A wedding photographer himself, Roberto built his business from the ground up based on high-quality imagery that tells a compelling and beautiful story of his clients’ most important day. This is not a standard wedding photography book. In Wedding Storyteller , you will not find a collection of “looks,” which neither inspire nor teach you anything. You will also not find a wedding shot list―at least not in the traditional sense. Instead, this first volume of the two-part Wedding Storyteller series goes beyond the superficial and dives deeply into the truly important topics, themes, and subject matter you need to learn about in order to drastically elevate your wedding photography. Most importantly, Roberto stresses the crucial role that storytelling plays in creating compelling, meaningful, and unique photographs for your clients. In this book, Roberto has created a unique approach that anyone can learn to implement. Roberto’s “wedding storyteller skill components” system is divided into four sections: Foundation Components: Location Techniques. Learn how to conquer the locations you encounter as a wedding photographer. Roberto teaches you how to work with light, context, clutter, walls, depth, and other compositional elements such as frames and reflections. Foundation Components: People Techniques. Weddings are often high-energy, high-stress environments; your attitude and behavior have a huge impact on your ability to succeed as a photographer. Roberto discusses the crucial people skills you need to know and also teaches his unique approach to “situational posing” and group posing. Storyteller Approach Components. Roberto discusses the five approaches he uses to build a “wedding story” for his clients. These five approaches are: photojournalism, interactive photojournalism, stylized aware posing, stylized unaware posing, and story development. Expert Components. The final section builds and expands on everything covered in the previous components, as Roberto addresses such topics as Emotionally Valuable People (EVP), lens choices, helper light, posing patterns (and when to break them), capturing “peak action,” achieving a unique perspective, and creating multi-layered stories within a single photograph. At a wedding, each photograph has the opportunity to convey a special moment and contribute to the rich, visual story of your clients’ most important day. As the photographer, you are both the director and the documentarian of that story. With Wedding Storyteller, Volume 1, by your side, you finally have a book that teaches you the skills you need to learn in order to create amazing images and craft masterful stories filled with beauty, emotion, and meaning. Review: BRILLIANT!!! - BRILLIANT!!! That was my first thought as I began reading Roberto Valenzuela's newest masterfully written book - Wedding Storyteller. As a wedding photographer, I had recently found myself in a rut - taking pretty images of pretty people all smiling at my camera. I knew I was ready to raise the bar, but I just wasn't sure what I was missing. This book came at the perfect time! I couldn't put it down as I read deeper and deeper into the book as Roberto laid out how to capture a true story at a wedding. Not only does he deal with the technological aspects, such as finding and capturing the most beautiful light, but he also deals with effective posing and subject interactions. This book broke down the different types of images to capture and why, giving clear and organized examples. I also appreciated the down-to-earth honesty and humor in his delivery. Light bulbs were going off chapter after chapter as I read through the book. It is a game changer for wedding photographers lucky enough to get their hands on this book! I have read and learned a great deal from the other three books Roberto has published: Picture Perfect Posing, Picture Perfect Lighting, Picture Perfect Practice and greatly look forward to Wedding Storyteller Volume II. Review: incredible!! - I’m a working wedding photographer and there is no author that comes close to Roberto in terms of their ability to explain as well as the depth covered. Previous wedding books I’ve read from other authors had offered me no new information to take things up another level. In this book Roberto details everything that you can do as a photographer to provide luxurious and artistic photographs in each wedding. I will probably try and read all of his books, including the follow up to this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #788,557 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #34 in Wedding Photography #549 in Photography Reference (Books) #685 in Digital Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 159 Reviews | ## Images ![Wedding Storyteller, Volume 1: Elevating the Approach to Photographing Wedding Stories - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Me2Bb5VkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BRILLIANT!!! *by P***S on October 2, 2017* BRILLIANT!!!

Unlike standard photo books, it does not try and milk oft-repeated advice about poses, lenses, composition etc .... or try to show off the writer's photographs. Many photographic writers are guilty of this sin, which is why I am posting this note. This book is worth buying as it feels fresh and authentic. If you shoot weddings (or important events), and if you want to improve your thought process and work-flow, this book could help a lot: * It has some fresh ideas on how to plan and execute the event. * It outlines mistakes made by the writer and how he corrected them (with pictures) * It gives several helpful, somewhat original tips about handling the people and process. * Well written, simple and effective writing style * His passion for wedding photography comes through and I think it will help me improve my results with some practice (Please note I have not finished studying the recommendations, and have not tested at a real wedding as yet). Highly recommended in paperback form (personally I dont e/ Kindle books for this genre of books, though I have several). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/46927741-wedding-storyteller-volume-1-elevating-the-approach-to-photographing-wedding](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/46927741-wedding-storyteller-volume-1-elevating-the-approach-to-photographing-wedding) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
