you guys are awesome!! i seriously cannot express how much i appreciate the work you guys do on here! without exaggeration i am on your site 2 to 3 times a day soaking in the wealth of knowledge you guys provide to the photography industry as a whole. i thank you so much for what you do!!
That means a lot to us Taylor. Never in a million years would I have thought FS would have become what it is today...it's a bit overwhelming actually. I'm glad to know people are still enjoying it as much as we still are today
Happy New Year Fstoppers! You've been an awesome resource and website for so many photographers...keep up the awesome work! Viva L'Italia!!! :)
Shooting Weddings is something big with lot of planning and traditions where we have to be at the right place at the right time. I want this DVD to help me feel more confident and learn from people who do this as their speciality. For now I only shot 4 weddings, both videos and photos.
I'm in ! Such a great idea,
You are doing a great job and I'll not stop reading you guys, in 2013! Keep up!
I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting both you guys when you were in Glasgow last year, and I had expressed my interest and ambition becoming a wedding photographer. Thanks in part to you and your site, that is becoming a reality! I have booked three weddings for next year, and whilst that isn't a record to beat, it's a start, one with no portfolio, as it has been almost impossible to find a job as a second anywhere. I have the confidence to meet these people, and I am sure that I will do well, but I can't think of something that would serve me better in the upcoming year than your training DVD. I am throwing my hat into the ring with the absolute hope that luck can swing my way, but you guys have given me knowledge and experience in other ways, and I thank you for that! All the best guys, hope the work pays off!
This seems to be the best Christmas gift.. Santa wants me to learn wedding photography from the masters.. :)
I would be very happy to win this thing. Had "my first wedding" about three weeks ago. But it was simple. Just four people ;) including me :D
now I want to learn something about the bigger ones :)
This is going to be interesting! And I´m glad to see you back on fs!
14+ hours of tutorial. I must win this. great job guys.
If its even half as good as the Peter Hurley one, its gonna be phenomenal!
14+ hours of tutorial. I must win this. great job guys.
Have seen your earlier video of Peter Hurley Headshots video which was great so really need a copy of this as i know its going to be awesome also :-). Keep up the good work guys.
Deaks
ive been trying the uphill battle in Hawaii of going from landscape to weddings as a full time job, and a DVD like this will be appreciated on all fronts...im hoping you've included a chapter on stress as well
Thanks for your dedication guys! Your knowledge and experience really helps us little guys out! This stuff would really help me out and I continue to shoot weddings! Crossing my fingers for the win!
Fstoppers is one of my favorite photography sites. The coolest thing a couple of wedding photographers have ever put together... period! I'm a small-time wedding photographer in South Texas, but I'd love to win this and improve my business.
Where in South Texas, if you don't mind me asking?
San Antonio area, Hill Country
Oh you're pretty close. I live in the Rio Grande Valley... which takes 'South Texas' to a whole new level. LOL.
Good luck to winning the DVD, it's amazing!
Kudos to you two.
I am writing 5 words.
Well, I wanted to see a video like this, can't wait to see it ! Great job guys !

Even If i'm not one of the lucky winners, there is no doubt that I will own this.. You are my one stop shop for everything photography, Never have I seen anyone else so up front to the photography community. Everything you all have created has been top notch, I have no doubt this will be some of your best work!
I like weddings. I like taking photos. It's like peanut butter meeting chocolate to make some Reeses!!

What a nice promo! Can't wait until Jan 6th!
If this DVD contains 10% of the knowledge you selflessly share everyday then it will be worth the price. Written by wedding photographers for wedding photographers. Can't wait.
