Book Description
The wedding business is bigger than ever. Today's weddings are grander, more formal, more elegant—and more expensive. This trend is mirrored in the wedding photography business, where photographers are now being chosen for their high-quality, artful black-and-white photography with only some color photography being requested. To cash in on this trend, the successful photographer needs to deliver the classic look today's brides and grooms want in both posed and photojournalistic styles. And it's often accomplished with black-and-white photography that is elegant and timeless. In this valuable guide, a leading wedding photographer demonstrates, step by step, how to produce memorable elegant black-and-white wedding photography that sells. From basic technique, philosophy, and practice to style, procedure, and business concerns, readers will see how to master this latest facet in the art of wedding photography. Brimming with lush examples from the author's own work, this is the must-have A-Z reference for anyone interested in creating stylish, sophisticated wedding photos that will be treasured for a lifetime.

 New at Wedding Photography May 14, 2007
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!
one of the best November 19, 2003

This is one of the best new books on the market regarding the subject of wedding photography. If you are serious about learning the art of wedding photography, this book is a "must have". There are so many books out there on this subject, and so many of them are not worth reading. This book is a delightful exception.
A misnomer, but still worth it May 28, 2003

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.
