    Very disappointed with this class at this point I'm glad I have the creator pass and didn't directly pay for this individual class. in no way is this photojournalistic style wedding I've only watched the first two lessons and all the two photographers do is pose and arrange items breaking all the rules of photojournalism. On the other hand the true master of photojournalistic wedding in an excellent class here on creative live is Tyler Wirken, Tyler rocks it his class is well worth the watch if you're into photojournalistic style I will not finish watching this wedding.

    I would agree with Sandra. Whereas there is much to learn from this program, it us NOT wedding photojournalism. It is very controlled shooting which involved constantly directing the subjects and moments. It is traditional wedding photography. Theres nothing wrong with that. But, it was/is misleading to label it photojournalism. The name should be changed in the interest of honesty.

    This is one of the more slower-paced courses I have taken on Creative Live. I ended up watching the videos over a span of about 4 months, but enjoyed every moment of it. Watching Joe and Rich work is a beautiful dance. I love Joe's philosophy and he instills a calm spark in all that he does. The way he looks at angles, approaches situation and works with his clients is mesmerizing. I highly recommend this course if you are looking to be inspired by wonderful philosophy and to gain valuable insight through watching a master in action.

    I gained a lot of valuable information about photography. It gave me new insight on trying different things and it is ok to made mistake. The great photographers have bad photos too. I photography a wedding for a friends family member. I was looking for the moments of the wedding. One was the bride & groom looking at each other with deep love as the wedding party is scrambling around. One great shot of the couple from the hip. The whole moment took less than 3 to 4 seconds. P-mode and meter lock technique help out with the different lighting. I still watch the videos for a refresher. Thank you for this course.
