Your photos, your choice: understanding consent and control in wedding photography
As a wedding photographer, capturing your special day is an honor, and I deeply value the trust you place in me. But I know that sharing your photos, whether on my website or social media, can sometimes feel like stepping into the unknown.
You might wonder, “If I say yes to sharing my photos, do I lose control over what happens to them?” The answer is no! Thanks to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the ultimate say over your images—even after you’ve given consent. Let me walk you through how this works and why your rights are at the heart of my photography philosophy.
What Is GDPR, and Why Does It Matter?
The GDPR is an EU regulation designed to protect your personal data, and photos are no exception. When you hire me as your wedding photographer, I handle your images with care and in full compliance with GDPR standards.
Under GDPR, I need your explicit consent to use and share your photos. This means you’re in control from the start—you decide if and where your photos are shared.
The Right to Change Your Mind: “Right to Erasure”
One of the key protections under GDPR is the Right to Erasure, also known as the “right to be forgotten.” This means that:
- You Can Withdraw Consent at Any Time: Even if you’ve said “yes” to sharing your photos, you can change your mind later.
- You Can Request Deletion: If you no longer want your photos on my website or social media, I’ll remove them. Simple as that.
- Special Protection for Minors: If a minor is in the photos, the right to erasure becomes even more important, ensuring their privacy is safeguarded.
When you exercise this right, I will:
- Take down your photos from any platform where they were published.
- Notify you once the request has been fully processed.
Why I Value Your Control Over Your Photos
Sharing your wedding photos is something I love because it lets me show the magic of your day and inspire other couples. But I understand that not everyone feels comfortable having their private moments online.
Your wedding day is one of the most personal events of your life, and I want you to feel safe and respected. That’s why I make it easy for you to:
- Choose where your photos are shared (if at all).
- Change your mind without any hassle.
When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re gaining a partner who respects your wishes every step of the way.
How to Make Informed Choices About Photo Sharing
Here’s how I make sure your rights are clear and respected:
- Transparent Consent Forms: Before I share any photos, I’ll ask for your explicit permission. You’ll know exactly where your images will appear.
- No Pressure, Ever: Saying “no” to sharing your photos is 100% okay! It won’t affect how I approach your wedding day or the level of care I bring to my work.
- Support If You Change Your Mind: If you decide later that you’d like your photos removed, just let me know, and I’ll handle the rest.
Story from My Experience: It’s Okay to Be Unsure
Let me share something that happens quite often. When I sit down with couples to sign the contract, many of them choose not to allow their photos to be shared on social media or my website. And honestly, I completely understand! One of the most common worries I hear is, “What if I don’t look good in the photos?”
But here’s what’s so lovely: after the wedding, when couples see their gallery and realize just how stunning their photos turned out, many of them come back to me and say, “You can share these if you’d like!”
This shift is totally natural. Your wedding day is deeply personal, and it’s only after seeing how beautifully your story has been captured that you might feel proud to share it with the world. That said, agreeing to share your photos doesn’t mean you give up control.
You always have the right to:
- Decide which specific photos can be shared (and which ones stay private).
- Change your mind at any point—whether it’s days, months, or years later.
It’s my job to ensure that every photo I share reflects your best moments in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
At the end of the day, your wedding photos are yours, and you deserve to feel confident in how they’re handled. Whether you choose to share them or keep them private, your decision is what matters most.
If you have any questions about your rights or my approach to handling your images, feel free to reach out! Let’s make sure your wedding photography experience is as comfortable and joyful as the day itself.
