Why a SECOND Photographer is Beneficial

Weddings can be stressful enough… you definitely don’t want to worry about your photos of the big day! Why you should consider hiring a second photographer for your wedding:


Bride and Groom at their Wedding

Let’s talk about all those extra shots you could get! A second photographer can get extra angles that just one wouldn’t be able to.


· The Aisle Walk

All the attention here goes to the bride as she makes her way down the aisle (as it should!) butttttt wouldn’t it be nice to also be able to capture the reactions of the groom, the wedding party, and others in attendance?? That’s the beauty of a second shooter for your wedding, you don’t have to miss those moments!

· Getting Ready

It is very common for the photographer to be present while the bride and bridal party get ready. Special and intimate moments are captured before the wedding and is often so beautiful to see! The Groom and his party deserve those memories too! It can be hard (actually impossible) for one photographer to be in two places at once but two photographers could easily manage it!

· Wedding Party Photos

Of course, the wedding party and family will get priority when taking photos but a second photographer could be focusing on the details of the reception and guests at the same time!


· Dance Floor vs. Tables

Continuing into the night, one photographer’s main focus could be capturing the dance floor while the other gets photos of the guests at the tables—no one gets left out!

Whether you’ve decided on having a second shooter for your wedding, it’s always important to talk to both photographers first! Your main photographer may have someone who works for them as a second shooter already! Personally, I hire my own to work alongside me to ensure that we get along and work well together! You always want to make sure everyone is up to date and in the loop so that plans can go smoothly! :)
