Double the Cameras, Double the Memories: Why Hire a Second Photographer?

It might seem like an optional upgrade when you’re budgeting, but a second photographer is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your wedding photos.

Here’s why couples are so glad they did.

More Angles, More Moments

With two photographers, you’ll get the same moment captured from multiple perspectives — your reaction and your guests’ reactions, close-ups & wide shots, and those little in-between moments that might otherwise go unseen.

Coverage in Two Places at Once

A second shooter allows me to be with the bride while my second is with the groom, or to capture cocktail hour while we’re finishing family portraits. You don’t have to worry about missing anything.

Faster & Smoother Group Photos

When we have a second pair of hands, we can move through family and wedding party photos faster. One of us can arrange the next group while the other is shooting.

More Candid Photos

While I focus on the must-have moments, my second can quietly capture the little candid interactions—guests laughing, kids playing, sweet background details—that help tell the full story of your day.

If it’s in your budget, a second photographer is an incredible way to get more variety, more memories, and more peace of mind on your wedding day.
