As a wedding photographer of 10+ years, I can honestly say that you're always learning and always trying to improve or perfect your art. I randomly, compleeeetely randomly, came upon this video and the way you gave each set of poses 'names' helps me to not only remember them, but also to incorporate more of some and less of some others. Thanks!

Maybe you can do a mini series on your booking, whole wedding day and delivery. Break the episodes up by parts of the process. Example.. ep.1 communication and booking, ep.2 getting ready and first look, ep.3 ceremony, ep.4 cocktail hour and reception, ep.5 post process and delivery. Something along those lines. It would be nice to see you go into more detail, and it would draw viewers into continue watching the next video. I haven't seen a lot of youtubers do multi-part videos like that in this genre.

Watch John branch before your wedding is like taking your vitamins in the morning👌 I subconsciously and consciously made more successful decisions in decisive situations where in the past, I would have fried in a pan. Instead I chef'd up some great photos 📸 and memories as John guided me. I can not thank you enough, John. Experiance is the greatest teacher, but having an experienced teacher helps in ways that can not be put into words.

John I just love the work that you do, even your videos. I am a truck driver that never had a hobby yet always wanted one. Thought about starting a KZbin channel and was encouraged by my now wife, she thought i knew enough about cars and thought I would be good at it. Long story short, I didn’t. Tired of being on the road, and channels like yours got me to the idea of further working for myself and doing something that i know I will enjoy. On the road for almost 30 years and getting too old for it, I want to spend time home with family and do something I want to do. Bought my canon RC5 simply because I wasn’t sure if i wanted to go into the video or the photography side of things, or even both. I just wanted to say thank you for what you do for the community. I will be getting out there and getting to know my camera and let things fall into place, by taking it one step at a time as well as a day at a time. Looking forward to my future! Many thanks!
