Here’s What You Get When You Include A Second Photographer.
You’re in the wedding planning phase. So exciting, and so much to consider!
Did you know that you have the option to book one OR two photographers for your wedding? The second photographer is referred to as the second shooter, and they are an important supporting role in capturing all of the moments of your big day!
Of course, they are often an additional expense when choosing a wedding photography package, so let’s break down some things to consider when making this decision.
See the whole day unfold, for everyone!
Your photographer joins you at the start of your day. If you’re getting ready separately, often they follow just one person - hair, makeup and outfits - before you meet your love. Having a second shooter, allows you to also document the other party’s getting ready moments.
If you’re worried about missing out on the candid pre-celebrations, a second shooter is a must!
The B-Roll is just as fun to look back on!
Hey A-team! Your wedding photographer is focused on the two of you, but you spent a lot of time, love and energy putting together a spectacular day. Let’s remember it. The second shooter is able to capture supportive imagery of all the little details (think tablescapes, champagne towers, venue architecture.)
Here’s looking at you… both of you!
You know that movie 27 Dresses? There’s one quote that perfectly describes why we love capturing all angles:
“You know how the bride makes her entrance and everybody turns to look at her? That's when I look at the groom. Cause his face says it all, you know?”
Having two photographers, means twice the joy caught on camera!
Works With Your Timeline!
Your wedding day is scheduled down to the minute - y’all are busy!
Having a second photographer can help you save time and alleviate stress by providing the additional coverage needed to get all of your desired shots in.
So when you need one side of the wedding party shot at the same time as the other, it’s covered! No idling here!
Hey Grandma!
We love posed photos, but candid photos are just as amazing to have in your wedding album. Like when you catch the pure joy on Grandma’s face as she’s watching the both of you. Or your wedding party busts out the moves. Or when your dad is telling you about that time when you were little.
It all happened, so let’s make sure there’s lots of inside stories to pass along!
