I think that if the photos were used for any other commercial purpose
that a release would be required. I think also that since the photos
are not for sale to the general public a release is not required. If
there was a famous relative at the wedding, and you took a picture of
him drunk and dancing with a 15 year year old, then sold the photo to
the Enquirer with a racy caption, then I think you'd be in deep doodoo.
You'd have to spend all the money you got for the photo on defending
yourself in court. bummer.
Hmm. I wonder if that one would come under the heading of "news photography"...
Maybe all those wedding where they put disposable cameras around for
people to use, they should attach a statement of terms: "By picking
up this camera, you agree...."
