We use have + object + past participle when we arrange (and usually pay) for someone to do something for us, either because we can't or don't want to do it ourselves. Compare:
I cleaned my car yesterday. (= I did it myself.)
I had my car cleaned yesterday. (= I paid someone to clean it for me.)
In this structure, we can also use get instead of have, e.g.
I'm going to have my hair cut = I'm going to get my hair cut.
If we want to say who did the work, we use by, e.g.
We had our wedding photos taken by the same photographer you used.
