I've checked out I don't even know how many from the library and don't think I ever found any of them to be that impressive. Though much more expensive, I would point you towards a few DVD collections. The good ones are all ~$100. I really enjoyed a 6 disc set simply called Wedding Techniques. It's on Amazon, though I picked mine up used at a lower cost off of eBay. The material I found useful could have probably fit on one disc, but I was still very pleased with the insights.

Thank you I'll have to get on the Amazon site and check it out Thanks again,

I am so happy to refer you to these: Bambi Cantrell is SO good. Her books are available at many libraries and can be purchased online as well. The best thing about her books is she is very candid about how she does the shot. About the "spirit" of shooting weddings. She reveals her shot settings and how it was set up. Very thorough and easy to read, lots of photos. You're going to love it!

My recommended books (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=242640). I've only read one of Bambi's books, but it was basic, boring, and pretty much useless to me.

Has anybody read Fast Track Photographer yet by Dane Sanders? I was wondering if it was worth buying, there's none in stores - online only. :(

I think I have an e-book by her somewhere, but I don't think I actually read it.

Like one of the posters here mentioned, browse through a bunch at your local library or bookstore/camerastore and pick the ones you like most. The more good photographers you learn from, the better you'll be.

Good book. I purchased it a few weeks ago in preparation for a wedding I have in a month. It was a great resource to aid me along with a second shooting job I did.
