ehhhh....2
This book had a lot of common scene kind of "tips" I was expecting something a little different. If your brand new to wedding photography then I think it would be helpful. But if you have some experience then I would skip it.

Great information4
This book is nice. It goes over some of the basics and also some more advanced stuff. I've been doing photography for a year but now I'm getting some weddings into the mix so it was a nice way to look at photography from that angle -- and it covered some basics that I we tend to forget about sometimes.

Save your money, don't buy this book.1
I started my business as a wedding photographer last year, and I bought this book hoping it would give constructive tips. I have heard some good things about Bill Hurter's wedding books so I thought this was a good choice. I finished reading it in a couple hours and I felt cheated. I found this book to be more about general photography than really focusing on wedding photography. There is a lot of information on the types of lenses available on the market and how to use basic camera functions. Furthermore, half of the book is common sense (for example: "Have Backup Equipment", "Dress for Success", "Compliment the Couple" and "Learn Everyone's Names") and the other half is various lighting techniques that would be used in-studio (example: "Using Background Light", "Add Kicker Lights", "Use Umbrellas"). Personally, I will not be purchasing any other Bill Hurter books, and I'll look for other more enriching and educational books instead.
