Do you need a second photographer
We include a second photographer in every wedding, so here is the honest version of what it adds and when it matters most.
Before you read on
Know exactly what your day costs
Every price is published, no form required. See the full pricing, then tell us your date and venue.
Two angles on moments that happen once
A wedding is full of moments that occur exactly once and cannot be repeated. When the bride walks the aisle, one photographer holds on her face while the second catches the groom's reaction. You get both sides of the moment, not one and a guess at the other.
The same is true for the first dance, the toasts, and the exit. Two angles mean the wide emotion and the close detail at the same instant.
Coverage when the day splits in two
Mornings often run in two places at once, two getting ready suites, two families, two sets of nerves. A second photographer means neither side goes uncovered while the other is being photographed.
Later, one of us can be setting up the reception room while the other stays with you, so you get both the styled details and the candid moments without choosing between them.
When it matters most
A second photographer earns its place at larger weddings, at venues with a lot of ground to cover, when you have a big wedding party or family, and any time getting ready happens in two locations. The bigger and busier the day, the more it adds.
Even at a smaller wedding, the second angle on the ceremony and the first dance is hard to give up once you have seen it.
Why we just include it
We think full coverage should be the standard, not a line item you negotiate. So every wedding collection comes with two photographers. You never have to decide whether the most important moments are worth a second angle. They are, so they get one.
