I’m preparing for my first wedding in September and I’m freaking out, so I’m literally watching your videos and taking notes. Thank you so much. Like another commenter said, I would have never considered a lot of these technical details. The natural light tip was super helpful. I’ve grown so accustom to placing people directly in front of the light, so very happy to know that that is not always the right thing to do.

Hey John!! ...nobody teaches this and it's soooo frustrating to me. I know my way around a camera pretty well, but some of these more technical types of tricks and effects are things I still have yet to conquer and really figure out. THANK YOU soooo much for doing this for us!! I would sure give the world for you to also do a couple of videos teaching us how to photograph sparkler exits, light trails with wedding reception dance photos, how to photograph those cigar smoke photos of the guys on wedding day, and how to get that hair spray shot when the bride is getting ready. I'd also love to learn how to do some of those trick photos that so many of you do on wedding days - the reflection, shooting through things, bokeh lights, ring shots with an extra fun flair, etc. A super fun photographer that does a lot of this stuff is Jason Martin with Concept Photography. This guy has some super cool photography tricks and effects and I still have yet to figure out how he does a lot of them.

Would love to see a dedicated video on all of that ;) Thanks! Wayan
