 Average - "don't judge the book by its title" April 14, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
The content and images is average, just like my cousin took wedding pictures. I so fortunately live by the library of Phoenix,AZ. I can loan ton of books just for wedding. 80% by Bill Hurter books, I recommend to everyone.
 If you're thinking of shooting weddings, you cannot afford NOT to buy this book! April 7, 2008
I've been doing photography as a business for about two years and have always been hesitant to shoot a wedding. Much of this is because I'm working in an information vacuum. Short of apprenticing with an experienced wedding photographer, Glen Johnson's book, "Digital Wedding Photography - Capturing Beautiful Memories is a great way to get your bearing in the world of shooting weddings.
Johnson assumes a basic knowledge of photography and dives-in with a description of the three prevailing types of wedding photography today: Traditional, Journalistic, and Portrait Journalistic. He explains how the photographer's financial needs may actually dictate which artistic style is chosen.
The book covers how to be prepared for the key events in any wedding, and strongly emphasizes the authors philosophy of non-interference in what should be a couple's key life event. Not turning that blessed event into 'a photo shoot'. He covers photographic technique; which equipment is essential to (digitally) shooting a wedding, and what not to waste your money on; to creating a manageable workflow.
I'm still not convinced that wedding photography is right for me, but I am sure that any digital photographer who is considering entering this area of specialty, cannot afford NOT to buy this book!
Rating 5!
 Great book...only 4 stars because... April 5, 2008

Would give this book a 5...if only it came without creased covers! Amazon, please be more careful with packing next time! Didn't want to return it because I was so excited to read it. I read the reviews, and I'm pretty much just a hobbyist that occassionally get calls to do event gigs. =). This book worked like a guid, as if though i was working with the pro himself! Some seasoned pros may not find this book too useful, but for some of us who are just starting out, or at least in the middle of making sense of our own photography style, this book is a gem. The tips on pricing models, shooting styles, album resources...and a lot more, are just great. Thank you Glen Johnson for writing such a concise and easy to read book. Photos are great...and if anyone just reads the "photos" on this book, you can actually have enough to go with to shoot/cover a wedding. Thanks! Great book!
Sensational Book March 15, 2008
I'm new in the wedding photography business and have ordered many assorted digital wedding books to further my knowledge. Glen Johnson's book is so well thought out and covers things one never even thought of which makes his book stand far above the rest. The most exciting thing I discovered from reading his book, is what type of photographer I really am. Sounds crazy, I know, but after reading his clear explanations, I realized I'm a Portrait Photo-Journalist....that simple. Here I've been trying to be everything others wanted me to be and I realize now, that it is best to stick with what you feel you do best...let the others go by the wayside if they don't like your style. He gives so many examples and shares his intimate experiences in his doing weddings all over the world that made me feel even though I'm a novice at this, that this is something I can do...I have the greatest confidence now and am ready to take on this new and exciting wedding business. You won't be disappointed by purchasing this fine book. It's one of the best!
GREAT IDEAS! March 7, 2008
I got this book to help me over the winter, my off season, for weddings. I needed new inspiration and new ideas, and I was not disappointed! Great book, I highly recommend this for anyone looking for fresh ideas!
