We collect information in three main ways:
Information you give us directly. When you fill out our contact or inquiry form, book a wedding package, or email us, we collect details such as your name, email address, phone number, wedding or event date, venue, partner's name, mailing address, and any details you share about your event.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we automatically collect basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring website. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 6).
Photographic and video content. As part of our services, we capture photographs and video footage of you, your partner, your wedding party, your guests, and your event. These images and recordings are part of the deliverables we provide to you and may also be used as described in Section 4.
We use the information we collect to:
Respond to inquiries and provide quotes; prepare and deliver wedding photography and videography services; communicate with you about your booking, payments, schedules, and deliverables; process payments through our payment processors; send occasional service updates or follow-up communications; improve our website and services; comply with legal obligations such as tax and accounting requirements; and protect our legal rights.
By engaging Silver Seas Weddings, you understand that we will photograph and record video at your event. The images and footage we capture are delivered to you as part of your contracted package.
We may also use a selection of images and video clips from your event for the following purposes, subject to the terms in your service contract and any model release you sign:
Showcasing our work in our online portfolio at silverseasweddings.com; sharing on our social media channels (such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest); submitting to wedding publications, blogs, or industry awards; using in printed marketing materials, sample albums, and educational content; and including in advertisements and promotional campaigns.
If you would prefer that images of you, your partner, or specific guests not be used for marketing purposes, please let us know in writing before your event or as soon as possible afterward. We will honor reasonable requests to remove identifiable images from our public-facing channels.
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to operate our business:
Service providers. We share information with trusted third parties who help us run our business, such as our gallery and proofing platforms (for example, Pixieset or Pic-Time), client management software, payment processors, email service providers, cloud storage providers, and our website hosting platform.
Second shooters and contractors. We may engage second photographers, videographers, or editors who will have limited access to event details and footage solely for the purpose of completing your project.
Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests.
Business transfers. If our business is sold or merged, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, analyze website traffic, and understand how visitors use the site. We may use:
Essential cookies that are necessary for the website to function; analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand site usage; and marketing or retargeting cookies if we run advertising campaigns.

Our website and services are not directed at children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children as customers or website visitors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information through our website, please contact us and we will delete it.
Children at events we photograph. Children, including infants, toddlers, and minors, are often present at weddings as flower girls, ring bearers, family members, or guests. They may appear in the photographs and video footage we capture as part of our services.
We rely on the contracting clients (the couple) to inform their guests, including parents and guardians of minors present, that professional photography and videography will take place at the event.
If you are a parent or guardian and you do not want images of your child to be used in our public-facing portfolio, social media, or marketing materials, please contact us at booking@silverseasweddings.com. We will work with you in good faith to remove or restrict the use of identifiable images of your child from our public channels. Please note that images already delivered to clients in private galleries cannot be retroactively altered.
For minors featured prominently in any marketing material (for example, as a primary subject of a styled portrait), we will obtain a separate written model release from the parent or guardian before publication.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information.
For residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our processing of your personal information, and the right to data portability. You may also withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
For residents of California (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion of your personal information, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell your personal information), and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at booking@silverseasweddings.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
We retain client information and event files for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with our legal and business obligations. Final delivered galleries are typically archived for a limited period after delivery, as outlined in your service contract. Marketing-use images may be retained indefinitely on our portfolio and social media unless you request removal.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including secure storage, encrypted backups, and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If you are located outside the country where we operate, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in another country. We take steps to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection.
Our website may contain links to other websites, such as venue partners, vendors, or social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be communicated through our website or by email where appropriate.
