Who may publish wedding photographs on a vendor's social media account?

Direct answer
Agree publication permissions expressly; hiring a photographer does not by itself answer who may post every image or whose consent is needed.
Separate delivery to the couple from advertising, portfolio, tagging and public social-media use. Include the couple's privacy preferences and practical arrangements for guests who do not want publication. Copyright, contract and privacy questions can differ under applicable law, so obtain qualified advice for a dispute. Do not assume ownership of a file and permission to publicise everyone pictured are the same issue.
