“I just finished your Profitable Wedding Photography book, and have been so impressed with every chapter I read. I really loved the book. It revealed to me a level of commitment you have to your professional life. I felt the book was nearly perfect and extremely informative! Way to go!!! After the first chapter or two, every time I picked up the book and read some more, I was blown away by the quality of the information you provided, the pains-taking efforts you put in to provide excellence, and how you allowed the reader to see inside your world, while guiding them around the dangers with contracts, time-lines, scouting locations, working with clients with tact, proper etiquette, etc. So complete! Really awesome!!! There’s no way you could have written this book and not be at the absolute top of your craft. What I read speaks volumes about the quality of your work, and the quality of you. After reading the book, it’s hard to say anything that’s not 100% awesome about it, you and your effort!”

“There’s something for all, in The Art Of Engagement Photography by Elizabeth Etienne (Amphoto Books, 2001). The author is an award-winning wedding and lifestyle photographer who has a quirky, off-beat style. However, the book isn’t so much about her style, as to how you can develop your own, right down to the equipment and support you will need to shoot portraits and candids of couples. You can learn a lot from this book, not just about how to use your camera equipment and set up a shot, but beyond that, to retouching, and even using photos and presenting them in creative ways. There is even a section on what you need to know to be a professional photographer, and to make money from your images in other ways (E.g. as stock photos). I am keeping this book as a reference for the future, when my own photography and writing gallery web site goes live this month!?”

“I recently picked up a copy of your book, ‘Profitable Wedding Photography’ and think that it is probably one of, if not the best, books that I have ever read on this subject!!!

I’m a student photographer and while right now I am doing newborn/children/family photography, I do wish to ‘get into’ weddings as well.

Your book however, while you have geared it towards wedding photographers, many of the practices and work ethic that you write about can verily be applied to any photographer in any field. It is especially enlightening where you write about your assistants as there are many (myself included) as to what the proper etiquette is in regards to a second (or third) shooter.

Just wanted to say thank you, be well and love your photos!!!”

“ Just read the first chapter of your Wedding photography book. Love it already. I have been a restaurant guy for years and I understand one end of setting up nice wedding and rehearsal dinner parties. I can only hope to be able to produce pictures like yours one day. Thank you for the inspiration!”

“I was able to get both of your books and can’t put them down. I’m reading them together. I am truly shocked at how “me” they are. I have been afraid to open up to “my style” because so many seem to want the traditional with some small amount of trend to their images. But immediately upon reading your books, I am finding freedom to be me. I am still looking forward to meeting with you at some point soon. I’ll hook up to your facebook and blog.
Thanks so much for your inspiration!”
