A second shooter for your big day
Why Two Photographers Might be Better Than One on your wedding day
Your venue's decked out, the champagne's flowing, and your nearest and dearest are all set to celebrate with you. With all this action, you might need more than one pair of eyes to catch it all, right? That's where having a second shooter comes into play. Let me break it down for you.
Double the Fun, Double the Memories
So, here's the deal: if you're expecting a big crowd – say, 70 or more of your favourite people – having a second shooter can be a game-changer. And if you're pushing past the 100 guest mark, it's practically a no-brainer! With two of us on the job, we tag-team to make sure every moment is captured, from the tear-jerking "I dos" to the belly laughs during speeches as well as a lot of the bits you might miss.
Catch Those Candid Moments
Now, let's talk about all those friends and family travelling from far and wide to celebrate with you. It's not every day you get your favourite people all in one place, right? That's why having a second shooter is a huge benefit. While I'm busy making sure your portraits are on point, my sidekick is out there, snapping those candid moments – like your grandma's heartwarming hugs or your best friend's impromptu dance moves.
Capturing all the prep
While I'm hanging out with one of you my second shooter can be with the other, capturing all those pre-wedding nerves, excitement, and fun moments. From sorting flowers to sharing a last-minute pep talk or popping some champagne, having both sides of the story adds an extra layer of intimacy and connection to your final wedding gallery. This is especially handy if you’re getting ready in separate locations!
Covering All Angles
Here's the thing – I'm quite good at running around, but I'm not a magician. I can't be everywhere at once. (Trust me, I've tried!) That's where my second shooter comes in. While I'm hanging out with you, making sure your hair's just right and your smile's on point, they're off capturing those behind-the-scenes moments that make your day uniquely yours. It's all about adding that extra layer of depth and variety to your final gallery.
No Stress, Just Yes
And here's the best part: I handle all the details when it comes to arranging a second shooter. From finding a trusted colleague (who has a similar shooting style and vibe to myself!) with availability to sorting out schedules and admin, I've got it covered. All my second shooters are paid a fair rate of pay for their work and I also request that they’re fed a supplier meal because humans don’t do their best work when hungry. So you can kick back, relax, and focus on what really matters – enjoying every single moment of your special day!
So, there you have it - Two photographers, one unforgettable wedding day. Ready to make some magic happen? If you’d like to add a second shooter to your package, drop me a message and I’ll make it happen!
