Customer Reviews

Good Info!

I'm new to wedding photography, and I try to read everything I can about certain techniques to use. This is a good book to introduce me to wedding ablums! I would recommend this book - great illustrations and information about every aspect of wedding albums. Buy it!!

Highly Recommended

This book was recommended to me by the photographer/designer that developed my website. As a wedding photographer I haven't seen a better book to determine and improve album design. Each segment is written by a different photographer with layout and supplier advice. Very well printed and an invaluable resource.

Excellent book on the subject

When I first turned the pages, the creative elegance in the photos and album designs grabbed me. Initially, I went through the whole book just gazing at all the amazing work from these top photographers. It's very inspiring. On the second pass, I studied the invaluable business tips they shared with Bob who tells us all about it in a very easy-to-read flow. What it boils down to is, if you're a wedding photographer who wants to get ahead in your career, this is one of those must-have reference books.

WOW - extremely well written and very helpful! Bravo!!

WOW!! This book is full of GREAT information. I just got it yesterday and have read it from cover to cover. It is amazing the ideas for wedding albums that are in there - things sure have changed since I got married. My little white book of 4 x 6 photos just doesn't cut it anymore. After reading Bob's book and shooting my first wedding, I am going to use the book to be more creative at making a wedding album for my clients. I know they will love them!!

Better than I thought it would be...

I'm the author of the book and the original concept was "place this image here", album design terminology and a list of album companies. When I started interviewing photographers for the book it seemed to take on a life of it's own. It grew into offering ways to promote your business and make more money using wedding albums as a base. I discovered that the album you sell your bride starts with how you market, talk to your bride, shoot the wedding and more. The photographers featured in the book are some of the best and most creative in the industry and I would like to thank them for sharing their ideas. Without them the book would not cover near as much information.
