Are you insinuating that no one else can take pictures at the wedding if the
bride and groom signed a contract saying such?  The bride and groom signing
a contract as such (and I would doubt they would) does not obligate people
who are not party to the contract!  Now, the bride and groom may ask you to
not take pictures, and if you do, may ask you to leave...but they wouldn't
have many friends if they didn't let friends take pictures.

I can't imagine anyone asking for such an obligation in the first place,
much less anyone agreeing to it!
