Customer Reviews

Wedding photography will never be as daunting again...
If you are serious about your photography, it won't be long before someone in the family or close friend pops you the inevitable question..."Would you photograph my forthcoming wedding?" It has happened to me on numerous occassions. I wouldn't place this book into the complete beginner's category regarding photography itself, but it is a Godsend to anyone who has never photographed a wedding. Hundreds of tips and superb photographs throughout the pages will give you an incentive to say "Yes" to your first wedding or indeed your 21st. The book covers everything from meeting the couple for the very first time, traditional and reportage photography, to designing the album using latest Digital technology. There is also a chapter on marketing your business for the up and coming professional. I have several books on wedding photography and this may sound like an old cliche, but mark my word, this is definitely the best read you will ever get on the subject. I simply couldn't put it down once I had turned the first page.

Unfussy and elegant
I loved it. About the right size, with good structure and excellent tutorials for the amateur. Having done lots of photography but never a wedding, I loved it. Most photographs are very stylish, some of them even original. Unpretentious and unfussy, it appeals to most tastes of wedding photography, and the style of writing is pleasant. A good format to show good photographs on good quality paper, and pleasant to browse for ideas, too.

I look forward to shooting my first wedding, and this book definitely helped.

It also contains good (but short)info on how to set up editing marketing one's images. Nice entry-level book for the ambitious amateur.

Excellent Book
This is a fine wedding book. It is the most clearly organised and simply, useful, of all the wedding books I have read. The photography is consistently good throughout and it is modern without being overtly so. I very much enjoyed reading it and it provides an excellent, balanced guide to wedding photographer for photographers of all standards. Highly recommended
