Your Images


During your wedding/shoot:

Photographs are captured on up to two cameras (up to 8 SD memory cards).

After your wedding/shoot:

These photographs are copied to two hard drives for protection during the editing and processing period. Once edited, images will be stored on the Pixieset online gallery service where you can view and download them via an online password protected portal. I will then delete all files on my hard drives one calendar year after your wedding date. All SD cards will be cleared after the images have been provided to you by online gallery. I will contact you to advise when they need to deleted from Pixieset to make sure you have downloaded/printed copes from this service if you wish.

My main marketing tool is my photography, so I love to share my favourite images! I will share them on my social media profiles, in printed marketing, in competitions, and of course on my website. 

Your images may also be shared with other GDPR compliant blogs and vendors, with your explicit permission.

I will confirm you are happy for your images to be shared in this way.
