This is a MUST BUY for EVERY bride. Whether your photography plans are a disposable camera or a carriage-trade professional photographer, Steve Sint tells brides how to get the best wedding pictures. Even if you're already hired a photographer, he tells you how to stand, how to wear your hair and makeup, how to choose a wedding gown, even how to walk in it, to ensure that you get the best photos possible. As Steve says in his book, the ring and the photos are about all you'll still have 50 years later, so choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions made by every bride. Don't forget -- Steve literally wrote the book on wedding photography. His "Wedding Photography: Art, Business and Style" is the Bible of weddding photographers across the country. Now he shares his expertise with the bride. This book should become as standard as a copy of Bride magazine. As a professional writer and part-time professional photographer, I highly recommend this book.

This book is great, it really helped me with my wedding plans, more than just picking photographers, it also has other suggestions about flowers, gowns, and timing for the day. The author obviously knows what he is talking about and knows the bride's concerns. Also, there are beautiful pictures. It looks like a fancy magazine. I am so happy I bought this book. Even my fiance read parts of it. I recommend this to anyone planning a wedding whether it is big or small. This covers it all and gives practical advice.

The author spares no detail with his complete guide for the perfect wedding memories all the way to making sure everyone looks their best within any budget.

His clear, relaxed writing style never speaks down to the reader and kept me interested from beginning to end. There are countless ideas, lists, and suggestions that are paired with great photos to demonstrate his recommendations throughout.

I bought this book as a gift for my niece since she is getting married. And, because I am my families "official photographer" she asked me to help. Now, after reading it cover to cover, I will have to buy her a second copy so that my gift to her is brand new and not dog-eared.

The book is jam packed with great information. It can be helpful to all brides whether they hire a professional or just have a relative (like me!) or a friend take their
pictures. The author went so far as to include info on wedding gowns, flower options and simple things that can make a big difference, like how to stand to look your best. I just loved all the pictures in this book. It gave me lots of ideas to work with. Every bride should have this on their bridal registry wish list.... and any photographer (pro or otherwise) should have one too.
