Kevin Jairaj is one of the best-regarded wedding photographers in the industry. His clients have fallen for his dramatic, fashion-inspired shots of every phase of the wedding day. Jairaj has also inspired countless photographers to take risks, take control, and take their image-making to the next level. In this book, Jairaj guides readers through the creation of 60 of his breathtaking images, as well as alternate shots for that scene, to educate readers on what it takes to create technically masterful photographs that magically and artfully capture the spirit of the wedding day. The book is equal parts technique and artistry; readers will learn how to recognize what constitutes a good shot, how to find perfect lighting (or produce it, when perfect light is not at-the-ready), how to create dynamic poses, and how to anticipate those can’t-miss moments that every bride and groom will want to remember their wedding day by. The book is broken down into four discrete sections, each with a unique focus: Brides, Couples, Details, and Moments. Readers can opt to delve into an area of focus that they are feeling particularly challenged by and find concrete approaches an insightful strategies to make their own with their own clients. In each section, readers will discover details on using a wide range of lighting approaches (natural light, strobes, video lights, speedlights, and window light). They will find an array of striking, evocative poses and compositions that draw the viewer into the image. They will also learn how and where to shoot from during every phase of the shoot—from the bridal preparations, to the ceremony, to the first dance, to the exit. Armed with these solid technical skills and artistic inspirations, readers will approach their own clients’ weddings with increased confidence and heightened creativity.

Modern Wedding by Kelsey McKinnon Pdf

The secret to planning a deeply personal and meaningful wedding has nothing to do with budget. It’s about creating a celebration that reflects a couple’s core values. Translating those values is the work of Modern Wedding, an information-filled guide with hundreds of creative ideas and beautiful, inspiring photographs for readers to look at and say, “This feels like us.” The book unpacks every element of a wedding—stationery, attire, seating plans, flowers and tablescapes, food and drink, gifts—with examples that will appeal to couples who care about how things are made but are not overly influenced by trends. The emphasis is on natural surroundings, seasonal flowers and food, modern dresses, minimalist ceremony structures, and naked cakes. Photographs of real weddings—“case studies” like a destination fete in Tuscany, a house party in Brooklyn, and a New Agey revel in Kauai—show how all the pieces can come together into a unique and expressive whole. Extensive practical information and resources give readers access to all the help they need for their own unique celebration.

A Cultural History of Marriage in the Modern Age by Christina Simmons Pdf

Spanning cultures across the 20th century, this volume explores how marriage, especially in the West, was disestablished as the primary institution organizing social life. In the developing world, the economic, social, and legal foundations of traditional marriage are stronger but also weakening. Marriage changed because an industrial wage economy reduced familial patriarchal control of youth and women and spurred demands and possibilities for greater autonomy and choice in love. After the Second World War, when more married women pursued education and employment, and gays and lesbians gained visibility, feminism and gay liberation also challenged patriarchal and restrictive gender roles and helped to reshape marriage. In 1920 most people married for life; in the twenty-first century fewer marry, and serial monogamy prevails. Marriage is more diverse and flexible in form but also more fragile and optional than it once was. Over the century control of courtship shifted from parents to youth, and friends, as opposed to kin, became more important in sustaining marriages. Dual-wage-earner families replaced the male breadwinner. Social and political liberalism assailed conservative laws and religious regimes, expanding access to divorce and birth control. Although norms of masculinity and femininity retain huge power in most cultures, visions of more egalitarian and romantic love as the basis of marriage have gained traction-made appealing by the global spread of capitalist social relations and also broadcast by culture industries in the developed world. The legalization of same-sex marriage-in over twenty-five nations by 2020-epitomizes a century of change toward a less gender-defined ideal that includes a continued desire for social recognition and permanence. A Cultural History of Marriage in the Modern Age presents an overview of the period with essays on Courtship and Ritual; Religion, State and Law; Kinship and Social Networks; the Family Economy; Love and Sex; the Breaking of Vows; and Representations of Marriage.
