As a wedding photographer of 10+ years, I can honestly say that you're always learning and always trying to improve or perfect your art. I randomly, compleeeetely randomly, came upon this video and the way you gave each set of poses 'names' helps me to not only remember them, but also to incorporate more of some and less of some others. Thanks!

Maybe you can do a mini series on your booking, whole wedding day and delivery. Break the episodes up by parts of the process. Example.. ep.1 communication and booking, ep.2 getting ready and first look, ep.3 ceremony, ep.4 cocktail hour and reception, ep.5 post process and delivery. Something along those lines. It would be nice to see you go into more detail, and it would draw viewers into continue watching the next video. I haven't seen a lot of youtubers do multi-part videos like that in this genre.

As someone who’s 2months into a photography course and on a journey to becoming a hybrid shooter, I sometimes have to assist on shoots and be asked to give poses. This video has brought me calm and pumped to readily want to suggest poses when I’m on a shoot or assisting. Thank you so much for this video. You really have no idea how much you’ve motivated me. Thank you.

This is by far my favourite posing tutorial I've seen! Thank you, John. I'm photographing my first wedding next week and, although the couple know I've never done it before and say they'll be grateful for anything, I'm obviously really keen not to mess it up! After watching this, I feel like I stand a good chance of success!!

This video saved my life yesterday! Watch John branch before your wedding is like taking your vitamins in the morning👌 I subconsciously and consciously made more successful decisions in decisive situations where in the past, I would have fried in a pan. Instead I chef'd up some great photos 📸 and memories as John guided me. I can not thank you enough, John. Experiance is the greatest teacher, but having an experienced teacher helps in ways that can not be put into words.
