The Best of Wedding Photography

This is one of the better photography books that I have read. And I have read a lot! It is by no means and exhaustive tutorial on how to be a wedding photographer. But it will give you enough information to get you into shooting weddings and through your first few events. This book covers a lot of ground,from photographic style to the business of photography. It is very well written and keeps your interest. I finished off most of it on a flight from LA to Chicago and I usually sleep on this flight! It definitely helped me get through my first two weddings this year and I keep on opening it up to brush up on things and get more tips. If you are thinking about getting into wedding photography, nothing beats experience, but this book will give you a good introduction. RECOMMENDED!!!

If you've ever longed to peek inside the brains of some of the world's best wedding photographers, this is your chance. It's almost like attending a weekend full of seminars--but much cheaper!

Bill Hurter's CHILDREN'S PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY covers all the basics of how to photograph children, from using studio lighting for formal and informal results to posing tips for all ages, age-specific psychological insights for talking to kids, and design techniques for making albums polished keepsakes.
