"All going well here. Had a productive first wedding season with 12
weddings all in all and quite a few booked for next year. It's been a
very enjoyable learning curve and something I wouldn't have been able to
start on without your excellent course! - Clive Nolan"
"Just wanted to say thanks. I got the DVD course at the end of last year
in preparation for a friends wedding. I gave them the photos last week
and they are absolutely thrilled. Definitely could not have done it
without your help. The basic camera setting you recommend in the DVD was
worth the price on it's own. I didn't get a single badly exposed shot "
- Lee Brookes, UK."

THE FAQ
Here is the FAQ from the website for your easy reference.
Where Are You Based?
We are in the UK but sell and ship the Wedding Photography Blueprint Worldwide.
How Do I Know Your Techniques and Tutorials Will Apply in My Country?
All cameras used worldwide are
fundamentally the same. One major difference is that the video frame
rates may differ depending on your location but we even cover that in
the DVD's.
Other factors such as lighting,
composition, posing, low light, lenses, flash, off camera flash etc are
all relevant regardless of where you live. The DVD's are universal.
Will They Play On My DVD Player?
Yes. All DVD's are set "region free" (or Region 0) which means they will play on most DVD players regardless of country and any computer, PC or MAC.
Is The Advice Really Technical? Will I Understand It?
We pride ourselves on creating training
products that are not only useful and helpful to all standards and
experiences of photographer, but also easy to understand regardless of
your current knowledge level.
We don't use too many technical terms but
when we do, we explain clearly what these mean, sometimes with visual
aids. You will be fine!
Is Shipping Extra?
There is a nominal, flat fee of just
£3.50 for the DVD's to be shipped anywhere in the world. Any additional
handling and packing charges at the time of shipping are absorbed by us.
How Big is the Package I Will Receive?
The DVD's will be shipped in a single DVD
box set which has the standard dimensions of a DVD case other than its
thickness which is 35mm due to holding 8 DVD's. They will be shipped in
either a jiffy bag or small box depending on availability.
Do You Offer Support?
Absolutely. Our contact details are on
this website and we are available most days. Extra support is available
through our private membership site and we offer a free 6 month's
membership as part of the package valued at £80, details of which are
available upon purchase.
ANALYSIS
Many desperate people like me would try anything which they feel can make bucks of cash and that includes some of the testimonial givers claiming the product is very helpful to them. They are not necessarily natural photography enthusiasts, and admittedly, neither am I.
To my opinion, this product is suitable for the new beginners and those who wish to expand further about learning photography as step by step guide is given to them. Those who are already in photography business still have the opportunity to learn about this product and judge about it's efficiency. Comes with full money back guarantee, we have previews, testimonials and the products offered and obviously, that this product is legitimate and trustworthy. It was sold worldwide for four (4) years and assisted hundreds of people to run their own photography business.
As at this moment, I never heard and seen from any website, engine search and any other resources that this product is a scam. I came across many of the online money-making scheme [not a photography product] which promises you gazillion dollar profit as we heard many times before and even if it is legitimate, you still need at least a product like this to earn your money and I believe therefore, it is safe for the photography enthusiast to pursue with this good product as they may consider to venture in.
We experience the year 2010's economic downturn since 2001 but it still doesn't affect the wedding photography and honeymoon industry. Do you know that in 2010 only at both the UK and US alone, the wedding photography revenue reached £4 billion?
Here are testimonial videos:-

Note: The product now comes with 8 DVDs instead of previously 4 mentioned in above video.
I did not expect you to believe me yet but perhaps you may want to consider carefully from this before you purchase:-
"Absolutely brilliant DVD. Very
informative and easy to follow. Nick explains things well and all
aspects of a wedding are covered. Not too technical, just what you need
to get started. Highly recommended, I am very pleased I purchased this
DVD package." - Keith B, Wedding Photography Blueprint 2.0 Buyer

"Hi
I have recently retired as a business
services manager with a major company in Crawley West Sussex and decided
to get my qualifications as a professional photographer as I have been a
very keen amateur photographer for well over 40 years I'm also pleased
to say that I have now just completed a photographic course with the
Institute of Professional Photography and was awarded a diploma with
merit.
I just completed my first wedding in
Yorkshire, England using your settings and advice from your wedding
photography tips blueprint DVDs...
The good news is I received a telephone
call from the bridegrooms' mother crying with happiness at how pleased
she was with my photographs which gave me a massive confidence boost. I
appreciate that most of the good results were down to my hard work
however, the settings you give in your Blueprint DVDs worked a treat and
I would recommend your DVD course to anybody who is thinking about
doing wedding photography, whether for one wedding for a friend or
family member or if they are intending to start up their own wedding
photography business.
Can't thank you enough for the confidence your advice has given me in my new venture as a wedding photographer."

"I purchased your Wedding Photography
Blueprint DVD's within seven days of your offer. Always looking for a
bargain, off went my hard earned pounds and what did I get by return in
the post - four excellent DVD's. These DVD's have already saved my
commercial life three times in the last twelve days.
Although I have been taking wedding
photographs for the last twenty five years (one a year) since graduating
from Art College I am still learning. I set up as a professional
wedding photographer earlier this year after buying £*000's worth of
Nikon digital pro camera kit, an Apple Mac and assorted software
packages (God bless my wife).
I am a natural salesman so had no problem
getting paying clients to use my rusty services but I was really in at
the deep end. Never mind, press on regardless and take the pictures -
talk about skating on thin ice.
Off I went to a natural light wedding
seminar and my advanced knowledge base went through the roof. All I
needed now was the basics - and my concerns were quickly satisfied when
your DVD's dropped through the door. The practical skills you
demonstrated, I was able to use virtually two days after watching the
DVD's.
I started to hone my skills further (as
per your DVD) last Saturday at a large wedding held in a beautiful
country church, local castle complete with marquee and 300 stunning
guests dancing the night away at disco with an unbelievable light show.
All these lighting situations would have
fazed me had I not watched the DVD's (and read the eBook) before
attending this wedding.
Thanks for your help and good luck with
the new business activity. PS I am available for second shooting gigs
anytime you are in the Midlands (or Tuscany, Santorini, Mykonos and
California)
Regards and keep up the good work!"
