No, it doesn't. You should have the rights to the negatives and digital files; you are the one paying for them.

Not 100% sure about this though.

Re: does this sound right

Had something like that on my original contract - I called my photog and he told me to cross it out. I wouldn't chance leaving it in even if your photog tells you that the rights to the photos are yours - what's important is what is in writing!!

Re: does this sound right

my contract said the same, and I asked the guy about it. he said that its just there for their protection and that if it bothers me we will cross it out.
crossed it out and then signed.

Re: does this sound right

yeah I just called them - i am crossing it off....they give me the DVD of proofs 3 months after the wedding, that clause is there for the timeframe before I actually get the dvd that they have the rights.....

why can't they just write in normal english?

Re: does this sound right

it's a standard contract clause. like others said if it bothers you let them know - they may take it out. some vendors don't even know what's in their contract i've learned!
