I can’t imagine there are any wedding photographers who would not find some sort of inspiration from this book. It’s chock full of gorgeous photos (500 of them!), broken up into different poses and different body parts. Yes, it’s essentially all photos. And that’s the point. Flip through, let the bride flip through. The book features every possible pose a bride could want and likely more than a few she or the photographer may have never thought of. Highest recommendation.

I am not a wedding photographer. I shoot portraits. However, when things get boring, I regularly turn to photography related websites for insipration. For wedding photographers, this book is PACKED with ideas and concepts. There are no lighting diagrams or descriptions of how a certain shot was obtained but if you’re looking for something new for your armamentarium, take a look at this book for MANY ideas!

The poses are excellent. However, a quick inspection reveals that nearly all of the photos require extensive use of off-camera flash to create the shadows and capture the moment. I’m becoming a strobist and hopefully will be a fast student on these techniques if I have any hope of duplicating these poses. I didn’t even have a clue what a strobist was until a few weeks ago.

I wasn’t really impressed with the poses in this book. There were a couple of ideas I liked that were new to me but overall….if you are already doing wedding photography, this book doesn’t really show you anything new.
