3 Reasons why you need a second shooter for your wedding day

Having a second shooter makes a world of difference..

There is so many reasons why you need a second shooter..

– Telling me EVERY HOUR where I last left my bag, my car keys, my lens, my spare camera, my reflector, my flash, my extra battery….my glasses .. Seriously. On a wedding day, my thoughts are running a million miles per hour, and Jeff collects me as he runs alongside me.

– Holding my video light for the entirety of the first dance, and a few songs afterwards.

_ Gets the family members all positioned in just the right spots

_ Getting everyone to laugh and loosen up!!

– Shooting the reception details while I’m shooting family formals because we’re on a time crunch.

– Taking shots of the small, otherwise-unnoticed details of the day like kids running around and playing together, parents of the bride dancing, reactions from guests during toasts.

– Being a model when I’m setting up my camera settings!!! YES!! (he's the best model ever)

– Chatting with guests who just need a friend or a listening ear

– Being a friend, a confidant, my night time driver, someone to keep me awake on the long car rides back, someone to bounce ideas and dreams off of, someone to keep me excited on hour 8 of a long wedding day, someone who always answers with a smile and can give me a concrete yes or no when I’m being indecisive about something.

As the 2019 shooting season begins to wind down, I’ve started to reflect on all the sessions and weddings I had the amazing opportunity to capture. I’ve started to think about what worked and what didn’t work, and how I can make next year even better.

Our prices include a second shooter which is my adorable hubby and we love being able to spend the day together as we capture your special day!!
