Who we are

Table Ten Weddings is the business name of Samuel Jonathan Buchwald, a sole trader (ABN 21 197 727 135). "We" and "us" mean Sam and the people who work with him on your day. You can reach us at hello@tabletenweddings.com.au.

What we collect

When you enquire. Your names, your email address, the date, the venue or place, what you'd like photographed, and anything else you write to us.

When you book. Your phone number, the addresses and schedule for the day, the names of family and friends you'd like photographed, and records of what you've paid. We don't store card numbers.

Photographs and film. Images and sound of you, your guests and other people at your event. That can include children.

When you visit this site. The companies that host this site and supply its fonts receive your IP address and browser details as pages load. We don't use analytics or advertising cookies.

We don't ask for sensitive information such as your health or religion. If you tell us something like that so we can plan your day, we use it only for that.

How we collect it

Mostly from you. Sometimes from your partner, your planner or your venue. And by photographing your event.

Why we collect it

• To answer your enquiry, quote and hold your date.
• To book, plan, photograph and film your event.
• To deliver your highlights, gallery, film and any prints or album.
• To invoice you and keep the records the law requires.
• With your agreement, to show our work and to send you news.

Photographs of you, your guests and children

Your gallery is yours. We deliver your photographs to you in a private online gallery.

Showing our work. We publish photographs from a wedding on this site or on social media only if the couple who booked us has agreed in their booking agreement. You can say yes, say no, or agree with limits. We publish your names only if you've said we can.

If you were a guest. If you're in a photograph we've published and you'd like it taken down, email us. We'll remove it within 10 business days and we won't ask why.

Children. We don't publish a photograph in which a child is the main subject unless a parent or guardian has agreed. A parent or guardian can ask us to remove any published photograph of their child at any time, and we will.

Editing and AI. A person chooses and edits every photograph we deliver. The software we edit with has automated features, such as masking and noise reduction, and we use them. We don't use AI to add people, objects or scenes that weren't there.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your information. We share it only with the people and companies that help us do the work:

• Google, for email, calendar, file storage, website hosting and fonts.
• The online gallery service we use to deliver your photographs.
• A second photographer or a videographer working on your day.
• The print lab, if you order a print or an album.
• Our accountant and other professional advisers, and government bodies where the law requires it.

We don't pass your details to anyone in return for payment or any other benefit.

Where it's stored

Some of these companies store information on servers outside Australia, including in the United States. By sending us your details you understand that it may be stored and handled there.

Marketing

Enquiring or booking doesn't put you on a mailing list. We'll send you news only if you've asked for it, and every message will have a way to stop them.

Automated decisions

We don't use software to make decisions about you. The calendar on this site shows whether a date looks free. A person confirms every hold and every booking.

How long we keep it

If you enquire and don't book, we delete your enquiry within two years. If you book, we keep your booking and payment records for five years because tax law requires it. We keep your photographs for at least twelve months after delivery, so please download your gallery and store it somewhere safe.

Keeping it safe

We keep information in password-protected accounts with two-step sign-in, and photographs on encrypted or access-controlled storage. No system is perfectly secure. If something goes wrong with your information, we'll tell you.

Seeing, correcting or deleting your information

Email hello@tabletenweddings.com.au and tell us what you'd like to see, fix or have deleted. We'll answer within 30 days. We may need to confirm who you are first, and we'll tell you if the law requires us to keep something.

Complaints

If you think we've mishandled your information, email us and we'll reply within 30 days. If you're not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.

If you're under 18

This site is for adults planning an event. If you're under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to contact us for you.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll change the date at the top. A change won't reduce the protection of information you gave us before it.
