I don't think paying him is going to avoid complications; it could actually create more depending on what he's like and the nature of your relationship and personalities.
I'm with the folks pushing for a contract to avoid a mess later rather than thinking paying him will solve potential problems.

Actually this is a very good point I had never thought of. I definately will have a contract / release with him but I didn't think it was fair for me to profit from photos and him get nothing. But looking at it from the other side, as you have done here, maybe he truly wants to do it as a nice gesture for me and me paying him would insult him. I'm going to have to talk with him more...I don't want there to be any problems on either side of things.
