Of course, that's actually nothing whatsoever to do with privacy and more to do with the model giving permission to use the images (her "likeness" I think it is called). Or possibly just some sort of contract.

However, when photographing a wedding copyright of the photographs actually belongs to the photographer on the bais that he can sell you further copies.

Well yes. They are being paid to take the photos after all. Though I agree there's an issue there.

None of which have anything to do with the two scenarios you described.

Tada! "Model release form". You answered your own question there
