I am a wedding photographer and I need a clause in my contract that will require the bride and groom to spend a minimum (at least 30 minutes) amount of time with me for couple shots. Any suggestions on wording or example contracts with a similar clause?

First off, I am not a lawyer but do work in a law office and I am also a fellow photographer. I would suggest a clause like
PERFORMANCE
Bride and Groom agree that the photographer cannot be held responsible for shots not taken or missed during the wedding and reception. However, Bride and groom agree to allow photographer a minimum of 30 minutes post ceremony to allow quality couples shots before the reception ceremony begins. Failure of the bride and from to make concession for the photographer to take pictures shall not be the liability of the photographer and considered an interruption of performance.
Hope this helps. Again, I am NOT a lawyer :)
