 So-So July 9, 2008
Didn't find this book all that great. Some information was very useful, but much of it was too simplistic, or even outdated. You can't shoot modern weddings like you did in 1970, and this book had some example shots that seemed very old-school.
I don't regret buying it, but I wouldn't go to this book first when I'm looking for new, exciting ideas when shooting weddings.
 There are better wedding photography books June 10, 2008
I purchased this book first, read it in a day, and haven't looked at it again. The most useful elements were the business section: it has a mockup of a contract and other information on business and legal issues. Otherwise I found the book less than useful. The photos aren't very impressive, rendering the advice a little suspect. There isn't very much technical information about posing or lighting, it's all generalized and vague. Nor are there wedding-related tips, most of the advice in this book could be summed up by "know how to work your camera". I went to the bookstore and picked up Wedding Photography by Mark Cleghorn, which was much more useful. I recommend you look elsewhere for wedding photography books.
 Excellent Book! May 5, 2008
This is an excellent wedding photo book! It is very informative and has given me a lot of great ideas. Would recommend to anyone who is thinking about taking wedding pictures.
Outdated Style January 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a very outdated book. The images are very dated and the style is too stiff. I am guessing that the pictures were old when the book was originally published in 2001. If you fancy yourself as a contemporary photographer then look elsewhere.
I recommend looking up The Top 10 Wedding Photographers in Popular Photography. Their styles are fresh even if some of them like Jerry Ghionis are highly posed. Even Jerry's work doesn't have a posed look to it.
The perfect level of detail for a beginner June 12, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book covers all the main topics of wedding photography for the beginner. Not too much detail on camera settings; the focus is more on things you want to be aware when photographing the different parts of the wedding from before the wedding until after the reception. Pictures are great as examples and text is easy to read and understand.
