An email to all University staff rooted out the photos!
It would have helped if the wedding planner hadn't addressed them to 'Rosalind English'. A nice enough name, but it ain't mine.

[Edited to add: Nice to have them because there are some shots, e.g. the ceremony and signing the register, that we didn't already have. But in my opinion [livejournal.com profile] maleghast, [livejournal.com profile] nyarbaggytep and Chiara are all better photographers, and the photos I'll cherish come through their lenses. This doesn't bother me - I just find it amusing.]

Thanks for the insight.

My view would be that as long as someone pays for my time, then they can have the photos in digital format for a nominal fee (my time to convert and burn them + cost of media). I would assume that the reason they are paying for my time is that I would not retain the rights to the photos - if I did I could sell other people's wedding photos as stock art, and that does not seem right.

Yeah, I reckon there has to be a niche here - of course it will get a conspiracy of pro snappers wanting to kill me... *shrug*
