193. The Photographer’s Guide to Legally Sharing Photos with Venues and Vendors
Manage episode 470693724 series 3236231
On this week’s episode of the Legally Legit Podcast (formerly The Legal Paige Podcast), I’m wrapping up Season 6 with an important conversation every photographer and wedding vendor needs to hear. If you’ve ever had a venue or vendor ask for your photos — or worse, take and use them without your permission — this episode is for you!
I’m sharing a replay of a recent training I hosted for photographers about handling venue photo requests like a pro. We’re talking copyright rights, private property claims, and how to protect your intellectual property without burning bridges. Whether you’re a photographer, planner, florist, or venue owner, understanding these legal issues is crucial for keeping your business legally legit.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- What your copyright rights are as a photographer (and how they are automatically protected).
- The difference between working with a venue versus giving away your photos.
- Why venues claiming rights to your photos because they were taken on private property is legally tricky.
- How to communicate professionally and legally with venues and vendors who request images.
- When to use licensing agreements, how to set boundaries, and whether you should charge a fee.
