How do you feel about guests posting pictures of your wedding that you shared with them?

We asked for an unplugged ceremony and that did not work. We got our pics back from the photographer and are only giving 1-2 printed pics to people in our wedding party. Our photographer ask that if a picture is posted, we must give credit but knowing our family, they won’t. Also, if we start giving out copies of some of our pictures, everyone else in the family will feel so entitled and ask for copies (which we shouldn’t have to do) and even copies of our wedding in which they’re not even in the pictures.

also, we just don’t feel comfortable having our guests post pictures of our photographer’s work. Not many people realize that it takes a lot of time to edit those pictures.

Edit: I forgot to add: we had pictures with guests at our venue and printed out copies for them. We left a note saying, “due to copyright...the photographer and newlyweds ask you to refrain from posting, editing, or duplicating pics.”

I had a couple of people called feeling entitled
tomoictures they were in. It annoyed me, but i understood them wanting them.
I told them I don’t want them post and if they decided to I didn’t want to be tagged and HAD to give the photographer photo credits. I guess by the way I said it, they got the point and I haven’t seen them online. But then again, I’m not friends with them on FB. I didn’t have anyone try and share my prophotos.
i think if you let them know they are copy righted and it is a breech of contract for them to share the photos, you should be ok.

Wow, that sounds intense. So the photos donnot have a small watermark or something identifying the photographer?

I mean, I think it’s rude when people post photos when you ask them not to, but I also think you’re taking this copyright thing way too seriously. Almost all photographers have some kind of clause in their contract that they need to be credited on social media and you should absolutely do your best to abide by that, however, if your great aunt Sallie shares a photo with her 16 Facebook friends without crediting the photographer, a.) your photographer will literally never know and b.) the photographer wouldn’t be gaining any business from aunt Sallie’s sixteen 60+ year old friends anyway.

This is why I'm so glad my photographer and I are the only ones seeing the pictures. I too have family members that can't follow the rules.
Pictures are ready, she will give us a USB and private link to our albums. We'll be the only ones to share her work with proper credits.
As for printed pictures, those are being made into albums for our parents who both don't have social media haha.

We did that for our parents too. We made them photo books so we didn’t have to print a million random pics. As a small gift for the wedding party, we’re printing 1-2 pics on metallic paper for each bridesmaid and groomsmen. We gave his mom the photo book and now she’s asking for printed pictures with the metallic paper of the SAME pictures that are already in the book 🤦🏻‍♀️

If you share any photos with guests, there's always that chance someone's going to post some. If you want to keep the photos private, I would skip sharing!

I think you and Caytlyn come from a different family and lifestyle than I do because my Aunt Sally doesn't have 16 facebook friends. Aunt Sally has extended family on top of extended family on top of other family friends who weren't invited. Obviously, those members of the extended family know by now that they weren't invited. That's not really an issue.
I come from a much larger network where everyone is friends with everyone on facebook. I understand what you're saying but from who someone who is private and values intimacy, sharing photos in which our family may re-post (and possibly upload) so they can share with people I don't know is a bit too much for me.

Then don't post them on social media or send them to people. It's not as complicated as you're trying to make it.
