What We Say
- Small 'legality requires it' note - for image
rights, we grant you full rights to use the images in your physical & online portfolio as well as in editorial articles. However, we do not grant use of any of the images for advertising/commercial usage. If you would like to use any image in advertising/ commercial use, just ask us. We just like to pass it by the bride & groom first before they are used in this manner.
