Has anyone ever been told not to put pictures online of a friends wedding?

Question

I assume she means of her, cause who is she to tell me not to put picture of myself at her wedding

Answer 1

Did she say why??  

Answer 2

I haven't been told that myself, but I can see it happening. If she's talking about pictures her and her husband are in then it's a completely reasonable request. Once a photo goes on the web there is no control over who sees it. I had a friend's photo turn up on the-dirty.com with some horrible things said about it and the person whose myspace profile it was taken from had no intention on that happening.

As far as photos of yourself or other friends, that is a completely ridiculous request. As long as the subjects are willing the fact that it's at her wedding shouldn't make any difference.  

Answer 3

if the pix is just of you, go ahead..if there are others, especially children, in the pix, then you need the permission of everyone in them, including the permission of the parents of any kids......

there are legal issues with children, you see....the permission needs to be written.....sorry. Each person 'owns' their own image and other needs a release in order to display them publicly.

Answer 4

A lot of people don't want their pictures up because for example if they are going to a job interview and the person hiring them searches for them online (more common then you think) they don't want to risk loosing the job.    

Answer 5

My boyfriend is nuts about having his picture on the internet too. He is very paranoid. Perhaps because he is not very internet savvy. I only post on facebook and other password protected sites, but I guess that information is easily hacked into.

Not sure what they'd do with a photo though.

Answer 6

A lot of people take the dangers of the Internet seriously and I can understand her not wanting you to post pictures from her wedding. A picture of you is fine but of other guests, her and other parts of it I wouldn't do it.  

Answer 7

Did she have a photographer do the wedding?  They will often not allow their work to be published on the web because it is under their copyright.  You may ask her if its OK to publish pictures of you with credit to the photographer.  Otherwise she may be concerned about Internet safety as the first poster suggested.

Answer 8

Were they photos you took or the photographer?

Is she in the photo or other people besides you?

She must have a reason, depends what it is!
