John Branch IV

Reception lighting is often dark, mixed, and constantly changing, which is exactly where flash tends to intimidate photographers the most. In this class, John Branch IV breaks down the tools and basic setups needed to get over that fear and start using flash with confidence. Attendees will leave with a simple starting point for reception lighting and the comfort level to keep building from there.

Couples want their wedding day captured in every way possible, and more of them are looking for video and shareable content alongside their photos. You don't need a separate crew or a whole new business to offer it. You're already there, already telling their story, and you already have the eye for it. In this session, John Branch IV shows you how to capture video, photo, and social-ready content at the same time, so you can give your couples more and add real value to what you already do.

You'll learn the basics of video, how hybrid shooting works in real time on a wedding day, how to use your phone and other devices to capture content, and how to make it all look polished and professional.
