Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Glen Johnson's book covers every possible aspect of wedding photography: Equipment, Planning, Must-take shots, How to charge and What to pack if you're off somewhere exotic (Watch out for diarrhoea!). The trouble for me, a reasonably competent amateur, was that there was too much I knew already. I know that I need a wide angle lens if I'm shooting in a tight space. I know that aperture controls depth of field. I understand the 'rule of thirds'. These are basics which relate to all aspects of photography - not just weddings. I hoped for more insight into how to take my wedding photography to a higher level but instead found myself looking at a diagram showing where to stand when the cake is being cut - in front of the other guests and slightly to the left. Really? A good reference for someone new to photography and shooting their first wedding, but it wasn't for me. Crucially, I found most of the images in the book to be good, but not great.

Format:Paperback
First book I've read about wedding photography and still the best after reading a few more. Gives a very complete overview of wedding photography without covering too much of the basic photography stuff. Aimed at American wedding traditions but the principles are easily applied to the local habits. Other wedding books were more photo albums giving you very little insight in wedding photography. Glen Johnson's book does give you this insight.

Format:Paperback
The book is great it covers everything you could want to know about wedding photography. It even includes things you didn't even know you needed to know! It is the most useful book on Wedding photography I have found (and I have been through a few!). If only I had found it earlier I would be richer and wiser.
If there is any criticism at all it is that some if it is a little Americanised, but that is understandable due to the American author and since there isn't a British version I will happily live with it.

Not bad, but I expected more.
A great 'manual' for beginners, it covers everything you need to know about wedding photography. For a seasoned photographer you'll find it covers a lot you already know. Read more
