Format:Paperback
Ignore the US aspect of the writing and you will be accessing some great tips for your wedding photography. I have long been a fan of David's and most of his techniques have been published on his blog. However this book gives you the finishing touches to his ideas and coupled with his sessions on Kelby Training will give most wedding photographers the low down on applying David's tricks of the trade.
I use most of his suggestions and have found them to work well and lift my wedding photography to the next level.
The book is a great technique guide for any photographer venturing into weddings during these economically challenging times..
Anyone aspiring to be a great exponent of flash photography should read this book,and then look at what Neil Van Niekerk, Joe McNally and Damien Lovegrove are doing. A great combination of unique resources and mostly available on the web.
Great value book for all wedding photographers.

Format:Paperback
Whilst this is an American book and I am a rustic Welshman I enjoy the flowing style and both the artistic and technical content. I have warmed to American presentation being a NAPP member and having followed Scott and the boys for a number of years. The flow is great and the content is quite inspirational. It makes you want to get out there and shoot. If you have read more general books on photography this is definitely one to buy I have read certain sections a few times, the content being so extensive this was necessary to get it logged in. As soon as I read it I got my SB800 speedlights out and experimented. I am waiting for the upgrade to a Nikon D700 or similar to come out to use the high ISO capabilities to follow on from the book. Buy it you won't be disappointed (that is if you have no aversion to the US style of presentation).

Format:Paperback
Nicely presented book with some good ideas but a little too "American" for my conservative UK tastes. There's a few techniques I'll try but I think the Neil Van Niekerk book on flash techniques works better. Not a negative review by any stretch but there are better books...
