"What can I say about Nick and the Wedding Photography course?

I think the best way to review any course or lecturer is to ask the question "Would I go back again?" In Nick's case the answer has to be as often as he would let me.

After experiencing Nick's patience and infinite generosity in teaching all that he can during and after this course and a previous course. I would have to say that he is by far the best teacher I have ever had.

He doesn't give 100% or even 110% he goes even further than that. His openness to show us where we were going wrong and from my point even to show some of his own work that went wrong and how to correct it, was worth every penny.

He brings the mystery of the wedding photographers craft down to earth with a bump. It has given me so much confidence to be able to photograph weddings and even to venture into Wedding photography as a career I never thought I was good enough to enter.

Thanks Nick and all the best with your DVD. I can't wait to see it and get my copy."

"This is the second course I have been on with Nick and this one certainly dotted the I's and crossed the T's.

Even though Nick was filming during the course he did not at any time forget that we were there to learn. He had models, a make up artist and hairdresser there for the occasion in a beautiful Manor House.

He taught us the importance of doing the safe shots before trying candid and stealth photos. Upon completion of the photographing he also covered in depth the use of developing and importance of the RAW photography."

"Fantastic!

What else could I say about this course. It made me realise just what was achievable and where I needed guidance. Nick is so easy and honest to talk to. Where I am there are no training courses and all the photographers treat their profession like a magic show.

Nick showed us that it is not beyond our reach and how to get the best out of the different situations. Nick is so straightforward and open about how to improve our photography.

Wonderful man and his family were so helpful and welcoming it made the course a real pleasure.

Thanks Nick!"

"Hi Nick

I just wanted to say thanks for the wedding photography course. I was a little worried about what to expect, usefulness, subject matter etc, BUT I did not need to worry!

You were so enthusiastic about your subject, so happy to blow away myths, worries and concerns about Wedding Photography and the three things that kept surfacing over the three days were:

• Preparation
• Preparation
• Preparation

I knew it was important, but Nick's patient, succinct and useful tips gave a great deal of comfort about my approach to my own upcoming wedding season.

Nick covered every aspect of the day, went through different lighting conditions, use of flash AND so important for me how to cope when flash is not allowed...go for safety shots every time, you don't get a second chance ramp up the ISO and capture the moment.

I also appreciated the business like approach, we do need to earn money, we do need to enjoy what we do, we do need give confidence to our clients and we do need to deliver!

I do feel better equipped, I will be practising what I have learnt and I will be asking more questions so beware LOL!

Thank you Nick !"

"This was my second wedding photography course and found the one run by Nick was the Icing on the cake I need to boost my confidence about joining the ranks of a Wedding Photographer.

His knowledge, which he gave without reservation, of photography was impressive. This and his guidance given about camera settings was the missing ingredient I was lacking."

Maurice Stanford - UK

"After attending your Wedding Photography Weekend recently, I would like to express my thanks.

I have never met anybody as enthusiastic about photography, with a genuine drive to help his fellow photographers improve. It was great to talk photography from the minute I arrived, to the minute I left on the Saturday evening. You packed such a lot of invaluable information into such a short time, it was worth its weight in gold.

Your training was easy to understand and you and your family made me feel very welcome and at ease from the word go. Your wealth of experience, and examples of your stunning work certainly helped to set what you had taught in my mind.

Your sense of humour and friendly approach also made me feel not so much of a pupil, more a friend showing a friend what to do, although the content of your course was professional and appropriate.

The trip to the church was also a great experience. While practising my skills, you were on hand to guide me all along if I got into difficulty.

I am certainly looking forward to the next course.

All the best."

"Nick's enthusiasm is infectious and his techniques for teaching you really work. I can honestly say I learnt more in one day, than I did in 6 evening classes.

As a complete beginner, I was initially worried that I wasn't advanced enough to get as much as I could out of the course, but it was taught in a very accessible way and started with the basics so I never felt out of my depth.

I would definitely recommend staying at the guest house too if you can - it made such a difference getting to know people on the course, and I was still learning tips and tricks when eating dinner!

I expected to finish the course with the knowledge of how to work the equipment properly, but I came away with so much more, including insights into the business of wedding photography and the technical skills needed for successful photos."
