Customer Reviews

Great Wedding Photography Book!

This book has excellent recommendations and techniques for capturing the most beautiful wedding photos. The pictures published in this book alone are worth the cost of the book, IMO. They are beautiful and give great ideas. She tells you exactly how she captured the photo although I would've liked some more technical info on some of the photos. I highly recommend this book.

The best wedding photography book I own!

As a wedding photographer, I tend to collect books like this one. But this one is AWESOME. It has specific recommendations on exactly which lenses to take, as well as other incidentals to pack in your gear. It also tells you the exact settings/lens used for each photo in the book, AND it tells you what extra work was done in Photoshop. I rarely read technical books cover to cover, but this one I did!

All you need to know

Bambi Cantrell is, quite simply, a legend in the wedding photography industry, both as a shooter and educator. Skip Cohen has impressive credentials of his own, as president of Hasselblad USA, and now a guiding force of The Rangefinder Magazine and WPPI. If there is anything about wedding photography that these two luminaries don't know, it's not worth knowing. That's why I was so pleased to see just how successful their collaboration was in this book. It showcases gorgeous photos, features useful professional tips, and provides an inspiring basis for raising the bar on the quality of your work. It's suitable both for new photographers looking for an introduction, and for wedding veterans who want to add useful techniques to their repertoires. Highly recommended.

An amazing book & worth the LONG LONG wait!!

The person who wrote that horrible review for Bambi's new book is clearly an idiot!! I'm impressed with the flow, the writing and the images featured in this new book. My only complaint is that it took 2 years to actually be released, the suspence was enough to kill a person! Compared to her first book, this one has all new images, new ideas and new advice. I've been a pro wedding photojournalist for 6 years now and from a professional stand point I learned a number of things from it. It's also written in a way that anyone interested in becoming a photographer could understand. I highly recommend this book, pay no mind to the fool talking smack... he's just jealous! :o)
