So you want to know what it takes to be a wedding photographer.

I am here to tell you that it can be one of the most stressful, scary, emotional, and most rewarding jobs in all of photography.

Well guess what? I am here to take all the scariness away!

I know photographers are visual, and so am I. With that in mind, I redesigned the whole wedding class into a video class!

After the success of the video class on studio lighting, I thought to myself "why not do the same for the wedding class." So here it is!

We will go through the whole wedding process from start to finish in this class. All on video, no confusing written lessons, just me walking you through it step by step on video.

In this class we will cover the initial meeting, the engagement session, what products to carry, how to price yourself, what to expect and how to shoot the wedding. How to pose and shoot formals, shooting the bride and groom. We will also go through post production and album design.

When you get done with this all video course, you will have a full grasp of what it takes to be a full time wedding photographer.

I will not only walk you through the process, I also have behind the scenes video of real weddings I have shot to see what it's like to be a wedding photographer.

I'm very excited about this class, and hope you are too!

Course Requirement:
A thorough knowledge of aperture, shutter speed and exposure. You will need two flashes and a way to fire one and/or both from the camera. It is wonderful if you have weddings to photograph but not necessary - all assignments can be completed using family and friends!
