after having purchased several of the other books available on the royal wedding (and subsequently being disappointed at the lack of actual wedding day coverage), i am entirely pleased i purchased this one as well!
this is a solid book. the quality of the binding and the pages is top notch, as are the quality and quantity of the images presented.
the caveat here are the images themselves! present is the first photo i have seen of the actual cake! also included is one of the official images released by the royals of the bride and groom with the children of the wedding party. there are both the officially released engagement photos. there is a lovely photo of catherine on the way to the ceremony, as well as numerous lovely images from the ceremony itself. there are a few images of the carriage ride to the palace, as well as a great spread on the balcony kisses.
if you are considering purchasing a book for images of the royal wedding itself, i highly encourage you to purchase this book, as it is far more impressive than the others currently available on the market! William & Catherine: Their Romance and Royal Wedding in Photographs
This book has 55 pages dedicated to wedding day pictures only as well as a few shots of the wedding throughout. In addition, there's background details/pictures of prior royal weddings up to Diana and Charles as well as information and pictures of William and Catherine prior to the wedding individually and as a couple. I think this is a great collector's book. I had also pre-ordered the "LIFE The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton: Expanded, Commemorative Edition" and found it very lacking. I cannot recommend this book enough as it includes pictures of both arriving at the ceremony plus various other royals and guest shots as well as pictures of the crowds at the mall. This truly encompasses the whole day up to them leaving for Clarence House prior to the night reception.
This book is absolutely fabulous! There are tons and tons of pictures, way before the wedding, shortly before the wedding, and many of the amazing day itself. This is the perfect book for anyone obsessed with the royals and their recent nuptials. I will treasure my copy for years to come!
This is by far the best book in pictures and story that I have seen on the wedding....and I have checked them all out in the bookstores....this actually has start to finish of the wedding, a beautiful picture(s) of the kiss and a lot of great background information. Well worth the money and a great book of this once in a lifetime event.
I was so suprised and delighted at the size of this book and all the wonderful pictures. It is as nice a reminder of the royal wedding as I could ask for. I loved all the pictures from inside the cathedral and the archive pictures and stories from royal weddings past. I think you will love this book as much as I do.
I was hoping that this would have more pictures of the actual wedding but it doesn't. All the pictures we saw on TV were not in this book. They do show the kiss but they don't show any other pictures from the balcony. They only have few pictures from the carriage ride and from the actual wedding. I was very disappointed.
This book was good, and if this book was accompanied with the sweet words Author Raymond Sturgis have in his book concerning WILLIAM & CATHERINE ( A Royal Union of LOve), this book would skyrocket through the atmosphere.'
