Good choice for beginners
I buy this book when I began to shoot weddings, I didn't know not a lot on not a lot and it really helps me, If you're a beginner in this business it's definitely a good choice !
More than meets the eye
I really don't enjoy weddings that much; and wedding photos are pretty low on my list of things to look at. However, a friend wanted me to take photos at his wedding so I read this book. Sensibly I declined taking photos at his wedding and he got a professional. (Just because I have a nice camera does not mean I take nice photos!) The book explains how to position the couple for staged photos and interesting things to do with the lighting. I especially enjoyed the sections in the back of the book that was kind of a "cook book" of how to set the gang up for different photos. The author also discussed the artistic photos of the bride; some work and some don't in capturing the "character" of the bride using lighting and composition. This book is also enjoyable to look at. After reading the explanations of how the shots were created I doubt that I will look at good wedding photos without an appreciation of what the photographer did to make them happen. It's another good photography book that should give the average person a jump start into taking better than average photos at a wedding. (Bonus points if your wife catches you reading it!)
Outdated, but only printed last year!
I am new to Wedding photography and picked up this book at my local library. First off if you are a "photojournalist" do not bother investing your money in this book. This book focuses more on chessy formal shots, that look like they are from the 1980's. What is more suprising was when I found out this book was made only last year. It's severely outdated style wise and not for the modern photographer.
The only thing I took from this book was the contract and business information. At least that was something that can not go out of date.
Best yet!
I have read so many books about wedding photography by now but this one is the best yet! It is well explained, very easy to understand. It covers everything thats important to know, shows great images to go along with the text and gives you great ideas! I encourage you to read this!
Great Wedding Photography Guide
I have been a photographer most of my life, and a wedding photographer for four years now. When I purchased this book, I expected to see good examples of things to shoot at weddings, receptions,etc. To my surprise, I found that Mr. Ferro walks the reader through every aspect of wedding photography in a way that makes you feel as if he's sitting and talking with you face-to-face. For anyone serious about wedding photography as a business, this book needs to be in your library!
