These are some of the most in depth courses for wedding videographers I've ever seen! The way Emma dives into, not only the filming side of things, but the pre-production and communication side as well, is simply invaluable. If you're wanting to improve your wedding filmmaking process, this will be the easiest money you've ever spent!
I love that the course doesn’t seem to have anything unnecessary - no fluff at all. Straight to the point and informative for every second of it. I was pleasantly surprised to get a glimpse of how you approach the day as a whole - which sets you up for such efficiency when shooting the ceremony. From your gear to your team - I find it SO VALUABLE that you include how you approach the way you speak to guests, how you delegate and prepare your team, and how you prepare your gear and explain your gear not only for just the ceremony but even small insights to how you disperse your gear for your team throughout the day. GOLDEN. And for such an affordable price? GOLDEN! I’ve just recently began having 3 shooters for the majority of my weddings - I think that you explaining your reasoning behind a team of at least 3 is going to be very eye-opening for everyone who purchases. The way that you communicate with your team is amazing - it shifts this course from being “How does EMMA do it all” to “How does EMMA and EMMA’s TEAM do it all” while also highlighting the correct way to equip your team to capture everything with efficiency and finesse all at the same time.
"Watching Emma’s cocktail hour mini-course felt like sitting down with a filmmaker I deeply admire and getting a front-row seat to how she truly works.
What I loved most is how clearly she breaks down her entire prep process. She doesn’t just talk about the shots she wants during cocktail hour — she shows how she prepares for the wedding day as a whole, how she sets her team up for success, how she chooses and packs her gear, and how she builds a game plan long before guests arrive. Seeing the intention behind every decision made it so easy to understand how she consistently creates elevated, luxury-feeling work.
This course gives such a close and honest look at her perspective on how to film cocktail hour with intention. She explains exactly how she moves through the space, how she interacts with guests, what she’s prioritizing, and why certain shots matter. As someone who truly believes cocktail hour is one of the most underrated yet important parts of a wedding day, it was refreshing to see a course that treats it with the attention it deserves. The value of this mini-course is absolutely greater than its price in my opinion! For $109, the amount of detail and clarity she provides is far beyond what you would expect. It feels like getting to shadow her in real time, with nothing held back!
If someone is filming cocktail hour for the very first time, this course gives them a solid foundation and a full roadmap. And if you’re an experienced filmmaker who just wants to take a closer look at Emma’s signature style, her workflow, and her decision-making, you’ll still walk away with so many new ideas!
This course is packed with value, practical insight, and real luxury-level execution. And I think any filmmaker, beginner or advanced, will benefit from learning from a resource like this!"
"$109/each is a STEAL. You literally broke down every single detail of ceremony cocktail hour. I know that this will answer a lot of questions that videographers may have regarding teamwork, gear, planning, scoping, routines, etc."
"As a seasoned wedding videographer who has filmed well over one hundred weddings, I can confidently say this mini course is monumentally valuable. It is truly a steal for the price point. Emma pulls back the curtain and gives you an unfiltered, close up look at how one of the industry’s best approaches a wedding ceremony from start to finish. Emma does not just tell you what she is doing. She brings you into her inner dialogue, her decision making, her gear choices, her communication with other vendors, and the thought process behind every move she makes. Watching her explain camera settings, tripod workflow, drone strategy, guest sightline awareness, and timing was incredibly refreshing, even at my experience level.
Whether you are just getting started or you have been in the game for years, the value here is undeniable. This course challenges you to rethink your approach, refine your workflow, and elevate your creative eye to match what high end clients expect. It takes you out of your usual rhythm and forces you to see weddings from a much more intentional, story focused, and driven perspective. This is one of those rare educational experiences that meets you exactly where you are while also leveling you up. Beginners will find clarity and confidence, and seasoned filmmakers will find fresh inspiration, advanced nuance, and industry leading perspective.
Emma created something special here. This is the kind of resource that genuinely makes you better. If you are serious about growing as a filmmaker and want to understand how to approach wedding ceremonies with precision, professionalism, and luxury level intention, this mini course is an absolute must."
As a wedding filmmaker, I’m constantly looking for education that goes beyond surface-level tips and actually shows how a professional thinks and works in real time. Emma’s cocktail hour mini course is exactly that. It is one of the most valuable behind-the-scenes breakdowns I’ve seen in our industry.
What stood out immediately was her full transparency. She walks through the exact gear she uses, her in-camera settings, and the reasoning behind every choice. But the real value is hearing her thought process as she films. Emma talks through how she approaches compositions, how she anticipates moments, and how she navigates a crowded space while still capturing elevated, intentional footage.
The mini course also gives a live look at how Emma interacts with guests and vendors. Seeing how she communicates, respects everyone’s personal space, and makes people feel comfortable was incredibly helpful. Her language, tone, and presence are things you can immediately implement.
Another major highlight was her approach to time management and prioritizing key shots. She breaks down the layout of the space, keeps a mental shot list running in the back of her mind, and clearly communicates responsibilities to her second shooters. Watching her delegate with clarity and purpose is invaluable for any filmmaker trying to build a stronger team workflow.
Overall, this course is full of practical, immediately usable insights. Emma is generous with her knowledge and genuinely committed to helping other filmmakers elevate their craft. I walked away with new tools that will improve my efficiency, my communication, and the overall quality of my work.
For anyone wanting to refine the way they film cocktail hours or simply learn from someone who leads with intention and experience, this course is absolutely worth it.
