As a wedding photographer sometimes we can get stuck in a routine of doing things. I found several new things to add to my look based on this book. Actually somethings I had thought about and just did not try. In this book there are some very good examples of how to add the HDR look to some of the wedding images. Also the recommendation to shoot more wide views of the ceremony. Also this is one of the few books that stressed the importance of FAMILY PORTRAITS, and how to do them simply and make them timeless. There are fads that come and go, but quality family portraits will last. Consider this book as a add on to your library
The images in this book are crazy awesome. The lighting setups described are all fairly simple and the post work on them is minimal with the exception of the HDR ones. My favorite image is of the authors wife (after their wedding) with the northern lights in the background. Phenomenal. These brides made an excellent choice in him for their photographer. So if you can take away just a fraction of advice from this book and run with it, you're going to have some great images.I received this book in order to review but I love it!
I purchased this book as a wedding photographer, and one who has been in awe of Neal since I first started seeing his images. This book is chock full of useful, helpful information with images that will consistently inspire. The information that Neal and Danielle share in this book is essential for those looking to get started into wedding photography, and in this day and age, you wont find people like Neal and Danielle, that are willing to put themselves out there the way that they do. This book is a "must purchase" for anyone looking to improve their skills.
After having Neal Urban as my own photographer for my engagement, wedding, and numerous other occasions I needed this book. He is an inspirational photographer and great person. He treats his customers as if they were family and that is what makes him exceptional. After being photographed for years I then became interested in photographing myself so this book was the next step I needed. Thanks Neal for being inspirational to many people who truly love seeing people be happy with their own art.
Dream Weddings by Neal Urban is a great kick start for new wedding photographers especially and experienced photographer will surely be able to glean a number of tips to help them refine their craft. This book isn't as much about Neal's particular styling of his images but more of a solid background on the WHY behind what he does.
Wow! the cover says it all. You can believe this book by it's cover! Every wedding is a couple's dream and this book captures interesting poses and ideas outside of the lens...
Incredibly awesome collection of tips and photos from a world-class photographer :) Very highly recommended to anyone who would like helpful hints or ideas!
