This $19.95 guide can potentially save you thousands of dollars on wedding photography.
Just because a couple doesn't have a lot of money doesn't mean they don't deserve quality, professional-looking wedding photos. Author James Booth says, "I was taught a long time ago that anything worth doing is worth doing well."
This was never truer than wedding photography, because the events in a wedding only happen once. If you're willing to take on the responsibility of shooting a wedding, then you have an obligation to do the best job possible.
Virtually everyone knows somebody that has a camera and these people are often called upon to fill the role of the wedding photographer when the budget is tight. In all likelihood, these friends or family members really have no idea how to go about shooting a wedding.
Does this mean the couple should have to settle for amateur photographs of the beginning of their life together? No, it doesn't.
Shooting a wedding isn't that difficult. It's basically just a series of staged shots that anyone can do with a bit of guidance. It’s the seriousness of the occasion that is the most intimidating factor.
In the ZATZ Solutions Guide Do-It-Yourself Wedding Photography, James Booth takes you through all the steps of photographing a wedding, from the prep-work, through pre-ceremony photography, the ceremony itself, the reception, and even how to prepare photos for the couple after the wedding.
