The face of wedding photography has changed drastically over the last few years. Couples seem now to be content with a selection of selfies made on the wedding day, as well as a collection of cell phone images taken by guests and friends. There is no need for an album, as the pictures get posted online. Gone are the storytelling aspects of the wedding coverage that used to be the mainstay of the wedding album, as well as any remnants of the formal wedding coverage that was so popular for so many years. The role of the professional wedding photographer has diminished to the point that good, full-service wedding jobs are fewer and farther in-between. Yet there continue to be great photographers emerging for whom the changing role of the wedding photographer has not seemed to make a difference. This group of photographers is doing well both financially and professionally. They are in popular demand with today’s brides. That is where this book finds relevance. It is a 10 Best collection of these gifted contemporary photographers and a portfolio review of their work. Moreover, it is a review of their success in a difficult environment and a look at their ability to succeed and flourish when so many of their counterparts have failed of late.
The material in this book is the result of asking each of the 10 photographers a series of 14 questions carefully designed to get to the heart of the matters of creativity and profitability. As each profiled photographer has a distinctive style, background, and personality, the resulting answers will engage, inspire, and educate readers on all aspects of the task of creating stand-out imagery in a field in which only the best survive and thrive.
