My fiance talked me into shooting photos for a bridal fair runway show that her work was putting on.  The models and businesses represented in the show want copies of the images and I need to find a legal release form which gives them limited right of use and stresses my copyright.

I tried Findlaw and a few other contract related sites and couldn't find anything specific to my needs (or close enough for me to modify).  Any recommendations?

I've seen wedding/portrait photographers advertise that they provide such a release to their clients, but I couldn't find any examples.

Hmmm... is this a double post, I tried to insert a Word file and it wouldn't let me post, so I copied here and when I hit post the message said you already posted this... couldn't see it so trying to remember what I said.

This was for some kids to make prints and post to Facebook.  It is more wordy than most, but I didn't want them to post full rez photos and I didn't want them using the photos in their marketing for upcoming events.   I hope this helps.

Thanks, that's MUCH LESS wordy than what I came up with.  I bought something on a lawyer's web site that was 11 pages and I whittled it down to 4 pages making sure to include everything I wanted to cover.  My lawyer wanted to charge me $600 to custom write something, but he'll review this for $100 and I only paid $15 online.

If you don't mind, I'm gonna copy yours as well for a "simple eula" for situations similar to what you describe.
