Does this affect what I can see?

No. As host you always see every photo in the album regardless of the setting.

Which option should I choose?

For weddings and parties, everyone seeing everything is usually the point. See [can guests see each other's photos](/help/manage-your-gallery/can-guests-see-each-others-photos).

Could it be approval rather than visibility?

Possibly. If approval is on, uploads wait for you before anyone sees them. See [approving photos](/help/manage-your-gallery/approve-photos-before-gallery).

Does changing it affect existing photos?

It changes what guests can see immediately. No photos are deleted or altered.

Why can a guest not see every photo in the gallery?

Q: Why can a guest not see every photo in the gallery?

Because of the Photo Visibility setting on your album. There are three options: everyone sees everything, guests see their own uploads plus yours, or guests see only their own. If guests are reporting a partial gallery, that setting is almost certainly the reason. Your own view as host always shows everything.
