From Images to Art: Storytelling in Wedding Photography with Jim Garner

This tutorials fits what I need. Im glad I got it. I am a wedding photographer and I tried some of his techniques and it works for me. Mt clients are energized and leaves excellent reviews. Thanks Jim :) Thinking stories for albums helps creates better images and much fun !

I think it's a great class, although would have been better if Jim wasn't sick sniffling through out the entire thing. Still a great class but the team should have waited till he was better. You can tell he's getting over a cold. Really good class though and worth the purchase.

Step-by-step, practical how to steps to transform your style into a story-tellying, money-making machine. I'm so excited about this. Photography had become canned poses and traditional images and Jim has ignited my love for telling a great story. It's all about the tears. Fantastic content.

Loved it. Jim Garner speaks the truth.

I am blown away by some of the negative reviews of this class. "He sniffs too much". Really and that is why you tells us all not to buy the course!! How about you leave that decision to us potential buyers. Personally I love this course. It was just what I needed to inspire me and challenge me to think in a new direction as a photographer. Thank you Jim for all the passion, time, and thought you brought into the preparation of this course.. Is is different and unique from the other amazing wedding courses Creative Live offers.

I love his classes! They guide you on how to be a good story teller, very well. I definitely would recommend it for someone who wants to follow this style of photography.

My work has always had an artful look to it. I wasn't sure that weddings was my niche, but I love shooting them. When I have had the opportunity to do one, the work I was most proud of was the more creative shots. I haven't felt up until now that my typical client really appreciated the value of it. , so I wouldn't put those images up on my website. It is true "Show" what you want to sell, because now I am getting clients that are looking specifically for that! Jim's class was very timely! I haven't finished it yet, but I love his message. I read some of the other reviews and I feel that they are very unfair. This class was exactly what I needed. I have the technical skills, so I wasn't looking for camera settings or Photoshop help like some of the people that were disappointed in it. If you are looking for that in this class, you are not ready to go to the next level. I was looking for artistic inspiration and this class lives up to the title 100%.

I feel like I wasted my money on this course. He didn't even include any of the overlays and rushed through the actual editing. Having fun with your clients and getting the "story" is the easy part. He's more of a salesman than a teacher. I got more out of my my other classes I purchased from CL, because of those classes I'm not too angry with this loss. I won't be interested in any other classes he does.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this course! I've started implementing his techniques already. He is a great tutor also and he makes earning money seem very easy, I can't believe how great he does it. I'm still working on wrapping my brain around the storytelling shooting approach, but I must say, his style fits mine well and to this day I'm using his techniques. Well worth it!

TRANSFORMATIONAL!!! I had no idea what I was about to unlock when I purchased this course. It simply blew me away how incredibly generous Jim and his team are with their skills and intimate details about their business. What we all want to hear and know, but no photographer really gives out so freely. THANK YOU JIM! I am on a road less Traveled.

So I have been watching creative live tutorials for a year now and came across Jim Garner. Well he blew me away to say the least and also compelled me to buy my first course. And I have never shot a wedding. The thing is, although this is all about wedding photography one can easily apply all his knowledge to other areas of retail photography....watching this was a BIG C moment for me ( see, I really did learn something ).

This has to be one of the best Creative Live webinars ever. What Jim taught transformed my business and equipped us to take it to the next level. Thanks Creativelive for having Jim and thanks Jim for sharing your experience and knowledge.

This is such an amazing course. It is my first purchase that I have made with Creative Live and I couldn't be more pleased. Jim shared so much information and so many insights. It's great to be able to watch the segments over, picking up something new every time. Taking volumes of notes! I am starting to implement Jim's approach to photography—storytelling. I am just starting out in wedding photography and am so excited to have found this gem tutorial! I would highly recommend this to any photographer who wants to take their work from photographs to art.

Love Jim Garner's style of shooting and it fits perfectly into what I'm trying to accomplish. This course is just what I needed to take my business to the next level in sales, marketing and shooting.

LOVE LOVE LOVE all the bits on how to create a wow shot without stressing about getting it/catching it by chance. So SPOT on!! A little bit of planning, a little bit of vision, and great ideas/recipe for amazing "wow" shots that are prompted and genuine (unique just like the people we shoot), rather than stressed over and chased. :) Amazing video!! :) Thanks Jim Garner!!

This was an amazing series of lessons from a master. Inspiring in his approach to all people and his approach to storytelling and commitment to an art-focused philosophy and business model. Jim has inspired me to think differently and to transform our way of business as we grow our wedding business. I have watched the lessons several times...Jim obviously spent hours and hours designing a well thought out lesson plan. I appreciate that. I highly recommend this course from Jim and the Creative Live team.

Jim Garner you are really awesome !!! One of the best wedding photographer & team. I just got carried through, by the double spread wedding album slideshow. The way it is presented & layout is just stupendous, which motivated me to watch the entire workshop. I literally clapped at the end of the slideshow. And ofcourse, the whole workshop - From Images to Art with Jim - was wonderful, thank you CREATIVELIVE.

Brett Florens mentioned Jim as one of the photogs he looks up to and I was like whaaaat? considering how good Brett's work is but now having bought this workshop I can totally see where he was coming from. This workshop is packed with info and this combined with Brett's workshop is a good combination of art shooting. The extra material from goboda.com is well worth it. I was going to buy it anyway for double the price before the CL offer. This was created well before CL so I totally understand that its an extra cost and it is so worth it. Thanks Jim for the discount.

Best course I have seen so far! Jim was really honest on what it takes to truly capture the art of shooting a wedding!

One of the best wedding photographers to follow! I love his style and way of explaining what he has done. As all Jims work, highly recommended.

I enjoyed this program immensely. Jim is a pro, and a very good salesman. However, to get his whole program, you also have to buy Jim's Transformation Tool Box (promoted throughout the program) as an add-on at significant extra cost. In past programs, the instructors have been most generous in offering their additional downloads which were included without extra cost. Hopefully, this up selling (of additional necessary information) will not become a new trend in the CreativeLive workshops.

I love Jim Garner right now!!!!! I am very excited to say I am taking on the Art philosophy and have purchased the Transformation Tool Box and I would Highly recommend that to anyone the amount I have learnt is amazing in only 3 days. I will watch these video's over and over again over the next two seasons and I cant wait to take on the "ART" I even took my kids out today to experiment a little. So if you are sitting on the fence waiting for reviews get off the fence and do it now it is worth the $99 I paid but I would seriously pay at least $500 for this course!!!! Go on do it now
