Amhearst How to Take Great Digital Photos of Your Friend's Wedding by Patrick Rice

While most brides and grooms trust a trained professional to document their important day, great snapshots from their friends and families are always appreciated. In this book, you'll learn how to take those "extras" the couple will cherish.

Award-winning wedding photographer Patrick Rice shows you how to avoid common problems and create images that the professional photographer might not get. For instance, while the pro is busy shooting the couple cutting the cake, you might focus on the kids eagerly waiting to taste a slice. Rice also provides the technical know-how you need to take more pleasing images, including tips on posing, lighting, and composition.

Packed with helpful tips for amateur shooters, this book will help you come home from the wedding with images that you—and the couple—will love.

Features:

• What to look for on the wedding day, including great photo opportunities at the ceremony and reception
• Tips for finding the right lighting and choosing the right composition to create more powerful images of any subject
• Using digital imaging to refine your images after the wedding—and tips for presenting your photographs to the couple
