How does a second shooter work/ what is a second shooter?

Great question! When you book anything 7 hours or more a second shooter is included in the collection. They are there for when the partners prep are at separate locations /addresses. They are great during the ceremony to make sure we capture both the brides reaction. In short, they are there to help ensure every detail is captured.

Can we add a second shooter closer to the date?

I would book a second shooter as soon as possible. With the increase of weddings in the next few years it will be harder to find second shooter who are available last minute.

Who is your second shooter?

I try to use the same second shooter but because weddings are in high demand it is hard to always have the same second shooter. I always make sure the second shooters I hire work well with me and are at the same level professionally as me. 

Am I able to substitute the second shooter for more hours?

Unfortunately no, the second shooter is there to capture additional things that I may not be able to capture, assist during family photos and get additional shots that I may not be able to.

What happens if you or your second shooter gets sick the day of the wedding?

The benefit of having a second shooter is if I become sick then they can fill it. There is a large community of photographers who are available if sickness occurs. I will find someone to cover if anything happens.
