THE WEDDING FILMMAKER'S GUIDE
It Takes More Than Camera Skills to Film a Wedding.
Filming a wedding can feel overwhelming, especially when you've never filmed one before.
I want to teach you how to prepare for a wedding, what equipment to bring, and which shots to prioritize so you can capture the important moments and create a beautiful wedding film that tells a story.

I watched this course weeks before a wedding and went into it entirely confident. I will revisit this often to really let everything continue to seep in and that’s going to be so easy to do with Thomas’s teaching style!

I have filmed multiple weddings in the past but was just looking for a course to refine my skills a little. And this class was a breath of fresh air. With Thomas's help, I went ahead and drafted a whole, new wedding game plan and shot list which will be extremely helpful moving forward.
