The Burman Method of shooting in manual is something I came up with while teaching high school photojournalism. The idea of controlling every setting is scary when you first start shooting in manual, but let me be the first to tell you, it will open a world of amazing memories. Those crisp pictures of kids jumping in the kiddie pool in the summer, or the blurry sparkler pictures at the lake where the kids make hearts or try to spell things, these are the types of things you can do when shooting in manual. I will give you a simple saying and explain how even after ten years of professional shooting, I still use this saying when preparing for a session. There is a downloadable worksheet to take notes, and moments to pause in the course to try the new settings. Join the masses and enjoy The Burman Method of shooting in manual.

I have shot over 40 weddings, and I can tell you the best thing I can bring to a wedding is not a fancy new camera, it is a solid timeline. Building a timeline with your couple is crucial to your success on the wedding day (and beyond). You have an opportunity to share your expertise beyond photography, you have the ability to partake in excitement with the couple as the share their special plans, and you can offer feedback unlike any vendor. I have a three question set up where I can gather enough information to make a skeleton of a timeline and then have the couple add the details. I have had more positive feedback from timeline building from brides and family members than any other facet of a wedding day, other than pictures of course. Let me share with you the tips on setting up a timeline and how I share these documents to create a space where the couple feels like they have been heard and supported.
