Creating a truly unique “storybook” wedding album involves combining black and white wedding candids with more traditional formal color photographs—as well as mementos and bits of text, poetry, and readings from the wedding. This book describes techniques to capture special moments at a wedding—intimate interactions, hugs, playfulness, and even tears. It also explains how to be unobtrusive by shooting with natural light and occasional flash. Instructions on how to market this unique style of wedding photography and portions of sample albums to use as models are included.

Barbara Box wrote and illustrated a wonderful book on sensitive wedding photography. Her keen eye captured moments overlooked by most wedding photographers. Her images are priceless glimpses into the "true" events on a wedding day. This book is inspirational and should be a part of every wedding photographers collection.

That just happens to be the best picture you will find in this book, It rambles on and on about nothing and the pictures quickly get very very boring after seeing the fifth hand close-up, don't be fooled by the image and title, you learn very little "storytelling" here. Save your money and buy something else. This author may shoot weddings but she's a total amateur and snapshot artist. I hate this book

What a waste of money! I read a negative review by another reader and STILL bought the book --- BIG mistake. The cover design is beautiful and that's what probably fools hundreds of people. The content is a total disaster!
There are MAYBE five good shots of over 100 featured. The author obviously knows nothing about photojournalism and very little about photography in general. Plus, her writing style is on grade school level and the photography tips are... ugh...
I feel sorry for all those brides who hired her to document their big day. I'm sure they'll have some "storytelling" to share.
I got another book by the same publisher: Amhest Media - it's also going back TODAY. Is seems like low quality is their standard.
For solid advice and excellent photography examples, choose The Art of Wedding Photography by Bambi Cantrell. The quality of the editorial is excellent, ditto for the photos.
If you still don't believe me, go ahead and buy the Barbara Box disaster book. You'll see for yourself.

You've got to be kidding, this book ...
There's no doubt this book will give a different perspective but there are other books that will do the same thing, look for Bambi Cantrell or Philippe Cheng for a real wedding... Read more

Good Book
This book shows photography from another perspective. It helped me to be more creative in my own style and gave me more ideas. Good book to have in your library.

Again what other readers have said, you will learn nothing from this book, I felt like I was reading a diary, I was looking for more technical information, the pictures themselves... Read more

I want my money back!
Barbra Box did write a book that was laid out nicely, and easy to follow. The book did have a strategy, a goal and purpose, and to that end it was successful. Read more
