If you have questions about how your wedding images may be used, please contact us before or during the booking process.

​

8. Children in Wedding Photographs

​

Children may naturally appear in photographs or videos taken at weddings. We do not provide services specifically aimed at children. Any images of children are generally created as part of documenting the wedding day and are handled with appropriate care. Where appropriate, we may rely on the instructions and permissions provided by the couple booking our services in relation to the use of wedding photographs.

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies will only be used after you have provided consent. You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie settings available on our website.

• Online service providers used to manage our website

• Payment providers where necessary to process payments

​

14. International Transfers

​

Some service providers we use may process personal information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law. This may include relying on an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as approved contractual protections.

​

15. How Long We Keep Your Information

​

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet our legal, accounting and business obligations. Different types of information may be kept for different periods.
 

For example:
 

• Wedding enquiries: We may retain enquiry information for a reasonable period after our communication with you ends, particularly where there is a possibility of future contact or booking.

• Client and booking information: We may retain information for as long as necessary to manage your booking and provide our services.

• Contracts and financial records: We may retain these for the period required by applicable accounting and tax requirements.

• Wedding photographs and films: We may retain copies for backup, delivery, customer service and business continuity purposes.

• Marketing or portfolio information: Where we have a legitimate basis to use selected images for portfolio or promotional purposes, we may retain those images for as long as reasonably necessary for that purpose, subject to the terms of your agreement with us.
   

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will take appropriate steps to delete it or securely dispose of it.

​

16. How We Protect Your Information

​

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no method of storing or transmitting information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
