Book Reviews of Wedding Photographer's Handbook
Book Review: Gorgeous, inspirational photos but not much detail.
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a photographer with a passion and an eye, but not too much technical training and definitely far from what I would consider professional. I usually shoot in automatic mode because I'm not as comfortable in the other modes and the only lens I have is the one that came with my digital SLR. Still, I shot a few weddings years ago and was asked to shoot a friend's sister wedding this coming summer. I decided to use this as an excuse to brush up on my skills and expand my equipment. I wanted to be informed going into the wedding and was especially interested in learning about what sort of equipment I should be considering. I decided to buy this book and the Digital Wedding Photography: Capturing Beautiful Memories. The books arrived in the same shipment and as I flipped through the books, I immediately could tell that if I had seen both of these in bookstores before I purchased them, I would have probably just purchased the other book, "Digital Wedding Photography:..." . It is significantly longer and almost looks like a text book with clearly outlined content. I prepared myself with post-its to mark up important things to refer to as I read the books to reference later.
I read this book by Hunter first and fairly quickly. It's a lot shorter and while their photos are far superior, offers a more top-level, general introduction to the world of wedding photography. I only placed 3 post-its in this book.
Then I read the other book by Glen Johnson and discovered that my first impression was spot-on: it was much more detailed. The actual photography in the Johnson book was not as creative as the photos in the Hunter book so I ended up being glad that I got both, although I value the information I received in the Johnson book over the inspiration I received from the Hunter book since I could probably find similar inspiration by looking at images online.
Overall, I would recommend you buy Digital Wedding Photography: Capturing Beautiful Memories instead if you're looking for detailed information. If you just want general information and are more interested in inspirational shots, then go with this book instead.
