Wedding Photography: Creative Techniques for Lighting and Posing

by Rick Ferro

Wedding photography is one of the biggest markets in professional photography, and one of the most challenging. Detailing every aspect of wedding photography, from the prewedding consultations to techniques for nonobtrusive coverage of the ceremony, this book serves as a guide through portraiture of the bride in the studio, the couple, the ceremony, the wedding party, and the newlyweds' families. Written for both professionals and amateurs looking for creative ways to set their work apart from others, this book explains how to create a list of special people and shots the bride and groom want, shoot dramatic and flattering images of the bride in the studio, and pose and shoot photos of the couple at the altar.

This book has a few good morsels of information but you're going to have to wade through a lot of really dated material to find it. It was well written for its time, however a photographer who uses this book to produce images like the ones shown inside and on the cover would likely appeal to very few modern couples. There is a newer (3rd I believe) edition that hopefully has more current techniques but I haven't read that one yet.

Used this for a friend's wedding. Good reminders of different poses and groupings. Simplistic and easy to follow. Great for amateurs taking pictures at weddings for friends and family.
