5.0 out of 5 stars Wedding Photography, April 13, 2006

By	Robert J. Wasiczko - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked this book up in the book store
And started to thumb through it
The more I read, the more convinced
I was, that I needed this book
Steve Sint presents a no nonsense approach to the subject
Many authors tell you what you should do
but not how to do it
An example, is the chapter on Flash photography
He explains why he uses the flash in the manual mode
and the exact settings he uses
Most authors leave out all the details
This is a great book
at a reasonable price

4.0 out of 5 stars For Business and Pleasure, July 17, 2006

By	J. Giles "Photo Geek" (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those of you looking to enter into the world of wedding photography, I definately recommend reading this book. Steve Sint takes a no-nonsense approach to the business of wedding photography and reveals a darker side to what many look down upon as a cushy way to make some easy money. The book is easy to read and offers some light humour in a package that provides several tips on how to overcome the many challenges faced by wedding photographers including lighting, group shots, posing, selling yourself and your work, and much more. This book assumes you already have some photography experience so if you are new to the craft it may not offer the photography basics that you should be starting with. Wedding Photography: Art, Business and Style would be a great resource for those of you with some photography experience who are considering stepping into the shoes of a wedding photographer OR photographers who have shot a few weddings and are looking for suggestions for overcoming the challenges associated with the profession.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good basic information well presented., August 5, 2006

By	David Asche "ATLDC9" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author has done a wonderful job of presenting all the basics of good wedding photography in an easy to understand format. Great practical examples and by far the most complete text I have read. Most photography books seem to be a bit light on meaningful content and just give tips this is a start to finish course on shooting a wedding.
