Under law, it is the photographer who will own copyright on any photos taken, with the following exceptions a) if the photographer is an employee of the company the photos are taken for, or is an employee of a company instructed to take the photos, the photographer will be acting on behalf of the employer, and the company the photographer works for will own the copyright. b) If there is an agreement that assigns copyright to another party, which is in writing. In all other cases, the Crawley Wedding Photography photographer will retain the copyright. If the photographer has been paid for his work, the payment will be for the photographer’s time and typically an allocated number of prints/digital images. The copyright to the photos or digital files will remain with the photographer, and therefore any reproduction without permission would be an infringement of copyright. It is contrary to the Copyright Act and strictly illegal to copy or to allow being copied, any photographs or digital images/files (this includes downloading from our web site or those of our agents).
