From the history of photography and how to shoot wedding portraits to creating stylish albums and working with digital output, everything a wedding photographer needs to know is included in this all-encompassing manual. Photographers are provided with a shooting guide that walks them through the wedding day and offers advice on a variety of topics–including integrating detail, capturing the walk down the aisle, working in and out of doors, and finding and illustrating key relationships. Traditional and “in” methods of wedding photography are depicted in an educational timeline that explores past, present, and future trends in the field; current photo manipulation software, such as Adobe Photoshop and compatible plug-ins, are also discussed. Emphasis is placed on client interaction both before and after the big day, transforming prints into fine arts products, and developing and fine-tuning a creative shooting style.

What is your fool-proof, can't-live-without secret that works for professional wedding photography?
Ask the client what they are looking for. Use your smarts - don't shoot up at people on the alter, for example - you wind up with unflattering shots up people's noses.
Make sure to take photos other than formals. Formals are nice, but that quiet moment after the ceremony where they look at each other is nicer.
You don't say if you're the bride or the photographer - the advice would be better if we knew.
Make sure that you look at people before you shoot. It the father of the groom had a big hairy mole on the left side of his face, switch the bride and groom so that side is away from the camera. If you look before you line them up, it's much less embarrassing.

Ok, so I'm 16 girl and very interested in photography which I why I'm so pleased to be assisting a guy i know next month doing a wedding shoot, as my first job.
I'm going to be helping him out big time and at the same time he is going to teach me a bit of photography. Just one thing, what on earth should I wear? any tips - do you think a suit is best or is something a little more casual ok?
thanks for your time! x
Me and my wife always match in color. Maybe you could match the main photographer. Normally we wear a nice black shirty (with our company name on the pocket) and khaki pants. Normally you should be in darker colors so as to not distract from the ceremony. At beach ceremonies we wear white shirts with khaki since the lighting is much brighter. Just my two cents. You could wear black slacks if you like as well. Matter of preference I presume. Make sure whatever you wear that it is something that you can move in. For men, those who wear jackets might be limited in range of motion which could make a shot a bit harder to get.

A no-nonsense guide that shows how to make quick, efficient work of getting beautiful, high-quality, cutting-edge, and traditional shots from the pre-ceremony through the reception, this manual offers techniques for capturing the key players and moments of the big day. Unlike other photography books that present a more theoretical or technical approach to photographing a wedding, this resource focuses on the specific steps photographers should take, streamlining their process for effective management at the wedding. A recommended time line shows when to photograph the various portrait the clients expect after the ceremony–the bride and groom, best man and groom, maid of honor and bride, couple and their parents, attendants, extended family, and others. Simple technical tips for supplementing existing light and setting up and orchestrating the many shots accurately and effortlessly are also included.
I'm an amateur wedding photographer, and I've seen some photography where the images are so clear and crisp. How do I achieve something like that?
Is it the camera type? The ISO? Lighting?
I shoot with a Pentax K100 D Super. Please see my portfolio and tell me what you think I need to work on, or how I can achieve more professional photography.

Thank you!
I just check your portfolio… your pictures have terrible quality… You have some nice ideas for wedding photos, pictures are not bad, I would say much better than most of the wedding "photographers" (read money makers) I know… but you MUST start thinking about better equipment… pentax is not a equipment for you.. you need better camera, and better lenses… camera for start: even one of the cheaper canon brand Rebel XTI or XTS but lenses only Top Shelf Lseries… I know its not cheap but wedding photographer making good money so let call this investment 
than you`ll have better quality pictures, and start shoot in RAW and than process them to JPG….
