There is more to Wedding Photography than "taking pictures!" After years of working as a professional wedding photographer, and over twenty years of publishing a successful wedding planning magazine, Bill Cory takes us on a whirlwind tour of a wedding day, what it's all about, what happens, when it happens, where the photographer should be when it happens, how to anticipate the best shots, follow the current trends , and deliver a beautiful set of images.
Originally published in 2003, now updated for 2011, the amazing thing about weddings is this: Fashions and colors go through trendy changes, and equipment has become more advanced — but the weddings and receptions themselves haven't changed for decades (except they're a lot more fun for everyone than they were ten, twenty, or thirty years ago).
Modern weddings are relaxed, with a casual attitude wrapped up in beautiful formal clothing — or, not! The current trend in weddings lends itself perfectly to newcomers in wedding photography, amateurs shooting weddings for friends, and so forth. The main thing is to "be there" and shoot relentlessly — but for details about what and when to shoot, this little 80 page book will be just the ticket. Tips and techniques rarely shared by pro's fill the pages. You won't be disappointed!
