Product Description
A behind-the-scenes look at master wedding photographer Joe Buissink’s acclaimed style
"There’s no such thing as a perfect image–only a perfect moment," says Joe Buissink, one of American Photo’s Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World. In Wedding Photography from the Heart, the premier photographer gives us an inside look at how he captures the feeling of a couple’s wedding, seeing the moments from their perspectives and hearts.
Here, for the first time, are more than 150 of his stunning images–including many from celebrity weddings–accompanied by creative techniques, inspiration, and unparalleled advice. Joe brings us into his creative process, emphasizing "learning to see"–training yourself to anticipate the moments that matter–and, most important, developing a relationship of complete trust with your clients.
His goal is not necessarily to take technically perfect photos, but to capture the right moments, transforming intimate, emotional memories into timeless images.
A must-have for all professional, semipro, and aspiring wedding photographers–as well as brides and grooms looking for inspiration–Wedding Photography from the Heart reveals how to create wedding photographs that will, even decades later, capture the joy of a couple’s wedding day.

 Where's the beef? May 21, 2010
Robert A. Szajkowski (San Diego, CA)
As most reviewers here pointed out, I was able to get through the book in one sitting. The images are, in fact, great. Content is lacking a little in terms of writing about the "creative techniques". Just expected more bang for the buck on this one.

Photojournalistic / documentary style has been booming in wedding photography industry in the last decade. Almost all wedding photographers nowadays advertise or incorporate some aspect of this style. Joe Buissink has been using documentary style for a few decades. His images are not hard to recognize: emotional, romantic, artistic and tells the story of the day. Joe has ability to see with both eyes, mind and heart.
This book will help guide you as a walk through on a wedding day. It gives you tips on how to make your images stand out and creative in various wedding scenes, such as getting ready, portrait, ceremony and reception. But the most important of all, Joe prepares your mind and heart so you know how to capture the best moments in the wedding flawlessly.
Beside the shooting aspect, Joe also discusses about business aspect, gears, and also mistakes he made when he first starting the business (which is one of my favorite chapter). Interestingly, Joe also shoots many hollywood celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Hillary Swank, Jessica Simpson, Rebecca Romijn, etc. Joe kindly shares what are the pro and cons and what you need to pay attention to when you shoot celebrity wedding.
However, This is not an technical / creative how to book, but it is more about philosophy. So if you are looking for those, you might want to attend his workshop or get his workshop DVD.
Overall, this is a great book, very good written. Every sentence counts. I gladly recommend this book for photographers and enthusiasts who aspire to be wedding photographers.

The Best Book on Creative Wedding Photography February 25, 2010

I read this book from front to back as soon as it arrived. Good Condition. Incredible collection of Images. It focuses on getting into the mindset to shoot weddings with a emotional and creative edge. Not for someone looking to learn about camera usage and such. It's perfect for reminding you why you went into wedding photography in the first place. I Love it!!
Best Wedding Book for Pros February 10, 2010

This book is great if you already know the technical aspects of photography. Joe talks about how to look for moments and record the wedding day in a way that will make the wedding couple feel the memories every time they look at the album. The images alone are worth the cost of the book. It really makes you think about concerning yourself with getting the moments and not worrying as much about technical perfection. Seeing that images he provides to celebrity clients are often not perfectly focused and are full of grain, really illustrates this. I fully recommend this book.
I Love Joe Buissink's Style January 17, 2010

I have been an avid fan of Joe Buissink for several years now, attempting to emulate much of what he does when I shoot. A little disappointed, I guess, in the book. Not so much "creative techniques" but stories Joe tells about some of his favorite images. Am I glad I own the book? Absolutely. Do I wish it was a little heavier on creative technique, of course. His voice was inside my head at the last wedding I shot, reminding me WHERE to look to get the shots. Would I purchase it again? Yes. His imagery is incredibly inspiring.
