5 out of 5 stars A superb guide to newbies and experienced photographers   January 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is a regular fountain of knowledge! Having attended weddings as a bag carrier to another exceptional photographer, I thought I was starting to understand the process and the opportunities presented to a photographer quite well.

I didn't expect this book to tell me much more than I was seeing and hearing... WRONG!!! Mark has taken a very complex activity and staged a book that is readable, incredibly informative and all encompassing. I am soon to be out in the world photographing weddings for myself, as scary and as daunting as that is, having Mark's book as a reminder, guide and expert teacher is a great comfort. The only thing better would be having Mark with me on the day ;o)

If you want a book that gives you an opportunity to learn, buy it. If you want a book that will keep you on your toes, buy it. If you want a book as a reference material that you can keep going back to for inspiration, buy it.

If you think you know everything already... write your own book, then when you realise what you don't know, buy it!

In summary, a good read, amazing content, you can't go wrong.



2 out of 5 stars Disappointed   December 22, 2007

Yes I was disappointed when I read this book. I don't think he has chosen his best images to appear and the content is predictable.

In the world of wedding photography and how to approach the market and your bridal couples, there are much better books to choose. Have a look at Marcus Bell as my first choice.

I've got the book, it'll sit on my shelf but mostly won't be brought down again - I much prefer to wander around his website - that's a much better reference for me. I realise that it doesn't provide analysis of images or any 'how to's', but that's OK.



5 out of 5 stars An Honest and Generous Guide   December 11, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a great book on Wedding Photography; loads of really useful tips and advice for the photographer delivered in a concise and clear way. What impressed me most is the amount of 'nitty gritty' detail and real-world examples which are followed through step-by-step, not just a picture book full of excellent shots. This honest approach to the craft comes as a welcome change to many of the books on photography that I have read.


5 out of 5 stars AT LAST - a real book on wedding photography   December 10, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you are interested in REAL wedding photography, you REALLY WILL benefit from this book.
There are so many books out there about wedding photography - but this one has been written by a REAL wedding photographer that knows how to do it in the circumstances that present themselves at REAL Weddings.
Read it, learn from it, put it into practice and you will be a successful - and happy - wedding photographer!

Would Mr Cleghorn please go to the top of the class.
At last, a very informative wedding photography book that stands head and shoulders above the rest.
It's very clear, concise and logically sequenced. You just know straight away that it's written by someone who's been there, seen it and done it.
If you're struggling to find a book that will really help to improve your wedding photography skills, look no further, you've just found it.
