  • Your name
  • Email address and telephone number
  • Wedding date and venue
  • Details you choose to share about your wedding
  • If you book our services, we may also collect booking, payment and other information needed to provide your wedding photography.

Our legal basis for using your information


We process personal information where necessary to respond to requests before entering into a contract, fulfil our contracts, comply with legal obligations or pursue legitimate business interests where appropriate. Where consent is required, we will ask for it.


Photography and images


Photographs taken during weddings and other photography sessions are handled in accordance with our booking agreement. Dave Burgess Photography retains copyright as set out in our contract.

We may feature photographs in our portfolio, on our website or on social media to showcase our work. We also discuss the use of photographs with our clients and respect their privacy preferences.


Sharing your information


We may use trusted service providers, including website hosting, online galleries, payment services and communication platforms, to help operate our business.

We only share personal information where necessary and appropriate safeguards apply.

Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where required, we use appropriate protections for international transfers.


We use Pixieset to host our website and provide private online photography galleries to our clients. Relevant personal information and photographs may be processed and stored through Pixieset to help us deliver our services. We may also use other trusted service providers where necessary to operate our business.


How long we keep your information


Wedding photography galleries are normally available through Pixieset for at least three years after delivery, and may remain available for longer.

Other personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to manage enquiries, provide our services and meet legal or accounting requirements. We periodically review what we retain.


Your rights


Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict the use of your personal information, object to certain processing, or request data portability.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.
