When I did a few weddings back in the 70's (along with my normal PR work), he who paid for the job owned the copyright, but he who did the shooting owned the negatives as "part of the artistic process" (without right to reproduce, unless he had a model telease).
So I guess it comes down to what's written in the contract - if there was one.
