Book excerpt: Modern couples often foot their own wedding bills, and many know exactly how they want their photographs to look and how much theyre prepared to pay for them. This has led to huge demand in cutting-edge photography and wedding photojournalism.This new style of wedding photography is all about telling the story of the wedding day by getting up close and intimate with the bride and groom, and their family and friends, without becoming intrusive. The art of capturing a split-second moment in time requires anticipation, an eye for composition, and a nose for the story. These are the key strengths for any reportage-style wedding photographer and Wedding Photography Now! clearly explains how, with a little practice, a good wedding photographer can become a great one.
