    Great course with so much that can be applied to any type of photography. I learnt a lot, Davina and Daniel are engaging and interesting and sharing so much knowledge. Thank you.

  • Alexandra M. Jan 27, 2022

    I find their photography style beautiful and inspiring. I especially appreciated how they walk the students through their storytelling process culminating with the slideshow for clients. I was clapping at the end of the slideshows, rooting for couples I've never met - that's pretty amazing storytelling and it lit a spark in me. Thanks Davina + Daniel!

  • Alejandra C. Jun 23, 2021

    This class is worth it's weight in gold. It's hands down the best piece of wedding photography education I've found online, BY FAR. I know they won't probably read this, but I recently shot a wedding at the same venue that they did for their San Miguel wedding, and it felt like a true milestone in my wedding photography career to have been able to shoot there as well. Since it was through their wedding there that I learnt so, so much. It's a bit of a heartache to see the photo possibilities that they got and I missed, but I guess that's the part beauty of it all, everyone sees differently. I guess I just mean to say that to me personally, this course has truly helped me become the photographer I am today, and as I keep rewatching, I'm sure it'll impact the photographer I'll become as well. I'm so thankful to Davina and Daniel for sharing their knowledge and the thorough explanations of their processes. Can't thank them enough; this is the course that keeps on giving.

  • Vince B. Sep 27, 2020

    So glad I bought the class. Loved every minute of it. I loved how they shot and how they explained how the approach their weddings that they shoot. Only thing is, not sure what happened, but lesson 36 through 38 seemed like the speed of the lessons were really, really fast. I had fo back and watch them twice, other then that, LOVED IT

  • W. Jun 8, 2020

    This class is truly amazing. I got it when it was on sale, but now that I've watched it is so worth the full price. I've learned so much, realized how much I was missing, and I can definitely take away so much from Davinas and Daniels way of working. Recommend this class 100%

  • T. G. Sep 15, 2019

    Excellent Class with lots of ideas to improve your photography business!!!

  • F. Aug 26, 2019

    Thank you so much Vanessa for so great course! Discover so much new stuff for myself! Going to improve it in my business! THANK you!!!

  • Carla T. Jul 7, 2019

    Really enjoyed this course. Davina has the same mindset as me in terms of trying to be a perfectionist so it was good to see how she deals with this and I will be taking it on board myself. I loved how they walked through various weddings and what they were looking for and how they pull it together. I love to capture the relationships and emotions and love to see how they capture these too.

  • Melissa C. Feb 26, 2019

    I really liked how real she is. She's so light and sweet and I liked how she explains how she gets into the poses. I found it great to see how she gets her couples to look so comfortable with each other in such an intimate setting.

  • Alistair D. Jan 16, 2019

    This is an amazingly informative course. Like their method of capturing wedding photos, this course is so well organised and presented. Possibly the best video course I have ever taken and definitely worth the investment. Davina and Daniel Kudish are very skilled presenters. They give everything of themselves and their approach to wedding photography. I have learnt so much from this course and highly recommend it.

  • Adrian G. Jul 24, 2018

    I think this course is great

  • Rachael Q. Jul 4, 2018

    This is the first course that I have actually sat through without issue. The dynamic between these two and what they're conveying is super helpful - not just for photographers, but videographers as well. If you're really looking to be different and capture the true emotion, they give you all of the steps in how to do this. Really quite pleased with this course and it's nice that they're not hawking gear or courses the entire time either. They really are client focused - exactly what I hope to be.

  • Costel M. Jun 9, 2018

    Buying this course I made one of the best investments in my education! Dvina Daniel respect and relationship with your customers are a real inspiration to me.

  • Sara . Jun 9, 2018

    This course is really easy to watch and learn, and I love how useful tips were given throughout the process of shooting, which is really informative! Also the course is filled with laughter! Watching it makes me feel happy hahaha

  • Victoria S. May 30, 2018

    Davina and Daniel have their priorities straight; it's all about capturing a story for the Couples. This class has a lot of heart. As a super technical person when it comes to Photography, classes like this remind me that wedding photography should be about the moments, and how to provide something to our Clients that they are going to appreciate forever.

  • Dan D. May 30, 2018

    I’ve been following Davina and Daniel’s work for years and suffice it to say, they are in my top 6 all time favorites. I was so excited to watch this creative live and it didn’t disappoint. From their approach to shooting through the moments, to their stunning locales and minimalist gear, there is something for everyone in this class. Both Daniel and Davina have a tremendous knowledge of photography and their willingness to share and educate is second to none. Oh, and just so you know, they are also the nicest people on the planet. Super sweet, amazingly talented. Thanks for having them on.

  • Leaha B. May 30, 2018

    Holy Moly! I have been very familiar with Davina & Daniel for several years and I also work closely with Image Salon for the past 3 years. I loved their relatability, raw honesty, human connection, and their teaching method. It was also super helpful to see the GoPro footage on a real wedding day and walk through their thought process with them. A refreshing wind of inspiration has now flooded my mind and attitude. I am excited to begin my 8th year of weddings with a clear mind and full heart. These two are the REAL deal and I am so happy I made this investment. Thanks, CL for always bringing the BEST of the BEST.

  • Erum R. May 30, 2018

    This is a great class! Davina + Daniel go through everything from start to finish! I love their energy and the course content. This CL class is great resource and most of my ethics and business formulas are in line with this format.

  • Kelly K. May 30, 2018

    Davina and Daniel are some of the best photographers, editors, and overall people around. They have been amazing inspirations and teachers for my husband and I as well as to hundreds of others. Their approach to photography and the teaching of it is easy going and completely understandable. You can apply any technique they teach immediately with amazing results. I can't recommend them enough.

  • Buffy G. May 30, 2018

    I got so many useful tips from these two, and their work is seriously captivating - I can tell how hard they work, both individually and as a team, and watching this made me feel inspired to create!

  • Rich C. May 21, 2018

    I think I watched half of the episodes before I switched off - really disappointed and literally no learning to take from this for me personally. I bought this off the strength of Daniel and Davina's workshop which was brilliant - buy that instead!

  • Sonia M. May 17, 2018

    Amazing work from these two -down to earth- photographers! I connected with them on many levels. Your able to get inside how they work, it's not always about the gear, so yeah, I've been inspired by them!! LOVE their process on how to get story-telling images. Gracias Davina + Daniel, for making this class my FAV I own.

  • Tatyana J. May 10, 2018

    It is an amazing workshop!!! It would be nice to see more of them &&&

  • Fresh Look Photography J. Apr 23, 2018

    If you are looking to uplevel your wedding game, this course is for you! Davina and Daniel share their heart in what makes a successful wedding day, how to capture the moment and tell a story... and it's so much better than simply learning "posing" or "lighting". They take the time to break down WHAT we are looking for, and how to best capture it in our images. Couldn't recommend it more highly!!!
