Twice the Perspective, Twice the Magic: Why a Second Shooter Matters.

In this blog post, I will go over why you should consider having a second shooter for your wedding. First, we need to have a clear understanding of what a second shooter is. A second shooter is an additional photographer hired to assist the lead photographer on a wedding day. Their main role is to capture different angles and perspectives, ensuring that no important moments are missed.

Here are some reasons why you need a second shooter

1.Having a second shooter can provide extra angles and a different perspective. It also allows one shooter to capture the bride getting ready and the other to capture the groom getting ready. The second shooter will help the lead photographer by making their job easier through splitting the getting-ready tasks.

2. The other benefit of having a second shooter is that you can split the lead to one location to do the brides, and your second shooter will cover the groomsmen.

3. The other thing to consider if you need a second shooter is that they are a backup net if something goes wrong with your lead.

4.When you add a second shooter, you will have double the coverage. Ideally, both the lead and second shooter will have a double card slot. With the second shooter, there will be a backup of the photos if the lead photographer's camera crashes.

5.I usually try to find a second shooter who is female so that my brides feel more comfortable when getting ready.

6.Having a second shooter is helpful when the events do not have much of a gap between them, as a second shooter can come in and help split the task.

7.The second shooter can physically help me get shots that I would have difficulty getting on my own.

8.The second shooter would be able to see all the small details that your lead may miss or not notice.

9.Extra hand when the guests and bride and groom are giving speeches.

10.Having a second can help your lead if they need assistance with the lighting situation, and they can help the lead by being a test subject as your lead is getting the lighting right.
