Answer

Direct answer

Use an access-controlled gallery or direct sharing arrangement and tell recipients which images may be forwarded or posted.

Share only the material each audience needs, check gallery permissions and avoid publishing private links in large groups. Keep a protected original copy and agree when hosted access ends. No sharing method prevents every screenshot or copy, so ask before including sensitive images. Private distribution is a combination of technical settings and the people involved respecting the couple's and guests' preferences.
