LORD...I recently added up all the dollars I've spent on wedding photojournalism and bridal portraiture "how to" books and arrived at a figure north of six hundred bucks! This is in my top-five. The title is accurate. This very well-thought out and clearly-written guide actually
SHOWS either a fledgling or ultra-experienced wedding shooter HOW to do it. Short on fuzzy theory and long on great specifics, "Digital Wedding Photography" has not spent much time on my bookshelf collecting dust.
By the way, I do weddings and bridal engagement shots...plus formal bridal portraits...across Northern Virginia and in southern West Virginia from my base in Winchester, VA. I've been a photographer for 40 years. Let's phrase it (just for yucks) stiffly and judicially---"I, Christian Carswell, with Nikon D3 and D700 in tow, do solumnly swear that 'Digital Wedding Photography' should be required-reading"!
The BEST book on wedding photography that money can buy... November 19, 2008

I do not hesitate to claim that this book is absolutely the BEST overall book on wedding photography that can be purchased for an intermediate photographer looking to get into wedding photography. I'm slowly making the transition from being a landscape photographer to wedding photographer, and while I understand apertures and shutter speeds, there are various aspects to wedding photography that this book covers exceptionally well such as differing business models and types of wedding photography that someone coming from a different area of photography may be interested in learning more about.
I have been also extremely impressed with both the breadth of topics covered by this book as well as the depth of topics.
In fact, coming from someone who has read may books about varying areas of photography (even Ansel Adams' trilogy), I rank this book as one of the top. I find that this book has an excellent balance for the intermediate photographer looking to get into wedding photography. Additionally, this book is much longer than the other wedding books out there-- with 310 pages of information.
Well done Mr. Johnson.
