From the history of photography and how to shoot wedding portraits to creating stylish albums and working with digital output, everything a wedding photographer needs to know is included in this all-encompassing manual. Photographers are provided with a shooting guide that walks them through the wedding day and offers advice on a variety of topics—including integrating detail, capturing the walk down the aisle, working in and out of doors, and finding and illustrating key relationships. Traditional and “in” methods of wedding photography are depicted in an educational timeline that explores past, present, and future trends in the field; current photo manipulation software, such as Adobe Photoshop and compatible plug-ins, are also discussed. Emphasis is placed on client interaction both before and after the big day, transforming prints into fine arts products, and developing and fine-tuning a creative shooting style.

This book is one worth reading over and over again.I like the author's advice especially on his workflow.All his style are very practical and easy to follow.This book is not a step by step kind of book but rather guide you on how to come up with your own style.His advice on how to market yourself or to book that client right away is more than what you pay on this book.

Marcus Bell gives us his perspective on this multi-faceted career. Don't expect to master the spectrum of wedding photography from any book. This author provides guidelines, along with his personal philosophy. This is a magazine-style book of 124 pages. A lot of space is taken up by images. What you come home with is some food for thought.

Marcus Bell is an accomplished wedding photographer based in Australia. In this book, he discuss about his story, style and business. Bell discusses how he combines landscape, human interest and photojournalism into his style.
Like other wedding photography book, Bell discusses typical walk through of a wedding with plenty images. Instead of a diagram, Bell shows how he positioned himself in a third person view which is very useful.
For Bell, shooting wedding is only 1/3 of the job. Bell also stressed on the important of digital image editing and printing. Having a clear pre-visualization and choosing medium for print is crucial.
Bell also give some tips about business, studio design and sales tip based on his own experience running Studio Impressions. Lastly, Bell discuss about equipments he used on his typical wedding job.
This book does not discuss about technical aspect of shooting a wedding, such as what lens to use, what camera setting to use, etc. So that it is not very suitable for beginners. However, for aspiring wedding photographer or seasoned photographer who want to get to know highly artistic and successful master photographer, this book will give you many insights to improve your craft.
