At any wedding you attend, you will not only see the professional photographer, but a host of the happy couple's friends and family, cameras in hand, all looking to capture the definitive shot of the perfect day. The portability and adaptability of digital photography has opened up the world of wedding shooting; however, on such a special occasion it's vital that the photographer is confident that he or she is up to the job. The Wedding Photography Field Guide-although compact enough to fit easily into a suit pocket-offers comprehensive and easy-to-follow advice on how to do the special day justice. Whether it's dimly lit churches or lively dance floors, wedding photography presents particular and demanding locations, and you rarely have much time to shoot. All the situations you're likely to encounter are covered here, along with advice on the best equipment, posing, people-management, and technique. The book also explores different styles of wedding photography, from the classic formal portrait to modern reportage approaches, with inspirational shots from leaders in the field.

This product feels more like a 4 star product than a 5, but I couldn't really put my finger on why and I like to have a concrete reason for deducting stars, so we'll stick with 5.
This book, like so many other photography books, starts off telling you about cameras in general, lenses, post-editing, etc. I'm not really going to fault it for that since it's almost the expected norm, but if you have other photo books, I really couldn't see anything you would get from this section that you don't already have. Still, that section was done well--complete enough without being too detailed. I especially liked that the author suggested using a computer with a RAID set up to help prevent data loss. Many times photographers try to tell us what sort of computer this or that to use, but you can tell they really don't know computers very well. I felt that all the advice given in this regard was sound and, while some of it sounded a little over-paranoid (she keeps copies on 3 hard drives (one off site) AND 3 optical discs (one off site), as well as online backups), it is better to take this approach than what most of us do (no backup at all).
I liked how the book was done. It is written in small sections--usually only a page spread or 2 long (and a page spread isn't much because this is a tiny book). This makes it easy to skip past a section you may not be interested in without feeling like you missed anything.
A good part of the middle of the book focuses on various events/photo ops before, during or after the wedding day and ways to make the most of them. This almost made it feel like a menu you may order lunch from, except that we are dealing with photos instead of food.
