Photographers. One or Two Shooters?!

Our package was 1 photographer for 8 hours. I believe it was more than enough our small 87 guest wedding. If its in your budget for 2 go for it. Keep in mind that you can always ask someone to take extra, different angle photos. So glad I did. My bestie took pics of us getting ready, videod our speeches and my fam took several different angle shots for the ceremony. I made sure my bro took photos of my husband as we entered, cause all eyes were on me including the photographer.

It definitely depends on the size of your wedding, and how specific your shot list is. If it is on the larger side for either I would define you suggest getting the second photographer. For my upcoming wedding I want it to be more intimate and personal opposed to my last where it was over 200 people attending. So I’m only planning on hiring one photographer this time around.
It definitely was worth it t the time because I got some amazing pictures that I wouldn’t have gotten!

That's a great price for the add-on. We had a second shooter for our entire day (12 hours) but it did come with our package which I'm so happy that it did!

We are having a second join for 3 hours. He will do all the groomsmen and boys shots while she does the girls. I also wanted shots of both so us when I walk down the aisle. This came as an add-on to our package for $300.

I know exactly what you mean!

View quoted message Right?! It was so nice having 2 cause when one did pictures with the groomsmen the other did some with the bridesmaids!

Oh absolutely! It really did work out! It's photos we'll have for a lifetime.

You're so welcome! There's honestly no right or wrong way to have your wedding!

I always loved the idea of 2 photographers but it was not in our budget. About a month before our wedding our photographer reached out to see if she could bring a 2nd shooter (free of charge) who is was looking at gaining experience!

View quoted message That’s amazing, and really did work out perfectly!

Thank you! My problem is not knowing what’s right or wrong 😄 Doesn’t help that neither of us are very opinionated about the finer details, so I love hearing from the experts.

Everyone is different and that's ok! My husband and I had two. It came with our package and it was great to have because we both got ready at different places and really wanted getting ready photos. We also got a lot of different shots and angels of our day. But remember do what you and your future husband want to do and not what everyone else is doing!

We’re having one, which has made me a little nervous so I keep second guessing it, but reading others’ responses makes me feel better about our decision.

It sounds like it worked out!

It's always nice to have your guests photos as well!

I'm having a small wedding so just the one for us plus whatever the guests come up with.

We had 1 photographer and felt it was appropriate for our set up and day. We had 25 guests, a smaller venue and it was an evening celebration from 5pm-11pm so very doable with just 1.
