No, the photograpy company/photographer owns your photos, odd as that is. He owns the copyright. Looking over the stipulations, sometimes it looks as if you can put them on FB, sometimes it appears not.
I have searched some of the language in the stipulations. I am going to supply the website that will tell you that you can't on FB, since FB is facebook.com (dot com), commercial use.
He did allow prints, which I think was generous b/c many ppl can't afford wedding photos from the wedding they attended. Since you received a CD/DVD/USB, a printed pic called the 'hard copy'-something tangible to hold.
Best to ask where the watermark will appear and what it will look like. And I think I would agree to that, altho you didn't ask that.
One time Walgreens wouldn't let me copy a pic b/c it was on Kodak paper. I don't think that is any of their business, but if legalities/fines etc would come into your situation, its probably best to agree to the watermark. If you are satisfied w your pictures, and believe me I wasn't that lucky, but if you are, you are potentially giving him advertisement. You might want to bargain therefore that you would get some rebate if your friends etc came to him in the future.
O/W, if you want them there on FB, you have to go along with the guy. That's how he protects his work and feeds his family.
