Hydrangea's seem to flower on new growth so you can prune it up in the spring to keep it in check. We have H. paniculata and I've seem H macrophylla(the common blue and pink ones) and they both bloom fine without pinching. So I wouldn't.
Is this it in the picture? If it is, you have a macrophylla.

Hope this helps,
Steve
