Synopsis: In this guidebook, acclaimed and award-winning wedding photojournalist Tracy Dorr shows professional and aspiring photographers how to investigate and chronicle every important nuance of the wedding day. From artfully documenting the emotionally-charged preparations and the soulful and serious ceremony to the buoyant bliss of the reception, readers are given an in-depth look at what it takes to capture the meaningful moments of the day to create images that tell the unique story of the bride and groom's day. Readers are given complete instruction on how to hone interpersonal skills to ensure that subjects will feel at ease, work through crowds and tune out distractions, position oneself to capture the key shots, and develop an eye for identifying those folks outside of the wedding party who mean the most to bride and groom. Additional chapters focus on the business side of professional photography, breaking down topics such as customer service, sales, and postproduction, to ensure a healthy and successful career.
