My understanding is that you don’t need a model release to display your work.  If you did need one, wedding photographers would have an administrative nightmare.  Imagine trying to get a release from 350 people and keeping track of who signed and who did not!  One photographer told me if you blog and put up wedding photos, you pretty much have to do it for every couple because if you leave a wedding out they become offended.  All or nothing seem to be the best options.

I read that you don’t need a release for your photos in your book but you need one for the cover if there is a recognizable person.

I’m not a lawyer so none of this is legal advice.  Be guided accordingly, do your own research or consult a lawyer as appropriate.
