I am in the middle of booking my photographer and she sent me a contract for us to sign and there was a place for her to sign, but she didn't actually sign it. She just typed in her name and the date. Did your vendors do the same? I'm just worried if something bad happens, she could say it's not a legitimiate contract because she never signed it. I emailed her and asked her to sign it and fax it and have yet to hear back from her. I wanted to see if anyone else had similar experiences or not.
