"Hi Phil
I have already put some of the training into practice last night at an appointment with a bride and groom. I think before your course I would have given up on the whole thing and felt daunted by the fact everything was against me, after 10 minutes battling with the noise I used a bit more eye contact, my smiles and enthusiasm over my work to win them over and I can happily say I went away feeling like I had won them over a little. They still had another photographer to see but instead of trying to compete I just highlighted my skills.

I had just got home when I received a phone call to say they wanted to book me straight away and was cancelling the other photographers appointment. I've got to say this was one of my most challenging appointments I've had and your course couldn't have come at a more appropriate time."
