against legal claims for negligence, breach of contract/confidentiality, libel and slander, so it can be very important in helping to maintain your reputation.
