3.0 out of 5 stars A picture book and not much else., June 19, 2006
By Anesh "Anesh" (South Africa) - See all my reviews
The title of this book is mis-leading as there's hardly any technique. There's plenty of gorgeous photo's with associated exposure information, camera settings and lenses used (good of the author's to include these). As other's have mentioned there is heavy usage of Nik filters. However the author's are open and frank about the use of such filters and the results are great indeed. Reading content is not much more than a few hours long and wedding photographers will learn very little. This is a picture book with general comments and opinion, "professional techniques" it is not!

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, November 15, 2006
I purchased and read Bambi's first book on wedding photography published in 2000 and also this one expecting new information and an updated on all that has changed over the past 5+ years. I was disappointed to find little new information other than a lot of plugs for Canon equipment.

Many images that illustrate the value of NIK filters for Photoshop but little discussion of when to use them or why. One example is provided on an approach to converting images to black and white but no mention of the literally dozens of ways to do this and the many after-market action sets by Kubota and others to make this easy and efficient.

Strongly suggest anyone getting into wedding photography or making the transition to digital from film purchase first the excellent book "Digital Wedding Photography" by Glen Johnson. Then fill in the gaps with books such as Bambi's - though I believe her 2000 book was better than this latest one which is largely a cosmetic makeover.

3.0 out of 5 stars Icing without any cake, June 22, 2006
This book is definately pretty to look at and it offers a few tips that any amateur photographer could make good use of, but the title is certainly misleading and overall its not a good buy if you're hoping to learn something. I found it to be very light on practical wedding photography information and heavy on photos.... It might answer your basic "what" questions, but it doesn't come close to answering any "why" or "how" questions. If you're looking for a book with several beautiful pictures that would look great on your coffee table, than this book is for you, but if you're actually hoping to learn something, I'd recommend buying something else.
