Thank you, Bruce.
Based on what I saw, I'd have to agree with your choice. She's pretty
engaging (and easy on the eyes) -- though, I wouldn't want to be her
stenographer. ;)
Welp! Time to start saving pennies again.

I think your choice is between these three:

Were it me I'd likely go for the first, Ms. Star. It's also 5 days
worth and covers the most specifics.
Watch the sample footage and see if you like how the instructor works.
Some of them turn me right off and I can't watch. Every one is
different. Some are so good I can't stop watching, even though I
generally dislike videos.
While they're all aimed at a full-time pro wedding biz, there are lots
of tips and techniques for shooting in churches, the key moments to
watch for (ring exchange; bride preps, etc.).

Thanks, Bruce.
Are there any specific video courses that you'd recommend?
(I don't know if it's an omen, but as I was typing the previous email, I
went to take my second sip of my first cup of coffee, only to look down and
discover that a fly had decided to end its life therein.)

I believe that the monetary returns on wedding shooting are
commensurate with the effort required. If you decide to go ahead with
it, you should be prepared to spend some money on some training -- at
the *very least* -- and I can recommend the Creative Live videos. They
range from $79 - $149 and you get up to 24 hours of video for that.
I've watched quite a few of these and even bought one package it was
so good.
(They are free to watch live, but you have to have a _lot_ of free
time to watch an entire 3-day course live; 8 hours per day.)

Well, I approached my friend Dan about using the unfinished area of his
home
as a studio, and he readily agreed (as expected) and wouldn't hear of
charging me for the use of it (again, as expected -- though, I'll insist
on
compensating him by hook or by crook). I'm supposed to go over there
today
and get started on the cleanup and preparation. It'll take a little work
and
time, but not a whole lot. As I mentioned on a previous thread, the place
is
just about ideal as a photography studio. So, as of now, everything's
proceeding nicely.
After I talked to him yesterday and left for work, I got an email from
him
asking if I'd be interested in shooting a wedding. Seems his sister is
getting married early this fall -- in Maine. At Walker's Point. I'm
supposed
to talk to her about it today when I go over to start working on the
studio
space. Needless to say, I'm a bit nervous about the prospect. I've only
done
extremely informal wedding photos so far, and I'm not sure I'm up to the
task. Still, I feel like I'd be a complete idiot to pass up the
opportunity.
I just want to make sure I'm not getting in over my head before I even
have
a chance to get off the ground.
It kind of makes me glad I'm going bald. At least no one will notice when
I
start pulling my hair out, or if it just decides to fall out on its own.
