  • Excellent, thoughtful advice from one of the best in the business
As a relative newcomer to the wedding photography industry, this book was incredibly helpful for me as I established my business. Unlike many photography books, this one is heavy on thorough, useful information and lite on pictures. Elizabeth Etienne's advice covers so much about running a photography business that most books about photography don't begin to address -- such as how to create working wedding photography timelines for each wedding so you stay on schedule (that alone makes this book worthwhile); when to go the extra mile for a client who truly values your work and when to turn down a manipulative client; what to do, business-wise, to set yourself apart from other photographers; and how to run client meetings as smoothly and professionally as possible. Moreover, the conversational tone of this book made it read like a personal tutoring session from a pro who truly wants to help upcoming photographers succeed in what she has learned is a difficult business. I plan to re-read this book every six months or so -- there was so much great advice in Profitable Wedding Photography that a regular refresher reading will be well worthwhile. ... show more

  • Interesting
This book had some good ideas, that I haven't found in other books on wedding photography. However it does spend too much time dwelling on the subject I did this.

  • A must have book for anyone starting out!
This is not a book about posing, this is a book about the business of wedding photography. From contract, meeting with clients, photography timelines, working with vendors, marketing and getting the shots, it's all here. This book was so incredibly insightful and helpful, I couldn't put it down. If there is a must have book in your library, this is definitely one of them. It's helpful even if you don't do weddings, much of the advice preparing contracts, gear, client meetings all applies to portrait work too. ... show more

  • thank you Elizabeth!!!
I have long been a fan of Elizabeth's photography and impressed by her ability to create such quality, editorial style imagery under the inherent demands and pressure of a wedding shoot. Now thanks to this book, I am given the behind the scenes breakdown on how she creates her 'magic'. This book is a wonderful guide to the business and art of wedding photography, and it covers every area in an organized and thorough manner. Thank you for sharing the fruits of your experience and talent with us! ... show more

  • Close to what I was looking for.
A family member was getting married and she didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a professional photographer and didn't care that I was only an amateur. Having a DSLR, I needed some guidance on what wedding photographers needed to be aware of. I skipped over all the marketing, business stuff, and zeroed in on the photography experiences. This book definitely helped me be aware of the hectic nature of weddings. Most important, a comprehensive "Shot List" and how to deal with people. I would recommend this book to someone starting a wedding photography business. ... show more

  • Good tips
She gave some good tips throughout the book, especially fir those brand new to the field. If you've been doing this for a while, you're going to have to eat the fish and spit out the bones.

  • Excellent Resource for Beginning Your Wedding Photography Business
If you want to succeed and get all the insiders "scoop" on wedding photography, this is the book to read. It goes into the pitfalls and the hard work and dedication to be successful in not just your photography, but your business. Some may want more "technique", but as a photographer, you develop your own style and perfect your craft. Elizabeth gives you the foundation for being a great wedding photographer with your own style and technique. From the contracts, the timelines, and the package presentations, you will learn all you ever need to be successful AND profitable as well. Once I started reading, it was one of those you simply could not put down. I refer back often and find myself re-reading chapters for even more in depth development of my own wedding photography business. A must have if you are considering this area of photography! ... show more
