Here are a few reasons to hire two photographers for your wedding
If you…
- …have a larger wedding (over 100 guests)
- …are getting married at a large venue
- …want coverage of both partners getting ready before the wedding
- …are planning a big exit with sparklers, bubbles, paper airplanes, etc.
- …will be taking your couple photographs away from the main location
- …are having a First Look and want reactions from both people
- …want the reactions from the guests during the ceremony
- …want “table shots” (photos with the couple at each table) or “grin and grabs” (someone to take event style photos of your guests throughout the reception)
- …are having your wedding at multiple locations
- …have a tight timeline with many events
- …want lots of moments. I will get many, but I am focused on the main event all day long, so those little side moments are the specialty of the 2nd photographer
- …have tons of details about your wedding you would like photographed
Here is a great example of the same moment in 2022 by myself and my 2nd photographer…
While I was photographing this first photo, my second photographer was photographing the mother of the bride and her mother crying before the bride came down the aisle
