Ms. Tobin has written a great book for aspiring wedding photographers! I ordered the book and thought I could read it all on a flight from NYC to Chicago- boy, was I mistaken. This book is so stuffed with valuable information and insight, it's impossible to digest it all in one reading. Everything one needs to know about creating wonderful wedding photos is in this book. From "The Role of the Photographer on Wedding Day" to "Websites, Albums and Equipment", each chapter is full of valuable information. Incorporating the thoughts and musings of 20 outstanding wedding photographers on each subject, Ms. Tobin blends the abundance of info rather skillfully. The final chapter is nearly 40 pages of the 20 photographers profiled in the book, giving their own wedding day thoughts, insight and advice - each complete with a sampling of their wedding day images! This chapter alone is worth the price of the book!
And the images! The photos throughout the book are are astounding! They're clean, sharp, bright- no doubt the best of the best. As if that's enough, technical details are given for EVERY photo, - camera and lens used, F-stop, shutter speed, and a brief description by the photographer of the how the shot was conceived and made by the photographer as well!
I don't normally gush over photography books because they often seem to be light on information and value. But Tobin's book is a solid reference book that should be kept side by side with other recent great photography reference books, McNally's "Hot Shoe Diaries..." and Grecco's "Lighting and the Dramatic Portrait...".

I have to say when this book arrived I didn't open it right away. I had to wait; I waited for an evening clear of any distractions so I could sit down and enjoy it.
I sat down, opened the cover and started reading. A little background: I've been documenting weddings for four years now. After a while, its so easy to get trapped in the same style of shooting. This book has inspired me to be different, to push myself out of a mold.
Ms. Tobin's publication has an incredible amount of knowledge that photographers have been so grateful to share, along with industry insights, techniques, and so much more.
It is absolutely inspiring to listen to the top twenty minds in wedding photography discuss everything from A to Z. This book is my new favorite 'coffee table' book. I find myself going back to it again and again on a daily basis.
If there is only ONE book to own on wedding photography this is it. Its the most comprehensive, insightful book I've read. When I finished reading through it the first time, I felt as if I'd taken a master-class/workshop session with each one of the photographers.
Some books you order are pure fluff...you order them and are very disappointed you just shelled out money for 'that'. I can't stress how much content/knowledge/great stories there are in this book to appreciate. This book is an inspiration!
Thank you for the wonderful publication and for breathing new life into my photography!

One thing I loved about this book was that it featured quite a few film photographers, especially Elizabeth Messina and Jose Villa. They are two of my favorite wedding photographers. It's wonderful to see the author putting emphasis on film photography here. She does have a good eye and taste.

not as informative as I would have liked, more of a inside peak on the philosophies of wedding photography from some of the top guys and gals.
