Belligerent brides, crushed cakes, and wrecked wedding gowns are all part of this true-life memoir of Western New York weddings in the 1990s.

A candid, behind-the-scenes look at wedding photography in the days before digital. This poignant, honest, true-life tale reveals the intense, sometimes humorous, but never boring love-hate relationship that can exist between photographer and subject.

Along with straightforward accounts of wedding day pitfalls, missteps, and triumphs, this book contains a wealth of unexpected insider tips for both brides-to-be and aspiring wedding photographers.
