Finding the perfect wedding photographer can be a daunting task, with so many different styles and packages to choose from.
One thing that every couple should consider when booking their wedding photographer is whether or not to include a second photographer in their package. Some packages include a second photographer, while for others it may be something you need to add on for an additional fee. I know what you are thinking though...
Is it really worth it though?
Having two photographers at your wedding may seem like an unnecessary expense, but the benefits far outweigh the cost. Two photographers means double the coverage, meaning you'll get more photos and more angles of key moments throughout the day.
One of the biggest advantages of having a second photographer is the ability to capture multiple perspectives of important moments, such as the first look, first kiss, and the exchange of vows. While one photographer is focused on getting the perfect shot of the couple, the other can capture the reactions of family and friends, giving you a more complete view of the day.
Another benefit of having a second photographer is the ability to capture getting ready photos of both parties. While one photographer is with the bride, the other can be with the groom, ensuring that both sides of the story are told. This is especially important for couples who want to remember the excitement and anticipation of getting ready for the big day.
Having a second photographer also allows for coverage of other important moments, such as the cocktail hour and candid shots throughout the day. With two photographers, you can rest assured that every special moment will be captured and preserved for years to come.
But of course, having a second photographer may not be necessary for every wedding..
For smaller, more intimate affairs with fewer than 40 guests, one photographer may be sufficient. However, for larger weddings with more guests or multiple locations, having a second photographer is highly recommended.
Some may be thinking, if they want a second photographer, they should hire someone themselves, right? WRONG!
If you are interested in adding a second photographer to your already booked wedding package, simply reach out to your photographer. Most photographers have trusted second shooters they use to help them capture the day in their style and taste. Trust them to bring along the right person to make your wedding day photos feel complete!
