Why we include having a Second Shooter for Your Wedding Photography... and why we know it's the best option for your day.

When looking for your wedding photographer, one of the best investments you can make is hiring a photographer WITH a second shooter. While having one main photographer is essential, an additional shooter brings incredible benefits that not only ensures no moment is missed, but also means the lead photographer can focus on the "must have" moments and the second can capture additional angles or other moments that you may not have thought of needing capture because they are candid and IN THE MOMENT!
1. More Coverage, More Moments
As a Triple Threat Artist, I can only be one place at one time, so while I focus on the bride’s makeup and hair prep and capturing those special moments my second shooter, Simon, can capture:
The groom’s getting ready process and unique moments with his wedding party and family members in that space.
Candid guest interactions and ceremony decor while I focus on key portraits.
2. Simultaneous Coverage of Key Events
One photographer can only be in one place at a time! Once the makeup and hair services are completed by Candice she moves into photographer mode. But even then, a second shooter allows for:
Multiple angles of the ceremony or if you're planning a private first look together—capturing both your reactions and your guests' emotions.
Reception moments, while the primary shooter takes couple portraits or captures family formals.
3. Extra Photography Time with Your Fiancé
If you and your fiancé are getting ready separately, having a second shooter ensures both of your experiences are documented.
Extended time means you don’t have to rush—your moments are captured in full.
4. More Artistic & Candid Shots
A second shooter allows for creative angles, behind-the-scenes moments, and detail shots.
Your final wedding album will feel more comprehensive and immersive, yet with Candice being the editor they will have the same editing style for your final gallery.
5. Peace of Mind & Efficiency
With a second photographer present, everything flows more smoothly.
No missed moments, no stress about capturing every key shot—just a stress-free, beautifully documented wedding day.
