  • Book The Weekend Tape
  • Make a payment
  • Provide shipping or billing information
  • Sign or accept related agreements
  • Email or communicate with us
  • Send us wedding details

You are not required to provide personal information, but if you choose not to provide certain information, we may not be able to respond to your inquiry, reserve your date, ship your kit, complete your order, or provide our services.

Depending on how far away your wedding date is, your booking may be completed through different systems. Information you submit through our website, Pixieset forms or booking materials, Booqable checkout, Stripe payment processing, or related service providers may be shared with us as needed to manage your reservation and provide the service.

03

Payment Information

Payments are processed through third-party booking, checkout, invoicing, and payment providers, which may include Booqable, Pixieset, and Stripe. We do not intentionally store full credit card numbers or complete payment card details on our own systems.

Payment processors may collect billing details, payment card information, transaction details, and other information necessary to process your payment. Your use of any payment processor may be subject to that processor’s own privacy policy and terms.

04

Footage, Audio, and Wedding Content

Because The Weekend Tape is a guest-filmed wedding video service, we may receive, store, review, edit, process, and deliver video footage, audio, raw clips, edited Weekend Tapes, still images, and related files from your wedding or wedding weekend.

This content may include you, your guests, family members, vendors, venue staff, voices, music, background conversations, private moments, and other event-related content.

We use this content to provide our services, including reviewing footage, creating your edited Weekend Tape, preparing usable raw clips for delivery, considering supplemental footage you choose to send us, communicating with you about the edit, troubleshooting technical issues, delivering files through your online gallery, and maintaining service records.

We will not sell your private wedding footage.

05

Use of Footage for Portfolio, Social Media, and Advertising

By booking The Weekend Tape and agreeing to our Terms, Privacy Policy, and related agreements, you grant Joy and Ben LLC and The Weekend Tape permission to use portions of your edited Weekend Tape, raw clips, still images, audio, client feedback, and related wedding content for portfolio, website, social media, promotional, educational, and advertising purposes.

This may include use on our website, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, email marketing, digital ads, printed materials, and other promotional platforms used by The Weekend Tape.

We may edit, crop, resize, shorten, combine, caption, or otherwise adapt this content for marketing, social media, advertising, or portfolio use.

We will make reasonable efforts to use content respectfully and in a way that reflects the spirit of The Weekend Tape. We will not intentionally use private or sensitive moments in a misleading, harmful, or inappropriate way.

If you prefer that we do not use your footage for public portfolio, social media, or advertising purposes, contact us in writing at [email protected] as early as possible and preferably before your finished Weekend Tape is delivered. We will make reasonable efforts to honor written privacy requests received before publication.

Once content has been published, we will make reasonable efforts to remove it from platforms we directly control upon written request. However, we cannot guarantee removal from third-party platforms, shares, reposts, screenshots, archives, search engines, or content that has already been distributed or saved by others.

Clients should download and safely store their finished Weekend Tape and usable raw clips before the one-year gallery period ends.
