    I can't imagine anyone doing a better presentation on this topic. Ray is the consummate professional. His technical knowledge + experience + acceptance of full responsibility, put in in the class of a true professional. His previous work history reflects this self-discipline. He's a no-excuse pro, and has a great personality and ability to teach. I don't shoot video, but his teaching will influence my wedding photography. Just get the course. Creative Live, you hit a home run with this instructor!

    Good night Ray. Very good course. I would like to ask for tips from reference sites or youtube channels where I can learn more about editing in the premier.

    Beautiful workshop, I can't thank you enough.

    The content provided here is great for videographers starting out in the wedding industry and also for pros/semi-pros fine tuning their video skills. In fact this is the only course in wedding videography that I can find on Creative Live. There are a couple other for corporate or film making video course, not dealing with wedding video. Also an HDDSLR course is available. That said Creative Live needs to put out a couple more updated wedding video courses, as this one is a several years old now and many pros are now using Dual-Pixel autofocus or fast sensor auto-focusing in Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and now Nikon also in Z cameras with great stabilization in many cameras (which should be discussed affecting the shots and video coverage). Although the rest of the course is great on how to plan out video coverage at your wedding, with the advent of great autofocusing systems today in DSLRs and mirrorless that could make some difference to how video is shot. I still give this course a thumbs up, as it is the best course (and only course) currently on CreativeLive for wedding video/cinematography, however I would encourage CL to create a new course being developed and recorded as much as happened in the last 5 years in video DSLRs and mirrorless, which makes a difference to shooting video. How wedding video coverage is done and planning the shots and angles of view, and equipment is still useful information to buy this course. The presenter Ray Roman is also an excellent teacher. So get this course now, and another one once an update is made. CL has lots of photo courses on wedding, not many for wedding video.

    Awesome . Ray is on point

  • H. Jan 5, 2017

    I learned a lot from this course excellent class..but I just would've liked for him to teach a little bit more about editing the video and to explain the different formats and codecs.

  • J. Dec 29, 2016

    Great man with a great class. A definite recommendation from me !!!!

  • U. Dec 28, 2016

    I just purchased Ray Roman's wedding cinematography course and am so glad I did! The amount of information Ray shares here is worth much more than the price of this course. Ray is an wonderful instructor and I'm getting more inspired with each lesson I watch. This is definitely going to help me elevate my craft and my business. I highly recommend this course!

  • Tim O. Nov 9, 2016

    I did this course a couple of weeks before my first wedding. After hearing a lot of bad experiences from videographers hating the idea of shooting a wedding, to being inspired by how creative I could be after watching this training series, I was able to use everything taught and be prepared for what to expect on the day. Client is absolutely blown away and I couldn't possibly have been able to do it without this course!

  • C. Jul 11, 2016

    I can not express how much this course has helped me. I've watched hours of youtube videos and read dozens of blogs by other wedding videographers. Unlike the rest, Ray really gives you a distinct perspective on the craft and business of Wedding Cinematography. He distills in his seminar the keys to standing out and being at the top of your game. I highly recommend this course to anyone seriously considering wedding cinematography in high end markets.

  • Jonathan B. Jun 27, 2016

    There isn't a better introduction to wedding cinema. Excellent class.

  • Nicholas E. Jun 24, 2016

    Never before have I been able to find all this information in one place, and from such a qualified instructor. This is a great class I'm going to have all my second shooters view from now on before tackling a project. This course is well worth the price and should be looked at as an investment in yourself and your future business.

  • V. Jun 24, 2016

    Roman is canidid, helpful and inspiring. Despite his high-class videos, he's super down to earth and encourages you to be successful and strive for more. This class is packed with helpful tips and above all helps you stay encouraged along the tough road of trying to make it in wedding cinematography.

  • Eric R. Jun 24, 2016

    Awesome class. This definitely helped me kickstart my wedding video business.

  • I. Dec 23, 2015

    Great class. Great instructor. From not knowing anything about cinematography, Ray Roman's class made me feel like a pro & gave me the confidence I needed to go out and take risks and be more creative.

  • Henry A. Oct 29, 2015

    Ray is simply the best and a beast at shooting and teaching weddings, with no prior wedding cinematography experience i took this course and have been able to build my business up in only two years in the Nigerian community using very simple and basic techniques i learned from his course. Best investment so far!

  • Ryan W. Oct 29, 2015

    This course is a more than worth the investment. With this course, I have refined my skill, gained incredible perspective on marketing myself and my services, and have gained a great resource to get my regular second shooters on the same page with me. The class is engaging and full of wonder examples to inspire you to take your work to the next level, even if you don't intend on developing a style or structure like Ray's.

  • J. Oct 29, 2015

    This course will take your wedding and live event videography skills to the next level. Ray's approach is clear and concise, and I consider it the reason my company not only was able to raise our pricing significantly in a short amount of time, but also completely wow our customers with films that transcend their memory of the event itself. One of the best business perspectives that I gleaned from this course was that I needed to guide and educate my clients in order to create a filming environment that allowed for the best video and audio to be captured. Worth every penny.

  • F. Oct 29, 2015

    This course is a MUST WATCH for EVERY wedding videographer no matter how experienced you are. Ray pretty much gives away his trade secrets that make his videos so stunning. He also goes into the business side of things which is also very helpful. I liked that he's humble and doesn't come across as a Know It All captain of industry guru like I've seen with some other instructors.

    A couple of years ago, I made a bold and somewhat wreckless choice to take out a home equity loan in order to help finance my son's dream to start a wedding cinematography business. Together, we embarked on a journey to learn everything we could about the business. The most important choice we made was to purchase the Ray Roman Wedding Cinematography course. This class saved us so much money as it helped us understand our camera, audio and essential and non-essential gear. We were inspired by the artistry in Ray's work and have implemented many of his techniques in order to Improve the quality and production value of our films. In under three years, we have filmed over 50 weddings and our company is well established in our area. Buying Ray's class was easily the best investment I made for my son's business, One Night Only Films. Thank you Creativelive and Ray Roman for helping us start a successful and profitable business.
