Do I Need a Second Photographer for My Wedding?

So, should you pay for a second shooter at your wedding? Having a second photographer is becoming more and more popular among bridal couples nowadays and also seen a lot in photographer pricing packages. Whether you should decide to have a second photographer depends on a number of things.
The benefits of having a second shooter are extremely useful for…

Getting Ready Photos

With the bride and bridesmaids all getting ready together, these can make for some fun and lovely photos, shots of the bridesmaids helping the bride put the dress on, drinking wine together with the emotion and excitement of the day captured through photos.

But what about the groom? If they are getting ready somewhere else, then this is where a second shooter is useful, you have your main Colorado Indian Wedding Photographer capturing the bride getting ready, while the second shooter is with the groom, best man and the rest of the guys.

Guest Shots

If you have a very large number of guests at your wedding you may benefit from a second shooter that allows you to capture more of your guests and the emotion of the day. This is not to say that a single Denver Indian Wedding Videographer cannot do this nicely, but a second shooter allows your main photographer to focus on the bride and groom during the ceremony, allowing the second shooter to focus on the guests only. The more guests you have, the trickier it is to capture those fun moments, emotions and joy on your guests faces while also doing formal shots, for example.

The Venue

Be it for the ceremony or the reception, larger venues that offer a few different vantage points allow for a range of different shot. Requesting for a second shooter from your Colorado Indian Wedding Photographer allows you to take advantage of this by being able to capture the same moment from different angles. This could be shots of the bride and groom walking down the aisle with shots from a photographer on the ground level and a second shooter capturing the moment from a balcony above, for instance.

Overall, it comes down to whether you need an additional Denver Indian Wedding Videographer and photographer, and whether you have the budget for it.
