Product details

Product Description
Synopsis
Capture the Moment is unique, as it will prove invaluable to both bride-to-be and photographer. This book is full of useful advice to make photographers think about position, timing and what to look out for, as well as fundamentals such as where to advertise. For the bride-to-be it will not only be a source of inspiration, but will provide hundreds of valuable tips on how to find the right photographer and get the end results she is looking for. Stunning, contemporary images throughout help visually tell the story. Chapters include Before the Wedding (the bride preparing; details; bridesmaids and mother of the bride), The Wedding (arrival; ceremony; outside the church; leaving the venue), and Reception (family group photos; portraits of the couple; photographing guests; flowers; cutting the cake; speeches; dancing). Also discussed is the equipment used, what is involved in the preparation and planning stages, and what to expect during the meeting and booking stages.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book I always turn to for inspiration., 26 Jun 2003
By David Murray (Cheshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've never met Stephen Swain, but i'd like to. This book is simply fantastic. The unique aspect of this book is that it also give a viewpoint from the brides perspective, this actually helps the reader understand what's required for wedding photography.
The pictures are inspirational, Stephen has a super style, pure photojournalism but he can also use complex techniques better than most when he needs to.
The writing is sharp, clear and to the point, with the brides perspective immediately next to the photographers perspective, a great idea.
Also with each photograph, there is information on camera used, flash used, iso used etc, so the reader can really understand how each picture happened.
My only problem, not a criticism, is that Stephen is a film based photographer an I have just moved to digital. But even if Stephen used digital equipment I would imagine he would have written the book in the same way.
This is certainly a book for both film and digital users.

Conclusion. I've got seven books on the subject, this is easily the best, nothing comes near.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book i've read on this subject, 17 Jul 2003
By DAVID MURRAY (ST HELENS, MERSEYSIDE United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have read this book lots of times and constantly go back to it as a reference guide.

It is refreshing because (and it works really well) you get to know viewpoints from both the bride and photographer. The views don't clash and I found it very beneficial to read what the bride is thinking and expecting.
Stephen is a fantastic photographer, a true photojournalist, this book is full of super images and important advice.
Although, at the time of writing Stephen was not using a digital camera (don't know if he is now) this book is of interest to users of both film and digital.

It starts with equipment, preparations, ceremony, the party, complete weddings and advice re:web sites and marketing.

I have read many of the current crop of wedding photography books, this is the best!

David Murray.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read, Good Info and value for money, 29 Oct 2003
I found this book to be really useful. From the day I got it I couldn't put it down !! It took me 48 hours from receiving it to finish it !

It contains a lot of truly inspiring pictures and gives all the technical info as well.

Worth the money.
