Book Description

October 27, 2009
A behind-the-scenes look at master wedding photographer Joe Buissink’s acclaimed style


"There’s no such thing as a perfect image–only a perfect moment," says Joe Buissink, one of American Photo’s Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World. In Wedding Photography from the Heart, the premier photographer gives us an inside look at how he captures the feeling of a couple’s wedding, seeing the moments from their perspectives and hearts.

Here, for the first time, are more than 150 of his stunning images–including many from celebrity weddings–accompanied by creative techniques, inspiration, and unparalleled advice. Joe brings us into his creative process, emphasizing "learning to see"–training yourself to anticipate the moments that matter–and, most important, developing a relationship of complete trust with your clients.

His goal is not necessarily to take technically perfect photos, but to capture the right moments, transforming intimate, emotional memories into timeless images.

A must-have for all professional, semipro, and aspiring wedding photographers–as well as brides and grooms looking for inspiration–Wedding Photography from the Heart reveals how to create wedding photographs that will, even decades later, capture the joy of a couple’s wedding day.

I just received my book two nights ago, and sat down and read the entire book in one night! This book has some stunning photos, and contains great information and tips for photographers who want to capture the most beautiful and intimate moments of a wedding. Joe's advice is practical and uncomplicated, which I love. Everything from lighting to equipment to how to gain your clients' trust and capture people in their natural states is included in this book, which is truly an enjoyable book to read. It isn't too heavy on jargon/technique and is easy to navigate through to find the topics you are most interested in. I'm very happy I purchased this book and send my congrats to Joe on a job very well done - as always! I continue to be a raving fan!

I Love Joe Buissink's Style January 17, 2010
By A. Lyle
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been an avid fan of Joe Buissink for several years now, attempting to emulate much of what he does when I shoot. A little disappointed, I guess, in the book. Not so much "creative techniques" but stories Joe tells about some of his favorite images. Am I glad I own the book? Absolutely. Do I wish it was a little heavier on creative technique, of course. His voice was inside my head at the last wedding I shot, reminding me WHERE to look to get the shots. Would I purchase it again? Yes. His imagery is incredibly inspiring.

Best Wedding Book for Pros February 9, 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is great if you already know the technical aspects of photography. Joe talks about how to look for moments and record the wedding day in a way that will make the wedding couple feel the memories every time they look at the album. The images alone are worth the cost of the book. It really makes you think about concerning yourself with getting the moments and not worrying as much about technical perfection. Seeing that images he provides to celebrity clients are often not perfectly focused and are full of grain, really illustrates this. I fully recommend this book.
