There is a special provision in the Copyright Act for photographs commissioned for a private or domestic purpose, where there is no agreement between the photographer and the client about who owns copyright section 35 5.
There are also special provisions for works made for, or first published by, a government Commonwealth, State or Territory. The creator of the work has the exclusive legal rights to it for a number of years.
Books, paintings, sculptures, music, films, television, and radio broadcasts, and even computer software is all protected. Basically copyright protects the creative sector and the creators themselves.
Copyright protection is an automatic thing. As soon as your photographer snaps a photo of you on your big day, they technically own the legal rights to that image. Every photographer has their own way of allowing you access to the images.
This leads us on to the next step. As we mentioned, your photographer will own the legal copyright to your images unless they give the rights to you. They are also unable to make any more money on the photographs through advertising. This includes displaying the photographs as a representation of their work on their website or any other form of advertising they choose. It can also be very costly!
So, read through your contract and have a discussion with your photographer. The photographer has the freedom to use the images as they please because they own the rights to them. However, you might not want the images of your special day being used without your knowing. I strongly believe that you have the ethical, if not the legal rights over what happens to the photographs. They are of a personal and private time and you should have the choice for the pictures to be in the public domain or not.
So your wedding day is over. Photographers typically deliver around wedding photographs. This might seem like a lot but remember, they were snapping away during all of the little moments even you missed. We live in a digital age and this is reflected in the way you receive your images. Every photographer is different.
It's also a moment your other half doesn't get to see, so capture it on camera to make sure they can see just how excited you were! After this point you could possibly break into excited tears too - so it's a good time to have a photo taken. There's nothing more joyful than an exit shot from the ceremony - you finally did it!
You got married! And now the fun can begin with a massive party. Confetti shots should be over the top - more is more. And I'm talking about the smiles on your faces as well as the confetti itself. If you need confetti ideas, we have 12 listed in this article and all biodegradable of course. Sadly you'll probably only get a week or so of life from a fresh flower bouquet, so make sure you have lots of lovely images of it from all angles. There is usually a 'back' as well, so make sure you ask your florist or assign a BM to do so which way it should be held.
Often most of the work in planning your wedding culminates in what your venue looks like - the tables, place settings, florals, all of you ideas end up here for guests to enjoy. Your photographer will usually sneak into your venue to capture an amazing shot of the setup before guests see it and quite frankly mess it up by having fun but make sure that you've communicated this with them - especially if the details are really important to you.
When your setting is as magical as this - it's essential to capture your first dance. Now I totally appreciate that for a lot of people, having to do a first dance is hugely stressful, let alone have it photographed. But I promise you, by that point in the day, you'll be having too much fun to even care.
