    No one is going to force you to post pictures.

    Sure! Plenty of brides don't post pictures! Or just post pictures of themselves.

    I actually negotiated this into my contract with my photographer! She wasn’t allowed to post any photos without my prior approval to protect identities. It can be done!

    Of course! Brides only post photos if they want to. Definitely read through your photography contract and make sure there’s a clause that says they can’t post the photos or can only post certain photos. You photographer should understand Smiley smile

    Do you mean here or in general? Overall the answer is absolutely. If you mean on here? No problem at all, just don’t add any. I post pictures but don’t ever include faces for this reason. If you’re talking about Facebook, you can absolutely do that but may have some difficultly controlling what your guests post— though you can still ask for privacy. If it’s across the board, make sure you speak to your vendors, as you may have to ask them directly. I know for example, my DJ has posted some
    pics he took at our wedding as self promotion on his instagram , and we made an appearance on our caterer’s social media as well as our tent companies, though not all actually involved us. We had some say. Our caterers made a promotional video at our wedding and asked our permission and our only request was that WE not be in it— they respected this. It just may be a conversation you need to actually have!

    Sure. Anything you post here could wind up in the search engines, so just choose pics carefully. You can post pics of decor if you wish instead (and of you & your spouse). I didn't post any pics of family or guests either because I feel like they're not consenting to that.

    You do not need to post any, anywhere. And frankly, are better off if you post none. You never know when they will reappear with someone else using them for their own reasons. People have no right to use cameras and take pictures at your private function, without your permission. If you want to stop your pics from going on line, you have to stop it at the source: People taking pictures. Forbid it. Anyone who does not like it, can leave. And you do not have to post pics anywhere. You do not " owe it to" any friends or family.

    Exactly this. I think you're making an excellent decision by respecting the privacy of people who didn't consent to have their pictures posted on a public forum!

    Sure. i did not make any announcements on social media regarding my engagement. i am personally not very active on social media and am not keen on the world knowing every detail of my life. do what makes you comfortable.
