Privacy Policy and Copyright

Ok, here is the legal stuff……….

Copyright

All the edited photographs displayed on this site are copyright of Toby Lowe Photography and are protected under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. For anyone who has booked me the terms of usage are outlined in your contract.
For wedding clients you have limited reproduction rights – you can print, share and love your photos. But you cannot use them commercially.

For commercial usage, your terms of use and reproduction will be agreed at booking.

If you are a wedding supplier and have been provided copies of my images by a client and wish to use them for marketing, please contact me. I will usually just ask for a credit when used (it’s great marketing for me). However, just using them without seeking permission is a bad thing and is likely to result in me losing my normally cool laid back demeanour. Copyright matters to me and all other photographers. Use of images without seeking permission is essentially theft. Please don’t do it.

3. Third Party: If you purchase a product or service from me using an online payment method, your card information is not held by me but it is collected by a third party payment processor (stripe.com) who specialise in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. The only information I receive from the third party are notifications that a transaction has taken place, with the name of the payee, the date and the amount of the transaction.
