Product Description

Product Description

The way I work on a wedding day, my style as a photographer and the approach I take when communicating with my clients are all about empathy with my couples - from the first time we meet to the day they receive their album.

Having empathy enables me to shoot not just from my own view as a photographer but from their point of view. I'm their eyes for the day, so what I choose to see and how I choose to see it must be in tune with what they would want to see. Listening to your clients and understanding what they are all about enables you to create beautiful images that will connect with them.

There are many different approaches to wedding photojournalism. My approach is to shoot images that tell a very personal story. I do not want to be an outsider looking in; I want to be an insider, a trusted person who people relax with, so that they're being themselves and acting naturally and I can capture a truthful image of them and their story, that others will recognise and that they will cherish.

It is this empathy and involvement, blended with a unique style, that both sets you apart as a photographer and ensures you have satisfied clients.

I often get asked "Do you not get sick of weddings?" To me it's like asking a professional sportsman if he ever gets sick of football, tennis or running. The assumption held is that all weddings must be the same, an assessment which is just like assuming that any two tennis matches are the same. All weddings follow a similar formula by and large - there are preparations, a ceremony and a party - but the moments at each and every wedding are unique. It is this uniqueness that I'm interested in, and it's how you go about finding those images that this book is all about. A great picture can happen by chance, but if you want to shoot weddings week in and week out with consistent results, you need more than just luck. Being in the right place at the right time, great timing, and an image that tells a story are all things required in the pursuit of the great documentary wedding picture.

In this book I will describe to you each section of the wedding day in detail and how I go about photographing it, what I look for and how to tell a story in pictures.

From the Publisher

Wedding Photography - A Guide to Photojournalism is an in-depth guide to capturing wonderful and natural images at weddings. It is written for long standing professionals as well as those photographing a wedding for the very first time. In this remarkable book Kerry takes you through the wedding day as if you were actually with her. She explains the best vantage points in which to photograph and how to find great light.

"Feeling" an image is very important to Kerry as it ensures the bride and groom really connect with it and can "feel" you have empathy with their wedding. This leads to more referrals and bookings helping you grow your business.

The book has been sized to fit into your camera bag easily so should you need to have a sneek peak at it then you can quite easily.

I purchased this book as I'm an amateur 'tog who's been asked to shoot a friend's wedding and I'm nervous as hell! My friend isn't interested in posed shots, except for maybe a couple with immediate family so the in-laws have what they want, and that suits me just fine as I'm much more interested in shooting events as they unfold. I bought a wedding photography book by Mark Cleghorn a few years ago, and dug it out again with my friend's wedding I mind, but, despite finding it a useful book when I first bought it (before I'd really found my niche as a photographer), this time it just seemed s far removed from what I wanted to do. It listed shot after shot, how to pose the groups, what angles to take the shots from - brilliant if you're doing a traditional wedding shoot, but it filled me with dread. So I hit up Amazon to look for something a little more suited to me, and, despite being small, this book reaffirmed my belief that I can create beautiful wedding photos without posing everyone to within an inch of their life. I read it so quickly - it was honestly un-put-down-able! It's packed with useful info, ideas of things to look out for, tips on what to include and what not to include - but it doesn't hold your hand through the very first steps in photography, it assumes you know how to handle your camera and that you're maybe shooting your first weddings, rather than your first photos! Kerry Morgan writes in such a friendly, honest way - it's hard not to take something away from this book. And it's so small that you can easily re-read, and keep it in your camera bag as another essential accessory!

GREAT LITTLE BOOK 27 Sep 2010
I'm a professional photographer and in the past 5 years I've bought approximately 20 wedding photography books. All were good but this little book was the best by far. Don't be put off by its small size as the information contained within is great. If you fancy yourself as a documentary wedding photographer this is the book for you. Read this book and you will learn a lot. David

Good little book 17 April 2011
By Review
I really enjoyed reading this book. It gave me plenty of new ideas about how to photograph events. The book is well written and you can tell the author really cares about her work.

The pictures in the book are great but I wish the book was bigger so I could have a proper look at them. Maybe an A4 size book would have been a better format.
