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, incuding 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.
