We love working with amazing suppliers like you! Whether you crafted the bouquet, designed the cake, styled the venue, or anything in between – we’re all about sharing images from the weddings we capture, with the couple’s permission, of course. Here’s everything you need to know about using our photos.
Image Usage Guidelines
We want you to showcase your work with our images, but there are a few ground rules to keep things looking great and within the bounds of copyright law:
- No editing – Please don’t add any filters, retouching, text overlays, or selective color to our images. We spend time carefully editing each photo to match our signature style, and altering them in any way not only compromises the quality but also breaches copyright rules.
- Cropping – Cropping is fine for platforms like Instagram where a square format works best, but that’s the limit of editing.
How and When You Can Access the Images
We always provide images to the couple first, so there might be a bit of a wait, especially during our busiest months (May–November). It can take around 8–12 weeks to deliver the full gallery.
After the gallery is delivered to the couple and they’ve had a bit of time with the images, I’ll send them out to vendors whose email addresses I have. If you don’t receive any images within a few months of the wedding, feel free to reach out to me via email.
You’ll receive a zip folder with a curated selection of images, specially chosen for vendors. Please note that access to the full gallery isn’t provided, but these images will give you a beautiful overview to showcase our work together.
Copyright and Usage Rights
We retain the copyright for all our images. This means that while our couples get personal usage rights, commercial use is not included. If you’d like to use our photos, you’ll need to come directly to us.
Social Media & Website Usage (FREE)
You’re welcome to use our images on your website, blog, or social media as long as:
- You credit us by including a clickable link to Wildling Weddings on each page or post where the image appears.
- You don’t edit the image in any way.

Advertising, Print, and Commercial Usage (Paid)
If you’d like to use an image for print materials, any paid advertising, or commercial usage, please get in touch to discuss a quote. We’re happy to work with you on a bespoke agreement that fits your needs.
Changes to Image Usage
While we always check with couples about image usage, it’s important to note that couples have the right to change their mind at any time. If this happens, we’ll reach out to let you know, and you’ll need to remove any images immediately from your platforms.
If you have any questions about image usage or need high-resolution files for your website or marketing, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to help!
