Even if the pics were from their own galleries, that automatically doesn't give you the right to copy them and store them on your server. Linking to content and copying content are two different things.

Watermarks (whether they are present or not) and picture quality mean nothing in regard to copyright.

You should ask them for promotional pics you can use on your own site. It's the exclusive right of the author or copyright holder to give permission to copy and publish his content.
