WHY HAVING 2 PHOTOGRAPHERS IS AMAZING.

 GETTING READY

The advantages of having 2 photographers while getting ready is one shooter at each house.

Most of the time couples are getting ready in different locations this means we can both be shooting at the same time.

 FIRST LOOK

If you do decide to have a first look with your partner we will assign the perfect spot to capture this from both angles. I love first looks, it takes SO much pressure off.

 CEREMONY

For the ceremony its so good having 2 photographer for different angles, different points of view and for minimal disruption. For example, if there’s only 1 shooter that person is constantly moving to try and get different angles. Having 2 shooters eliminates this.

FAMILY AND GUESTS

During this time one shooter is usually photographing the family while the other is photographing your guests. They can be group shots, mingling, candids and so on. This is a great use of time and also making sure everyone is photographed at your wedding.

LOCATION SHOOT TIME

Depending on the weather and the wedding but this can be both of us shooting location photos, or one shooter takes the bridal party the other shoots the guests, canapes, etc. For this wedding we both shot the location part.

RECEPTION TIME

During reception we both shoot whatever is going on. Speeches at different angles, dancing at different angles and so on. For night shots its so helpful to have someone who knows where to hold the light.
