Modern wedding photography

What makes one wedding different from another? Many factors do, from the obvious differences of faces and places to the more subtle distinctions of mood, action and atmosphere. Why, then, do so many wedding albums seem to bear a monotonous resemblance to each other? This book, written by a professional wedding photographer Suzanne Szasz, presents a method of photographing weddings that ensures individuality of treatment. The key to her success is photographing what occurs naturally rather than forcing a picture. . .

Suzanne Szasz was one of the all-time great magazine photojounalists, and her book on wedding photography is the book that actually began the trend to wedding photojournalism which has become a prominent part of today's wedding scene. Her pictures are full of the life and spirit of the wedding and even though made more than 20 years ago, are better than most of those displayed on the web pages of today's photographers who bill themselves as wedding photojournalists. Her photographs, which expertly and artistically document the wedding as it happens, will not please the traditional wedding photographer, who seeks to impose upon the event his own interpretation of a wedding fantasy, rather than letting each wedding reveal its own individuality and beauty.
