Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My wedding is coming up soon, if Allah wills, and I am among those who hold that photography with a mobile phone is forbidden. You know, may Allah preserve you, how widespread photography is at wedding celebrations. Am I required to forbid them if they take my picture?

Answer:
Make it a condition that they do not do this, and make it a condition. If you are able to prevent them, prevent them. But make it a condition that there is no photography and nothing from the sins. And if you are able to prevent them in practice, prevent them. This is obligatory upon you. Yes.
