Topics covered include equipment selection and usage; scheduling digital prewedding, wedding day, and postwedding sessions; managing the workload; and using digital proofs. Photographers learn how to market their images-from dealing with client questions to pricing images-and how to use digital imaging software to make easy and effective corrections to flawed images. Providing practical information on running a profitable photography business, this book also gives important technical instruction that will help photographers embrace technology and realize the true potential and profit of their art. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of the worst!This is a book about marketing NOT photography! If you want to know about the business side of it, this is the book to get, otherwise forget it. It's a waste of money! Rating: - A Monumental Waste of $30My wife and I are long-time photographers (digital and film) who are planning on adding wedding photography to our resumes. We found this book to be useless. Consider the title: Professional Techniques for Digital Wedding Photography. First, there is very little content in this book that would qualify as a "professional technique." In fact, only a handful of pages are dedicated to any sort of photographic technique. Second, much of the book is wasted trying to convince the reader ... Read More Rating:  - Focus is on the Business of PhotographyDo not look at this book if you are interested in improving your photography. I has a few "tricks" for making some slick modern looking images in post production, but there is little to no mention of capturing the images on the day of the wedding. However, I would HIGHLY RECCOMEND this book to professional photographers looking to actually run their business like a business. Although some of the sales techniques in this book are "high pressure" they can easily be tuned down to fit the individual photographer's ... Read More Rating: - It's not about photography, it's about imaging and marketingThe book starts by highlighting the savings a studio can realize on film, developing, proofs, etc. and then goes on to outline the $30,000 to $40,000 investment needed (not including employees and computer consultants) to purchase digital cameras, computers, archival printers, multiple software titles, etc, etc needed for digital wedding photography! And, of course, all of this equipment needs to be replaced every 5 years, as technology continues to suck up your profits. I am sick of seeing a lousy fake B&W photograph ... Read More Rating:  - Not enough contentThis book spends too much time telling us obvious things like "take baby steps", "set obtainable goals" and "make a plan" and "write your plan down". This book would be better if the authors had spent more time actually discussing specific types of digital gear. It would have also been nice if they had discussed the gear they use, and how they converted their studio from film to digital. This book is just so THIN on meaningful content.
