If you book photography services, we process your personal data as necessary to prepare, perform, and administer the photography agreement, including communication, scheduling, image delivery, invoicing, and other contractual obligations. This processing is based on the performance of a contract.
We also process certain personal data to comply with legal obligations, such as maintaining accounting records and tax documentation required under Dutch law.

This may include online gallery providers used to securely deliver wedding photographs to clients.
These providers process personal data only as necessary to provide their services. We take reasonable steps to work with providers that offer appropriate data protection measures.
7. Wedding Photography and Image Use
As a documentary wedding photographer, we retain photographs created during weddings indefinitely as part of our professional archive. This allows us to preserve our body of work, maintain a record of completed assignments, and protect our artistic work.
Photographs are stored after the completion of the photography service using reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect them from loss, unauthorized access, or misuse.
If you would like to request the deletion of your wedding photographs or discuss any concerns regarding their storage or use, please contact us. Requests will be considered in accordance with applicable data protection laws and any agreements made in the photography contract.
The use of photographs for portfolio, website, publications, or promotional purposes is handled separately and is based on the agreements made with clients.

Selected images may be used on:
