Indemnification Trust

PPA members often say they wouldn't dream of shooting a wedding or portrait session without the backing of the Indemnification Trust. Why? Because no matter how hard you try, sometimes things just go wrong. Hard drives crash. Equipment malfunctions, and event schedules unravel. When the worst happens, the Indemnification Trust is there to protect you. Only PPA provides this invaluable benefit that can save your reputation and your business.

Benefits

In addition to our Indemnification Trust, PPA also offer the following exclusive benefits:

  • Studio Management Services
  • PPA's Financial Benchmark Survey
  • Copyright and Government Affairs Staff
  • Equipment and business liability insurance options
