At Raams Photography, your privacy matters. I’m a wedding photographer based in the UK, and I capture, edit, and deliver beautiful visual stories of weddings and related events. This policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your data in line with UK GDPR regulations.
When you interact with me—through my website, email, wedding fairs, or bookings—I may collect:
Your name & your partner’s name
Email address
Phone number
Postal address (for contracts)
Wedding date and venues
Getting-ready address on the wedding day
Names and contact details of key wedding party members (e.g. bridesmaids, best man)
Details of suppliers involved
Photos and videos taken on the day
Website usage data (via cookies and analytics tools)
3. How I Collect Your Data
I collect your data in a few different ways:
Directly from you: When you complete my contact form, email me, or provide details during our conversations or meetings.
Website interaction: I use cookies and analytics tools to understand how people use my site.
4. Why I Collect It (How I Use Your Data)
Your data helps me deliver the best experience possible and to:
Respond to enquiries and confirm availability
Plan and photograph your wedding
Contact key people on the day if needed (so you don’t have to stress!)
Prepare contracts and invoices
Deliver galleries and finished products
Share your wedding images on my website or social media (only with your permission)
Keep internal records and backups
I do not use your data for marketing unless you’ve explicitly opted in. And I definitely don’t sell your data – not even if times get tough!
5. Legal Grounds for Processing Your Data
I only process your data under lawful bases, including:
Contract – to deliver the services you’ve booked
Consent – for sharing images or promotional use (you can withdraw consent at any time)
Legitimate interest – to run my business efficiently and safely
Legal obligation – to meet accounting or legal requirements
6. Guest Consent & Photos
During your wedding, I aim to photograph the event naturally and respectfully. I work on:
Assumed consent for documentary-style coverage
Verbal consent for organised or posed shots
Parental consent for children in photos
Express consent for any image intended for sharing beyond private galleries
Guests can later withdraw consent. Just drop me a message (a simple text will do), and I’ll remove the image—no questions asked.
7. Sharing Your Data
I will never sell or rent your personal information. I may share it with:
Trusted service providers (e.g. gallery platforms, cloud storage, email software)
Payment processors like Stripe or PayPal
Legal bodies when required by law
All providers follow strict data protection requirements.
8. How Long I Keep Your Data
Enquiries: Up to 12 months after our last contact
Client details & photos: Up to 7 years (for business records and future support)
Online photos: Until you ask for them to be removed
I also regularly delete unused or outdated contact details and emails.
9. Your Rights Under GDPR
You have rights over your personal data. These include:
Right to access and review your data
Right to correct inaccurate details
Right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”)
Right to restrict or object to processing
Right to data portability
Right to withdraw consent at any time
Just contact me, and I’ll make it happen—free of charge.
10. Cookies & Website Data
My website uses cookies to provide a better browsing experience and track anonymous usage data. You can adjust your cookie settings in your browser. For more info, please check the [Cookie Policy] (link if available).
11. Data Security
I take your data security seriously. Information is stored on:
A password-protected PC and phone
A limited backup on my admin assistant’s phone (aka my very organised wife)
A printed file stored securely at home in my office drawer (in case of tech fails)
I use secure email, storage, and encrypted platforms where possible to protect your data.
12. Promotional Emails
I’m not into pushy marketing. I only email you if:
You’ve made an enquiry
You’re a current client with relevant updates
You’ve opted in for future promotions (if I ever get around to doing them!)
13. Photo Removal Requests
You or your guests can request removal of any images from my website, blog, or social media. I will:
Fully remove the image (no awkward face blurring)
Do this promptly, without hassle
Never post anything embarrassing or unflattering without your consent (drunk dancefloor shots included!)
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any updates will be published on my website with a revised “Last Updated” date. Please check back occasionally.
