Should I Add A Second Photographer To My Package?

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event that you’ll want to remember forever. That’s why hiring a professional wedding photographer and videographer is so important. But have you ever considered hiring a second photographer for your wedding day?

Here are some reasons why hiring a second photographer is a great idea:

  1. More coverage from different angles: A second photographer can capture the wedding from a different perspective, giving you even more photos to choose from. While one photographer is taking portraits, the second can be capturing candid moments, or capturing the same scene from a different angle. This ensures that every aspect of your wedding day is captured from multiple viewpoints, providing you with a more complete set of memories.

  2. Saves time during the day: With two photographers, you can split them up to capture different moments throughout the day, and maximize the time you have for taking photos. One photographer can be with the bride while she's getting ready, while the other can be with the groom and his groomsmen. This allows you to get photos of both sides of the wedding party without having to rush back and forth between locations. Additionally, while the bride is walking down the aisle, one photographer can focus on the bride while she’s interacting with father (or whoever special person is walking her down the aisle), while the other photographer can be focusing on the groom and his reaction to his stunning bride walking towards him.

  3. More photos of your guests: With two photographers, you can be sure that every guest is captured in at least one photo. This is especially important for large weddings, where it's difficult for a single photographer to capture everyone. With two photographers, you can have more candid shots of your guests enjoying themselves, which will add to the overall story of your wedding day.

  4. Detail shots: With a second photographer, you can have the lead photographer take care of the formal portraits while the other captures all of the reception details like the table settings, centerpieces, and decor. This ensures that you have a complete set of photos that capture every aspect of your wedding day.

  5. More coverage of the Ceremony: With two photographers, one can focus on capturing the couple's emotions and facial expressions during the ceremony, while the other can focus on capturing the audience and their reactions. This ensures that every special moment is captured.

  6. More photos: With two photographers, you will receive roughly 25% more photos than you would if you only had one photographer. This in turn would give you more options when selecting the best images to include in your wedding album or to hang on your walls.
