In contrast to a traditional wedding photographer, a wedding
photojournalist works unobtrusively to capture the "real life" flavor of
the special event as it unfolds, and this guidebook addresses the unique
challenges and specific preparations required to excel in this field.
Calling upon the best and brightest photojournalists to share their
images and insights, this updated edition reveals the secrets for
capturing all the breathtaking exchanges between the personalities, so
that the photographs tell a story rich in detail. Many topics are also
covered, such as how to meet and mingle with the main players at a
wedding, what to expect in terms of a timeline, what shots cannot be
missed, and how to minimize the distractions of flashes, bulky
equipment, and verbal requests. Before, during, and after the
ceremony--indoors and out--this volume is brimming with advice for every
aspect of the shoot, including selecting equipment and lighting, working
with an assistant, properly archiving digital files, and selecting a
beautiful heirloom-quality album design.
