I’m just starting out in wedding photography and I was taken to a wedding with another photographer to learn the ropes. There was alot of good info in this book, but it seems to be overkill in some areas. I’ve talked to other wedding photographers and none of them take a whole set of studio lights with them. The author seems to be doing a lot of elite weddings that I will probably never do.

The author has created a very comprehensive wedding photography book that takes you through all aspects of the wedding day. There is also considerable information about products to offer and dealing with Brides and Grooms.
The photos shown are very natural in appearance and there is a lot of quality photojournalistic images throughout. Probably the image I liked the least is the one on the cover. This picture seems ‘forced’ at best. I have known a Bride to extend her arms out like that – especially with a decorative fan in one hand and her boquet in the other. I got past the cover to find the gems inside. You will too!

That this book is about black and white photography and just black and white photography is a misnomer. While all the pictures are in black and white (either reproduced from color or shot in black and white), the book is encyclopediac in scope, covering the entire field of wedding photography by a highly-successful photographer who has been in the game a long time. If you want to know how a top-flight wedding photographer shoots the most fashionable weddings, read this book. She tells how she puts all of her $30,000+ worth of equipment she takes to a wedding to use. Her style is not very very exciting, but it is business-like. If you want information, it is here.
