    I picked up some good tips from this class even though I consider myself past a beginner. There are some very important points here that I never took into consideration. Great class even for non-beginners !

    Informative and straight to the point with some honest opinions. I did find it funny when Susan went to the audience of 1 and kept referring to her as Marm

    Fantastic Course. Susan is well prepared, very informative and very entertaining. She puts it all out there. She is 100% a PRO. She was fun to watch and she makes beautiful images.

    Honestly, I thought this was a great and pretty informative, all-encompassing course. Great for beginners, but even as a slightly more seasoned photographer, I found a lot of this super helpful. Much of it wasn't news to me, but a lot of it I found just hasn't been on my radar recently. I think it's always a good idea to return to basics every now and then. There is always more to learn, and I feel I can definitely learn from someone with a great deal more experience than myself. As soon as I can afford it, I'll be buying more of her courses, I respond to her very well!

    I honestly love this class. I'm just starting out as a photographer, and like she said, a friend's wedding just sort of fell into my lap. I had no intentions of trying to photograph any weddings this first year of learning, but I was persuaded by the fact that my friend really just wants photos to look back at. This class is helping me get prepared, it's making me feel more confident, and it's teaching me things that I didn't know or was very unsure about. If you are new in your photography venture like I am, I would highly recommend this class!

    Very helpful and informative. I found that I knew a lot of the things you went over already, but what was most helpful for me was your confidence that anyone can start a wedding photography business. It just takes time. Thank you so much Susan!
