Hey there! I know how important your privacy is, so I want to be completely upfront about how I handle your personal details. This is a simple guide to what information I collect, why I need it, and how I keep it safe.
What Information Do I Collect?
When you enquire about or book a wedding with me, I may ask for:
Your name, email, and phone number – so I can chat with you about your wedding plans.
Your wedding date and venue – so I know where and when to turn up.
Any details you share about your wedding day, such as schedules or special requests.
Payment details if you go ahead with a booking (but don’t worry, I never store card details myself).
Why Do I Need Your Information? (Legal Basis for Processing)
Under UK GDPR, I process your personal data based on:
Contract – I need this information to provide my photography services to you.
Legitimate Interest – Basic communication to arrange your booking.
Consent – If you agree to let me share your wedding photos on my website or social media.
How Do I Keep Your Info Safe?
Your data is stored securely, and I take all reasonable precautions to protect it. I never sell or share your information with third parties unless necessary—this may include:
Online gallery providers (so you can view and download your images).
Professional print labs (if you order prints or albums).
These third-party providers have their own GDPR-compliant privacy policies in place.
How Long Do I Keep Your Info?
I store wedding photos indefinitely.
Contact details are kept for as long as necessary to complete your booking and any follow-ups.
If you ever want me to delete your information, just ask.
Sharing Your Photos – Your Choice
I love sharing the beautiful moments I capture, but I respect your privacy. I will only post your wedding images online (website, social media, portfolio) if you give me clear consent.
How to Give Consent: When you book, I’ll send you a quick form where you can confirm whether you're happy for me to share your images.
Changing Your Mind? No problem. Just email me anytime, and I’ll remove them.
Your Rights Under GDPR
You have the right to:
Request a copy of any personal data I hold about you.
Ask me to correct or update any incorrect information.
Ask me to delete your data if you no longer want me to store it.
Withdraw your consent for social media sharing at any time.
Lodge a complaint if you believe your data is being misused.
If you have any concerns, you can contact me directly, and if you're still unhappy, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.
