Never Tried This Before – Need Help!

I’ve used different version of Photoshop before, but never for what I am trying to accomplish. I think I have to make a "mask" … but not sure. So hopefully someone can tell me what I need to make this work.
My wife recently purchased two 4×6 photo frames that are not "true" 4×6 frames. The picture area is an oval 4.125" wide by 6.0625" depth. I have to select two pictures to place into each frame, then re-size the photos to approximately these dimensions … then somehow mask out the outside areas of the photo that will need to be cut off so that I only leave an oval shaped photo 4 1/8" x 6 1/16".

How do I do this?

I’d create the shape in a vector programme like Freehand or Illustrator and
then import it as a path.

Why do you need to mask an oval shape? The rest of the photo will be hidden behind the frame.
