Which Wedding Photography Book (For Learning)

[bakerbranded]

I want to get into doing Wedding Photography and the business.
Does anyone know of any really good books on this.
Like when someone starts photography everyone always suggests "Understanding Exposure" which I loved and would also recommend.
Is there that sort of book or any book you guys liked that could help me better understand how to go about weddings, with some business thrown in?

Thanks,
Scott

The best way is to find a pro that you can assist/second shoot with to gain experience. If you can avoid it, you really don't want to go into your first wedding cold with no prior knowledge of how to shoot one.

You might try this one, it helped me a bit when I first started: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Techniques-Wedding-Photographer-Photographs/dp/0817456023/ref=pd_ys_ir_all_6?pf_rd_p=258372101&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_t=1501&pf_rd_i=list&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0T3WRPRTKT6C75EWPY5Q

This one isn't too bad: http://www.amazon.com/review/product/1579905463/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?%5Fencoding=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

The wedding FAQ thread (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=255604) recommends some books.

The ones by Marcus Bell and Bambi Cantrell are two of the best overall. A lot needs to be learned by working with a seasoned pro rather than trial and error on clients.

I found the Bambi Cantrell book I read pretty hopeless. I forget which one it was, check out my book thread if you're interested.

I think I might have the same one. It was horrible.

It did have some nice shots, but that's about it.

The extent of her "teaching" seemed to be - SHOOT WIDE OPEN!!!
