Depending on what we are doing, we may rely on the following lawful bases:
Legitimate interests
We may use legitimate interests to respond to enquiries, communicate with potential clients, manage our business and improve our services, where doing so is necessary and does not unfairly override your privacy rights.
Contract
Where you book High & Wild Weddings, we process your personal information where it is necessary to enter into or perform our contract with you.
Legal obligation
We may process certain information where we are legally required to do so, for example for accounting, tax or other legal requirements.
Consent
Where we rely on your consent, such as for certain marketing communications or particular uses of photographs for promotional purposes, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
Withdrawing consent will not affect any processing that took place before you withdrew it.
4. Wedding photographs and images
As a wedding photographer, I create and process photographs containing identifiable individuals, including couples, wedding guests and other people attending a wedding.
Photographs are created as part of the photography service you have booked.
We may need to store and process photographs in order to:
-
Provide your photography service
-
Edit and deliver your photographs
-
Create albums, prints or other products
-
Maintain appropriate backups
-
Deal with customer enquiries or requests
-
Meet contractual, legal or insurance requirements
We may also wish to use selected wedding photographs for our website, social media, advertising, portfolio, competitions, publications or other promotional purposes.
Where we use identifiable photographs for promotional purposes, we will do so on an appropriate lawful basis and, where consent is required, will obtain that consent.
If you have concerns about a particular image being used for promotional purposes, please contact us.
5. Who we share your information with
We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Album, print and product suppliers

Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers
-
Government, regulatory or law enforcement bodies where we are legally required to do so
Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data protection and security measures are in place.
6. Facebook and Instagram
If you submit an enquiry through Facebook or Instagram, your information may be collected by Meta and provided to High & Wild Weddings through the relevant lead-generation service.
We use the information we receive to respond to your enquiry and discuss your wedding photography requirements.
Meta may process your information separately under its own privacy policies and terms.
You should review Meta's privacy information for details of how Meta processes personal data.
7. How long we keep your information
We only keep personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
For example:
-
Wedding enquiries that do not result in a booking may be retained for a reasonable period so that we can respond to follow-up questions and maintain appropriate business records.
-
Information relating to booked weddings will normally be retained for as long as necessary to provide the service and for a reasonable period afterwards for accounting, legal, insurance, dispute-resolution and business-record purposes.
-
Financial and accounting records will be retained for the periods required by applicable law.
-
Photographs may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the photography service, maintain agreed backups and meet contractual, legal or business requirements.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it.
8. Keeping your information secure
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. International data transfers
Some of the organisations we use to provide our services may process personal information outside the UK.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable UK data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
10. Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have rights including:
-
The right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
