I had been asked to take wedding photos of my daughter's small upcoming wedding. As an amateur, I was freaking out. Purchased this book to give me a good outline of what to expect and how to prepare. It's a great outline for beginner and expert as well. Goes from preparation and gear to the different segments of the wedding itself--where to stand, how to place your assistant, problems you might encounter, recommended settings. Has great photos and shortcuts. My only suggestion would be to show the actual camera settings for the photos in the book--it would be nice to get an idea of what settings were used for different included photos (realizing that existing conditions will obviously influence settings used). Highly recommended. Many wedding books have chapters on starting your wedding photography career and how much to charge etc which I wasn't interested in. This is strictly how to take the best photos--posing, light setup, etc.
