    Is this normal and does it bother anyone else that you've no control over when or where the photos taken might be used, edited, hosted or published?

    I'm really not comfortable with it and it's in our contract. Also, it's personally identifiable information, wouldn't that subject the data to GDPR?

    We don't have a photographer, but I asked our videographer to change our contract since we weren't comfortable with our image being used without our consent. He happily changed it.

    Talk to the photographer.
    We've gotten professional wedding and family photos done with a range of photographers and all had different contracts. If your deal breaker is control over image go with someone else.

    OP, you are right. Thanks to GDPR the photographer must get your consent to use your image for marketing/publication. The grey area is all your guests as it's impractical to get consent from everyone attending.

    As a courtesy anyway, the photographer should respect the clients wishes to keep images of them private.

    Oh also I should add that even if it's in a signed contract, under GDPR you have the right to withdraw consent at ANY time.

    If the photographer comes back with any counter argument about the price of the package or tries to charge more because they can not share photos, that is also not allowed by GDPR. You cannot incentivise consent.
