Professional Secrets of Wedding Photography

This book will help the professional wedding photographer take his/her wedding work up another professional notch. It is not about digital and refers to film and Hassys but the lighting techniques are very applicaple to digital. Timeless book.

Douglas Allen Box has a fresh view of wedding photography, and a fresh, clear book format. I consider him my new guru. I have asorbed much of the techniques described here and will be looking for opportunities to use them in my future weddings.However, this book is meant for the professional, who wants to add new arrows to their quiver, an amature will find the techniques described, too lofty. For them I would say, find a book written for beginners.

I'm a nature photographer by choice, but when a friend of mine begged me to shoot her wedding I was a bit worried about doing it. I baught this book one week before my first wedding shoot. Its very simple to use and read with easy to follow diagrams of positions and reasons why. Its quick and to the point, not getting into the science of photography,and gets right to the basics. I was happy with the pictures I took and the Bride was even happier, which is what its all about, making her special day a day to remember. I've still got alot to learn but this was a positive step in the right direction, and with help from this book it made it a little easier.
