    • Unbelievable!!
I wish Ms. Cantrell would write more books. I loved this book. While I have been out of wedding photography for a few years, this book got me back in with a new, inspired vision. Not only does she cover the basics of how to shoot a great, realistic wedding, she discusses marketing, bridal shows, how to assemble an album, pricing, and equipment. Every one of her photos carries the camera type, lens used, film used and other details. Here's a hint even if you don't buy the book. Keep an antique wedding album in your display at bridal shows. How could you better communicate the value of photography with that kind of display. ... show more

    • Traditional and behind the times
This book's almost 5 years old now, and it's showing its age. Almost every photo in the book is taken with a medium format camera, 35mm cameras are rarely mentioned, and digital cameras aren't mentioned at all. To do things the way this book recommends you need an assistant and at least $15,000 worth of gear, minumum. You can extrapolate to work out how to do some of these things by yourself, but it's not mentioned. There are a lot of great inspirational photos in the book, with camera settings and instructions on how to reproduce them, often with your assistant helping with lighting. The book's squarely aimed at very traditional American weddings, but mentions other cultures in passing. Virtually no mention is made of the photojournalism style, the phrase is mentioned, but that's all. If you've never done a wedding, this book will give you one useful viewpoint, but it's not a single book that will teach you how to take photos at a wedding. Some important topics, such as hwo to take photos of the actual ceremony, are touched on but not in the depth that I would have liked. If you want to take traditional pictures, this book, along with others to compliment it, is for you. ... show more

    • Excellent!
The author is a top notch photographer, whose work is outstanding. She is a much admired wedding, portrait and fashion photographer, and a Nikon Ambassador. She has much to offer.

    • A good book for the beginner
I've been an amateur photographer for many years but have never shot a wedding. Recently a friend asked me to shoot his wedding and how could I refuse? So, off I go to Amazon to look for a book on the subject. With this book I wasn't disapointed. It tends to be focused on people with general photography knowledge and does go to deep into the technical. Instead, it focuses more on what to shoot and when and where. This is exactly what I needed. The book is written in a manner that is easy to read without being a "Dummy" book. The photos illustrate the points well. The book also talks a lot about a photographers conduct at a wedding. This was a huge benefit for me. I wish professional conduct would be discussed more in photography. Without it we all suffer. If you need a good sound guide on the subject of wedding photography I don't thing you can go wrong with this one. ... show more

    • Better than most...
Get this one! There are scads of average books out there on every subject in photography. Most are dry, dull and a waste of ink and paper. This one opens a window into the soul of the author (well, the photographer.. I think the actual writer was the co-author.) I have the distinct impression this is an expression of joy and enthusiasm from someone who started by doing what she loved and then slowed down long enough to write about it. ... show more

    • What a deal!!
Borrowed this book from a friend and ended up on two different islands here in Hawaii. It was cheaper for me to buy him this book and drop ship it to him than it would have been for me to send it via USPS to him from me. Now both of us have this in our library of photography books! YAY!!

    • Waaay too old material !
I was disappointed with the book because it was first published in the year 2000 and apparently it hasn't been updated ever since. The book talks a lot about how to abtain your best results using films! It stresses the importance of not worrying about saving films, it advises the photographer to shoot as much as possible - I doubt that is ever a worry for today's digital shooters. Wanna have an idea about how out-dated that is? Page 116 :" ...In the mid 1990's Bambi made the decision to go proofless(...)To use Montage, send your film to the lab and ask them to put the images on a CD, or scan the negatives into electronic form yourself" - That was one of the "hottest" pieces of advice on the book! The pictures are ok, nothing really impressive - It might work well for a beginner, though! ... show more

    • There's better
I agree that this book is getting long in the tooth. Its completely film based and frankly its not that informative. You've got a lot of nice, if dated, pictures and a few cute comments next to each picture. Comments such as, "Don't worry about how much film you're using. You're goal is to capture the excitement, sensitivity, and passion of the ceremony"(p56). That's about as good as it gets unless your looking for some info on the film types that she likes; or you want to hear for the twentieth time how much she likes her Hasselblad fisheye. I also own wedding books by Bell and Johnson which I feel are much better whether you're a novice or have some experience. ... show more
