The BEST book on wedding photography that money can buy...
I do not hesitate to claim that this book is absolutely the BEST overall book on wedding photography that can be purchased for an intermediate photographer looking to get into wedding photography. I'm slowly making the transition from being a landscape photographer to wedding photographer, and while I understand apertures and shutter speeds, there are various aspects to wedding photography that this book covers exceptionally well such as differing business models and types of wedding photography that someone coming from a different area of photography may be interested in learning more about.

I have been also extremely impressed with both the breadth of topics covered by this book as well as the depth of topics.

In fact, coming from someone who has read may books about varying areas of photography (even Ansel Adams' trilogy), I rank this book as one of the top. I find that this book has an excellent balance for the intermediate photographer looking to get into wedding photography. Additionally, this book is much longer than the other wedding books out there-- with 310 pages of information.

Well done Mr. Johnson.

Excelent one
