Hello there, talented wedding supplier, you!

 

Thanks for getting in touch. If you're reading this, no doubt you sent me a DM/email regarding using images from a wedding that we may have worked together at. I trust you understand the need for a central place to deal with these requests as I can have up to 20 emails/messages, per wedding, asking for images! That’s a lot of admin for one person - especially in peak season.

So, if we've worked together at a wedding and you're interested in using some of the images for your marketing then keep on reading.

I’m really pleased that you loved my photographs so much that you’d like to use them to promote your business! I’m really happy for suppliers to use my images and I absolutely understand how useful great quality images from real weddings can be. However, there are a few things I need to clarify first.

 

Copyright

I retain the copyright of my images and my couples have a personal use license. This does not cover the commercial use of the images. This means if you'd like to use the images for your marketing then you need to have my permission. I can offer images for a nominal fee or, if you agree to the conditions set out, I can offer them for free. Whichever option suits you best, I still retain the copyright of the image as per U.K. law.

Purchasing Images

If you'd like to use the images in print or advertising or if you want to use the images online without having to credit me as the photographer the cost is £20 per image. For 5 or more images I offer a discount so the bigger the batch of images you'd like to purchase, the lower the cost-per-image.

You will receive both the high resolution (perfect for printing) and low resolution (perfect for online) per image purchased.

You'll have access to the gallery and can choose which images you would like.

Please note, due to copyright laws even when purchasing you will not be able to edit the images in any way. This includes things such as converting to black and white, applying Instagram filters, sharpening and cropping (although cropping to a square on Instagram is absolutely fine!).

Free Images

I know most of the time you just want some decent content for social media, blogs or on your websites where you would be more than happy to credit me. In this case, I am all for sharing! I am a big believer in small business support. I know you've worked just as hard for the client as I have and images can really help you to grow your business. So, I have a really easy free option for using the images which cover these common uses.

Provided you can place a linked credit on the page on which the image is used, and as long as you do not edit the image in any way, you can use them for free. I will let you make your selection of 5 images from the gallery instead of me guessing which you would like.

Getting the Pics

  • Images cannot be released to suppliers before they are delivered to the couple. Couples receive their gallery usually between 6-12 weeks after their day, depending on peak/off-peak season. My sneak peeks that I deliver are for the couple to enjoy though I do always tag suppliers if the couple has supplied me with the list. Feel free to share these in your stories but please do not request a copy of them within 24-72 hours of the wedding day.

  • Between June and October, my priority is my client. It may take a little longer to deal with your request.

  • Our couples must have agreed to you using their images, so please make sure you’ve got permission from them before you seek permission from me.

  • A polite reminder that screenshotting images and using them without permission, even if credited, isn’t cool (and is actually illegal). Legal action may be pursued if this happens.
