It all depends if you’re set up as a business or not. Your last sentence regarding shooting weddings is kind of vague.
You would need to talk to an accountant to get any real advice, but I would imagine they would first ask how you’re currently conducting your photography.
Whether you sell your MLS pictures or not, if you were a legitimate business you could absolutely deduct certain expenses related to that. Working photographers shoot personal work all the time and if it’s in support of their business then there is a path for a write-off (in some capacity.)
Pro-tip: just because you aren’t selling these MLS pictures now, doesn’t mean you can’t sell them later.
