I just got back from borders (and the chiropractor.. my neck and back feel much better now :clap) and bought the book "Mastering Digital Wedding Photography" by James Karney
So far it looks like a decent book that will have alot of insight to help me improve my wedding photography.
Anyone else have this book? What did/do you think of it?
I might post some excerpts from the book if I find something really worth sharing on here... although that might be copyright infringing? I wont word for word post it in here, but you know what I mean?

I don't have that book yet, but always look at it. I have so many to read as it is.
I imagine you can just post what you thought was most helpful out of the book without quoting the book.

Yeah, I think thats what I'll do if I do come across something good.
Right now its talking about the business aspect of Wedding Photography, equipment that you should have to be prepared for anything, as well as advice on pricing... pretty good stuff so far. I'm only about 50 pages in, and its a 400 page book.
It also covers meeting new people and booking them, marketing your services, different techniques to use when shooting the wedding, formals, and reception, Post Production, Proofs, Prints, CD's and DVD's of the events, Albums... And alot more..
I think it's worth the $40 I paid for it.
But the book does seem interesting, you will have to let us know if it's any good and helpful, if so I might just go and get it... Might take me a while to read, but that's ok....

I agree! I think its pretty easy to read. I'm the type of person that falls asleep very easily when I read. But this book isn't boring. The author tells you what he does and what other people do, and it feels like you're actually listening to a photographer (which you are) instead of another author.
For any others reading this -- other wedding photography books you'd recommend too? either ones for a useful start or for refining your art?

Sweet! I might have to pick that up when I'm done with this book. Thanks for the suggestion!

Working on mentioning more books! Hence my question here as to what other books folks found were excellent wedding guides :ivar
I agree! I've been looking through it when I have free time, there's soooo much information on there.
