This review is from: Wedding Photography and Video: The Bride and Groom's Guide (Paperback)

As someone who was recently married and a New York wedding video provider at Iris Cinema (www.iriscinema.com), I can speak from both sides. You're better off searching the Web for information than reading through this material. It is dated and doesn't cover the options that people are offering in the wedding video and wedding photography markets. It may have been current when it was published in 1994, but it certainly won't be of much use now.
