Your Right to Privacy - A Note from Lindsay

As a wedding photographer, one of my biggest honours is being trusted to document such an intimate, emotional, and personal day. I know how much thought goes into every part of your wedding – and I believe your photos deserve that same care and respect, especially when it comes to your privacy.

While many couples love seeing their wedding day shared and celebrated, I also understand that not everyone feels the same. Some couples prefer to keep their photos completely private, and that is 100% okay.

How I Handle Privacy

All of my wedding contracts include a model release, which gives me permission to share your photos on my website, social media, or other promotional materials. Being able to showcase my work publicly is a big part of how I connect with new couples, and I’m incredibly grateful when I’m trusted to do that.

That said, your comfort and boundaries are always more important, and I offer flexible privacy options to suit your needs:

Zero Share Policy

If you prefer that your wedding images are kept entirely private, I’m more than happy to honour that. Your gallery will be securely delivered, and none of your photos will be posted anywhere online or in print.

Selective Sharing

Some couples are comfortable with sharing their wedding images, but want to remain anonymous – and that is absolutely doable. You can choose:

-No photos of your faces (at all, or with the option to have faces included if from the side/head down etc.)

-No mention of your names or identifying details in captions or blog posts

-Keeping personal elements like seating charts, invitation suites, and name place cards private

-Focusing the shared images on details, landscapes, or moments from the side or behind

This way, your beautiful day can still be celebrated or published, without tying the images to you, your family, or your guests in any public way.

Full Sharing with Flexibility

If you’re comfortable with me sharing highlights from your wedding, thank you! I’ll always do so with care and thoughtfulness. Full sharing typically includes your images being shared with all of your vendors - along with preferences for how they can use the images. Generally speaking, I ask that your vendors only use images for social media and websites, but require any print usage to be cleared with me first. And if you change your mind later on? Just send me a note – I’ll take the images down, no questions asked.  Please keep in mind that once additional vendors have been given the rights to share your images it makes it much harder to revoke the images later on - but all of your vendors will be extremely grateful for permission to share their work!

There’s never an added cost for privacy. Whatever level of sharing you’re comfortable with, I’m here to support that fully. If you would like to remove the model release from your contract, just let me know at the time of signing! If anything has changed since you signed your contract & model release, please get in touch!

A Note on AI

Your images are never shared for AI training. I use Adobe software for editing, and while Adobe may anonymously source data from edited files, this is done without linking images to any individual. If you have any questions about this, I’m always happy to explain more.

Thank You for Trusting Me

Being able to share weddings publicly helps me grow my business and connect with new couples who resonate with my work – and I’m so thankful when I get to do that. But at the end of the day, your wedding is your story, and how it’s shared (or not shared) is entirely up to you.

Thank you for trusting me with one of the most meaningful days of your life. Whether your photos stay private or are shared with the world, it’s an honour I don’t take lightly.

If you ever want to talk more about privacy, or anything else, I’m always here.

Much Love,

Lindsay
