Take control of your digital
photography and learn the skills and techniques required to record once-in-a-lifetime events–weddings. This beautifully illustrated guide by pro photographer Suzy Clement will help you conquer the fundamentals and take authentic and memorable shots that capture the essence of the day.
Clement starts with the basics–exposure, metering, composition, lighting, depth of field, and motion blur and panning–and covers the key camera features that affect your image. She provides expert advice and techniques for each stage of the day, breaking down the demands into manageable portions, with advice on moments to watch for, must-have shots, and how to bring your own unique artistic expression to the event.
Follow along with this friendly and knowledgeable guide and you will:
- Understand how to create a schedule for the day’s photography, prepare for the shoot, and effectively scout the site before the wedding
- Learn tips for packing your bag, lens choices, lighting options, and working in black and white or color
- Find the story of the wedding day as it unfolds–getting dressed, the ceremony, bride and groom and group portraits, the reception, wedding details, guests, departure–and use your limited time effectively
- Master the techniques for organizing and presenting your images to the couple after the wedding, including editing down, categorizing images, and using online versus hard copy proofs
And once you’ve got the shot, show it off! Join the book’s Flickr group, share your wedding photos, and discuss how you used your camera at flickr.com/groups/weddingsfromsnapshotstogreatshots.

A friend of mine is getting married this coming May and asked me if I would photograph the wedding. I've done some photography in the past, but was a bit nervous because I wanted to do a great job, but wasn't sure if I could pull it off. I saw Suzy Clement's book and decided to give it a try- and I'm so glad I did. There are so many things that I didn't realize I needed to do, like scout the location beforehand, sit my friend down and ask her what she envisions, and back-up plans. I was going to do the shoot in an organic way, but now after reading the book, I've changed my plan. I have my lists, my preparations and the vision of how this will all work out. I would say that this is a great and inexpensive resource for anyone who wants to up the ante on wedding photography.

I love this book! I bought it because a friend of mine asked me to shoot her wedding, and not being a wedding photographer I wanted to be as prepared as possible. What I quickly realized when I started reading was that this book is useful for much more than just shooting weddings. Suzy Clement has a lot of experience and she conveys information in a clear, friendly, understandable, and impressively comprehensive manner. She discusses everything from gear and lighting to setting up shots and presenting final images. She breaks down a wedding day into a series of small events (getting ready, processional, ceremony, toasts, etc.) and explains what she looks for and how she approaches each of these mini-events. She also does something she calls "poring over the picture" in which she shows a beautiful image associated with each mini-event and describes, using small text on picture explanations, how and why she made certain decisions when making the shot. She also labels every image in the book (and the book is filled with pictures to accompany her discussion) with the camera settings and lens choice used for that shot. She ends each chapter with a short homework assignment that allows you to put to use the lessons from that chapter.
Overall, this is definitely one of my favorite photography books. I have literally found myself highlighting it as if I were back in school! Each chapter is well organized and the information is easy to find and understand. She provides so many useful tips that truly apply to photography in general, not just weddings.
If you are interested in learning about photography and wish to develop your eye so you can bring out the beauty in your subject, whatever you are shooting, you will love this book.
