Paul is an excellent combination of instructor, supportor and motivator. He is very available for help and support and gives excellent critiques of your pictures. Paul taught me something through critiquing my photos that I don't know if I would have ever realized myself.I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to get involved in wedding photography or for anyone just interested in becoming a better photographer.

Paul is an excellent instructor. Outline of course is great. His lessons are to the point and alot to be learned from them. The latter lessons are to do with editing and he does a superb job of step by step tutorials.

Paul is a great teacher and photographer. He always made sure that our assignments were critiqued and our questions were answered. Paul was very helpful and made sure that if we had problems he would even talk us through it over the phone. I will one day take another course when I have the time. Thanks alot Paul for the confidence that you have given me. I am no longer afraid to try new things. Thanks again, Anne Gillespie (digital wedding course)

WOW - talk about a guy who loves his work and it shows IN his work, and in his course too.I have taken many BP courses. This one had an amazing amount of practical advice and expert shooting techniques that apply to ANY photographic situation. Paul is a great guy and is quick to answer questions and provide feedback. I was on vacation for most of this course, and am now going back to the missed assignments for my benefit. I'm only sorry I'll miss out on Paul's expert critiques. 5 star ALL the way. Thanks, Paul.

Paul is a phenominal instructor. This course allowed me to persue a parttime business in Wedding Photography. All instruction was invaluable but, I think Paul convinceing me to shoot in RAW really helped me to advance. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn or advance in a career in Wedding Photography or find out if weddings are for you. You will get a good taste of what your up against with the excellent assignments. Very challlengeing. Super class, super instructor. James

Paul Gero's Digital Wedding Photography was an excellent course for anyone considering getting into the wedding business. Paul was nothing but helpful, friendly and encouraging.Many of us on the course really picked Paul's brain and he was extremely forthcoming with answers to our questions and ways to improve our techniques. Paul was happy to share ideas on the business aspects, the photos, the gear or whatever people asked. I would not hesitate to recommend this course and Paul Gero is an absolutely fantastic teacher whom I found very inspiring. I will be some posting some photos from my latest wedding soon, and I really think my skills have improved no end in the last few months. Thanks again Paul!

This was my first BetterPhoto class and I loved it. Paul is a great teacher and I felt the lessons definitely got me thinking beyond my current skills and knowledge. I am going to miss my assignments and the awesome critiques from Paul. I'm excited to take more classes and continue to learn from these talented photographers and great teachers.

This class has been nothing but fun and talk about learning. The time and effort Paul puts into the class and being available and responding promptly is great. You get nothing but clear feedback and Paul goes above and beyond. I have read his book and the class is just as great! Definately I would take another class with Paul... Oh yeah that's right I already am "Using your canon strobe creatively" :)

It's hard to imagine being as good a teacher as you are a photographer...but that describes Paul perfectly. I have learned so much from this course, not only from Paul but from my very talented classmates. Paul's continual involvement in each thread only added to the learning experience. His very challenging, fun assignments, honest critiques and encouragement have been invaluable and inspiring. I would highly recommend this course and I will certainly be enrolling in another of Paul's courses soon. Thanks Paul!! Glenda Travis

I highly recommend Paul F. Gero's Digital Wedding Photography course to anyone even thinking of going into wedding photography. The class was highly informative, cleverly laid out, and thoughtfully prepared. Paul has a way about him that brings out the best in people and encourages class participation just by his sheer example. While I valued the lessons, the best part of the class was the Q&A sessions where he not only answered all questions quickly and in great detail, but he quickly volunteered his experiences and daily regime in the business without asking. I would easily take another course by him without hesitation. In fact, I did: I took his Canon Strobe class!Terrance Dobrosky sabyr@sbcglobal.net

Paul he really rocks! This course in Wedding Photography was away over what I expected to get from it. The lessons are full of useful information, tips and tricks. The way of how Paul shares of his knowledge in the Q&A is awesome. I have learned so much from this course and it will be something I have with me in my future. I can recommend you to take this course even if you do not attend to do some wedding photography. The technique Paul share will be useful even in daily live, and you will be able to take awesome party pictures after this course. You are great Paul! Best Robert Hammar Finland robert@ifokus.se

I highly recommend Paul F. Gero's Digital Wedding Photograph Course. Paul is a master photographer and a great teacher. He goes through - step by step and teaches you what you truly need to know. He knows what you need to learn and what to do becuase this is what Paul does, wedding photography. Paul is also very patient and takes the time to read each question that is posted and answers it quickly. He really gives one on one attention. I learned a few quick flash techniques from this course that I used at my next wedding and that alone was worth the price of this course. Thanks Paul for being a great teacher. All the best, Michelle Robinson

I highly recommend Paul F. Gero's online Digital Wedding Photography class. If you are serious about wedding photography and would like to learn from a seasoned professional who's still passionate about his work and cares about his students, then this course is for you. I discovered Paul's book Digital Wedding Photography before taking the online class. If the online class was half as good as the book, I knew I'd be in store for 8 great weeks of instruction. The online class goes into greater detail and I'm able to ask questions. The atmosphere of the class is encouraging and supportive and it's fun to interact and learn from class mates from around the world. Not only did my wedding coverage improve within the first two lessons, but I was able to use the principals he shared in all types of photography. I feel lucky to be in his first DWP online class. Once the word gets out, this course will fill quickly!Saludos, José Alvaro Colíndres, Todos Santos, B.C.S., México

We cannot say enough about Paul F. Gero's Digital Wedding Photography class. Paul is encouraging, approachable, accommodating, communicative, articulate, creative, enthusiastic. Everything you want in a teacher: That's Paul. He's even humble! And if anyone has a right to have a big head, it's Paul. His work is simply amazing. My husband Walter and I took this class together. Walter went into this almost totally green. I had some education and experience in photography but, with the memory of a harsh college teacher still vivid, went into this with very little confidence. Eight weeks later, our technical knowledge has grown more than we can believe, my confidence is back, and we feel armed and ready to take our wedding photography business dream and make it a reality. "It's worth the money" is a vast understatement. We heartily recommend this class. Charity and Walter Feb charityandwalterfeb@comcast.net

I highly recommend Paul Gero Digital Wedding Photography for many reasons. Paul is a first class teacher. He brings a lot to our class including patience. He answers any and all questions you have and continually encourages each student to be the best they can be. Paul goes above and beyond the call as a teacher, really working with each student to help them reach full potential. He shares not only his experiences but shows you by example. I can tell you that what I learned alone in the Q&A section was worth the price of the class, let alone all of the comments/suggestions Paul has given me on my photographs. He gives a 150% to this class. Don't wait, join, you will be learning from what I consider one of the best photographers of today. Questions, email me, mrobinson5@triad.rr.com. That is how much I believe in Paul! All the best, Michelle Robinson

I enjoyed Paul's class, I gave him a 4 because I haven't really taken a class on line before so I have nothing to compare to. I thought he was very prompted with his answers and chitques. I did learn a lot from the class. Thanks Kathy Tugwell
