Groom prep is SO HARD! I'm a female photographer and am not naturally an outgoing person, so connecting and photographing the Groom and guys is hard and I'm never quite satisfied. I'd LOVE to see a video on it!

I've been watching from the beginning as a "hobby" photographer. This fall, though, my husband and I are shooting our first wedding! We are excited and nervous, but have gained a lot of confidence through all of your resources, KJ! Thank you SO much for sharing such informative and educational content!!

I don't even want to do weddings; but this almost makes me want to try.

Behind the scenes... this is amazing! I'm always doubting myself wondering if I am doing it the right way and this just helped my confidence so much... Now to get better where I am not as well off. Thank you so much Katelyn! Looking forward to the rest of this series!!!

I’d love to see some situations where you have to do a first look outside and it’s very harsh light, with absolutely no option for shade. Love this new series!!

I'm so excited for this series. I definitely have the hardest time directing, I guess I feel like I'm being bossy but it's part of the job!
