Now that the cost of the average wedding runs well into five figures, the job of capturing a complete record of this special day has become especially critical. Those who undertake it, even if they are not professional photographers, will want to be certain that they are fully equipped to deliver a finished album of the highest standards. To ensure the finest results, one need look no further than this superb practical manual, which is replete with examples of the very best work from around the world. Aimed at amateur and semi-professional photographers, the book begins with a discussion of available equipment; it then takes the reader through every phase of a wedding shoot--preparations and planning, locations and poses, the execution of the shoot, printing and work in the digital darkroom, designing an album--and concluding with a chapter on the business-end of wedding photography.
