Will you have a second shooter?

Lynnie, on March 6, 2018 at 14:05 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 21

Let's talk photography!! đź“·

Are you hiring one or two person photography team? Is your photographer bringing a second shooter?

If you will have a second shooter - was it just part of your package or was it a service you were specifically looking for?

    I really wanted 2 photographers so we ended up booking a couple. It was great because they shoot together all the time so now where to be and where each other are and how to avoid each other in the shots!

    My photographer brought another guy along to have more shots taken for less time in 2 different rooms and angles during family photos.

    We will have one photographer but he works with his wife to make the day go smoother.

    The photographer I hired has a second shooter and is included with the package! It will be nice for different angles as we are getting married in a church and to see photos of FH getting ready!

    This was my thinking too!


    We only looked at packages that included two shooters as I wanted to make sure as much as captured as possible.

    We were specifically looking for a second photographer, the photographer we hired said she doesn't usually include a second shooter but she has arranged for her friend to help her for us ! We wanted someone to be able to be with the bride and one with the groom while getting ready and during the ceremony. This way when we are off getting our photos we can still have a photographer doing the family photos and getting some candids of our cocktail hour.

    We were looking for only one photographer but our package comes with 2 photographers. Couldn't be happier with that.

    No, I wanted to book this person but her prices were a little high for me, so I got a 10% thanks to something on his Instagram, which prompted me to book the second shooter with her lol.

    That's cool! Was that a standard part of their package, or something you requested?

    We're just having one. She is so talented that I trust her with the whole day. Getting ready shots weren't super important to us. I've been to some weddings where they have a team of 3-5 people and it's just a lot. Like, you can't as a guest, even see the first dance because of the swarm of photogs and videographers. I'm not here for that.

    Both bridal parties are getting ready in two separate locations but still close enough for photographer to travel between locations very quickly.

    Yes we will have a second shooter for our ceremony, then he will just be the assistant for the remainder of the day. They are a husband and wife team!

    We just found out two weeks ago that our photographer will no longer be able to do our wedding (for very happy reasons) we had booked a second shooter through her so she gave me the contact info for her second shooter as she is a professional primary wedding photographer herself so she will be our primary and her boyfriend will be the second shooter. We feel so blessed as they are all so amazing at what they do!

    We’re having a second shooter. It was part of my must-haves. This way we get both the girls and guys getting ready, and the first look, and just different angles you wouldn’t get with just the one shooter 🙂

    We may have a second shooter (we aren't sure yet). Our photographer usually brings a student along to give them more practice.

    We had two photographers as they would be able to cover more ground and get the shots we wanted.

    We have a second shooter. I really wanted two and we found a couple who always do it together. For me the most important part was getting one person focused on me and one on my fiancé when we see each other for the first time. We aren’t doing a first look so the first time will be down the aisle and one photographer cannot capture both of us!
