How can guests communicate that they do not want to be photographed at a wedding?

Direct answer
Tell the hosts and photography coordinator privately before the event and ask how the request will be communicated and respected.
Use a practical arrangement, such as avoiding formal group shots or identifying an agreed camera-free area, without requiring a public explanation. Hosts should brief their hired team and ask guests not to post unwanted images. Be honest that uncontrolled phones can limit guarantees. A clear opt-out process is more useful than assuming attendance automatically means agreement to every photograph or public album.
