Summary: Professional photographer's, (PPA), view
Comment: Douglas Allen Box has a fresh view of wedding photography, and a fresh, clear book format. I consider him my new guru. I have asorbed much of the techniques described here and will be looking for opportunities to use them in my future weddings.
However, this book is meant for the professional, who wants to add new arrows to their quiver, an amature will find the techniques described, too lofty. For them I would say, find a book written for beginners.

Summary: Not What I Expected
Comment: I am NOT a professional photographer rather I am an amateur photographer that has been asked to take photographs at a wedding. I was looking for a book that would teach me what I needed to know to ensure I did a good job.
I bought this book based on the recommendations I read here. When I recieved the book and started to read it I realized the book was not what I expected.
The writer does not provide any in depth instructional information on the process of taking photographs at a wedding. The book is set up so that the reader looks at a full page photograph and then, on the opposite facing page, reads a brief description on what was happening at the time the photo was taken. This useless information is followed by a very brief description of the type of camera used and the setting utilized.
In the final chapter of the book the author provides a very cusory discussion of the business of wedding photography, but it seems this was added as an after thought and is not presented very well.
If you're looking for an instructional book that has everything you'll need to start out as a wedding photographer I would recommend "Wedding Photographer's Handbook: The Complete Guide" by Robert and Sheila Hurth.

Summary: Great start for beginners.
Comment: I'm a nature photographer by choice, but when a friend of mine begged me to shoot her wedding I was a bit worried about doing it. I baught this book one week before my first wedding shoot. Its very simple to use and read with easy to follow diagrams of positions and reasons why. Its quick and to the point, not getting into the science of photography,and gets right to the basics. I was happy with the pictures I took and the Bride was even happier, which is what its all about, making her special day a day to remember. I've still got alot to learn but this was a positive step in the right direction, and with help from this book it made it a little easier.
