This is illegal. No lab should ever make prints from wedding proofs if the clients don't have the negatives or a signed letter from the photographer granting them permission to reproduce the photos. How does the work for hire law work in Canada and the US? Does the photographer automatically get copyright for her work, or does she have to specify in the contract that she retains all rights to the negatives and proofs and that the client is not allowed to have prints made? chris
