Format:Paperback
As I continue to expand my collection of books on wedding photography I decided to give this one a try. Its been the most expensive so far and the least enjoyed. I havent taken the time to read through it word by word but i had a read through the first few chapters and then browsed the pictures ans although i wouldn't say its useless, its just missing the quality of the others. The way its layed out isnt so great looking and although some of the pictures are definetly a different style to my other books, i prefer the style of the others. So for ideas of different styles its fine, but if this was to be your one and only wedding book, not a great start.
Format:Paperback
This book has stunning images.
Explanations are sufficiently clear, and the techniques advanced, to benefit amateur and the more advanced photographer alike.
I've bought half a dozen books by this author and none of them have disappointed me; I believe you will find the same too.

Exactly what I was looking for!
16 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
I'm about 3/4 of the way through the first time, making a few notes as I go. This book is exactly what I was looking for. I'm a technically competent camera user. I've done dark room work in the past, and PhotoShop more currently. I'm an aging geek and amateur photographer and can handle the technology end just fine. I can recognize a good shot when I see one, but I've never done "People Photography" as other than casual shots or incidental to scenery.
This book gives great examples of the kinds of wedding photography currently popular. While it goes into some of the technical aspects of digital photograpy: work flow, RAW,color space, etc.; it covers "people techniques" such as appropriate camera height for portraiture, bust, and full body shots. It covers pose basics such as 7/8, and 3/4 head shots. Shoulders turned at an angle, head tilt differences for the bride verses the groom. Whether I make effective use of this book remains to be seen, but the information is just what I wanted.

Gorgeous, inspirational photos but not much detail.
30 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a photographer with a passion and an eye, but not too much technical training and definitely far from what I would consider professional. I usually shoot in automatic mode because I'm not as comfortable in the other modes and the only lens I have is the one that came with my digital SLR. Still, I shot a few weddings years ago and was asked to shoot a friend's sister wedding this coming summer. I decided to use this as an excuse to brush up on my skills and expand my equipment. I wanted to be informed going into the wedding and was especially interested in learning about what sort of equipment I should be considering. I decided to buy this book and the Digital Wedding Photography: Capturing Beautiful Memories. The books arrived in the same shipment and as I flipped through the books, I immediately could tell that if I had seen both of these in bookstores before I purchased them, I would have probably just purchased the other book, "Digital Wedding Photography:..." . It is significantly longer and almost looks like a text book with clearly outlined content. I prepared myself with post-its to mark up important things to refer to as I read the books to reference later.
I read this book by Hunter first and fairly quickly. It's a lot shorter and while their photos are far superior, offers a more top-level, general introduction to the world of wedding photography. I only placed 3 post-its in this book.
Then I read the other book by Glen Johnson and discovered that my first impression was spot-on: it was much more detailed. The actual photography in the Johnson book was not as creative as the photos in the Hunter book so I ended up being glad that I got both, although I value the information I received in the Johnson book over the inspiration I received from the Hunter book since I could probably find similar inspiration by looking at images online.
Overall, I would recommend you buy Digital Wedding Photography: Capturing Beautiful Memories instead if you're looking for detailed information. If you just want general information and are more interested in inspirational shots, then go with this book instead.
