Just my .02
A few years back my friend’s mother passed away. Before she had passed, he moved in with her and took care of her for about 3 years. Well after the reading of the will, his only sibling, a sister, insisted that he gets nothing. She felt he already got his half when living with his Mother.
To make a long story short, I asked him, What’s more important to you, a sister or the money.” He contacted his sister and basically told her, that if the money was that important to her she should keep it and would rather have her as family. BTW he was broke from not working for 3 years taking care of his sick elderly mother.
After a couple of weeks, his sister called him and apologized and did the right thing.
My point is sometimes it is better to take the morally higher road and not let BS no mater how big or small, ruin your relationship your siblings.
It is always great to have someone else enjoy the photos you took, but I would take them down and apologize to your sister for upsetting her after her special day. I would offer her all of your photos on a CD/DVD for her to enjoy them when she wants. I would also tell her of what your intentions were and abide by her wishes, not because of any lawyer, but because she’s your sister. My bet is that in a few months, she will have calmed down and will let you use the photos for your portfolio, and if she doesn’t, well family is more important than the photos of them.
Like I said my .02 and my honest opinion.
