Photography Credits

In response to a comment I received recently regarding linking to the photographer who took any photo on my website or a more direct link to that site:

Three years ago when I began this blog, blogging was fairly new and the rules regarding the appropriate way to credit an image was unclear. Often times a blog received a photo, posted that photo without reference to its photographer, then another blog copied that photo and posted it, which was then copied by yet another blog, etc. This process made finding the origin of a photo and its photographer very difficult. About a year ago, wedding bloggers agreed to begin giving more specific credit and links to approach exactly that issue. Since then I have tried very hard to give better credit to any images I use...but there are always some times where that is still difficult. As just an individual who does this on the side, I do not have the resources that big corporate blogs do to keep track of this.

To anyone who has found their photo on my site without permission or credit, I always encourage you to let me know (via comment on that post) and I will give proper credit as soon as I can. The only other option to remedy this is to remove any content with a photo and I feel currently that it would be a disservice to my readers to do so. However, if any photographer would prefer their photo be removed from my site, if requested via comment I would happily do that as well. Please contact me at triedandtrueweddings@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.

Should this issue become a problem, I may indeed need to remove much of the photo content on my website. To my readers, I will keep you updated in the event that this occurs. Thank you for continuing to read my blog and coming here for wedding inspiration.
