COMMERCIAL COPYRIGHT & LICENSING

WEDDING & EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY COPYRIGHT / IMAGE USE

All photographs and digital images created by Photos by Day / Desiree Day Photography are protected under United States Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S. Code). The photographer retains full copyright ownership of all images at all times.

The Client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable personal-use license for the delivered edited images. This license allows the Client to download, print, share, and post images for personal use and personal social media accounts.

The Client may not:

• Sell images for profit

• Edit, alter, heavily crop, or apply filters to images

• Submit images to vendors, publications, blogs, magazines, or businesses for promotional or commercial use without written permission

• Provide images to other vendors for advertising purposes without licensing approval

All commercial, vendor, publication, advertising, promotional, and third-party usage rights remain exclusively with the photographer unless separately licensed in writing.

The Client understands that venues, planners, florists, DJs, makeup artists, bakeries, sponsors, and other vendors do not automatically receive permission to use images commercially or for advertising. Vendor usage requires separate licensing approval from the photographer.

The photographer reserves the right to use images from the event for portfolio display, website use, social media, advertising, studio samples, competitions, publication, and professional promotion unless otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the event date.

Raw/unedited files are not included and remain the sole property of the photographer.
