The simple answer is yes, you should!
This trend of hiring two photographers to cover a single event – in this case, a wedding – only became common a few years ago. But it’s not exactly a new concept. In this situation, you’re simply replacing your friend or sibling with another professional photographer so you can get double the number of photographs of one of the most important days of your life.
However, before we dive into the why of hiring two photographers, let’s have a look at the whom.
Note on Hiring a Second Photographer
As with the case of hiring your first photographer, you’ll need to hire someone who’s as good as your first choice. Compare costs and make sure that your second photographer is genuinely experienced and talented. Do not hire an amateur or someone who has rarely covered weddings before.
Why You Should Have Not One Photographer but Two Photographers
™ Two Locations
The bride and groom are getting ready for their big day. While the first photographer takes pictures of the bride, the second photographer will be able to give the groom their full attention. Weddings are time-sensitive. You can’t expect the groom to wait, just because the photographer needs to finish taking pictures of the bride.
™ Two Perspectives
The bride comes down the aisle. The camera turns towards the groom to capture his reaction, but what about the bride? She’s heading down towards the man she loves, feeling all eyes on her and taking in her surroundings while trying to maintain her flawless look. These are some select moments that need to be captured as well. While one photographer focuses on the groom, the other can focus on the bride so there are no lost moments.
™ Two Photography Styles
With two photographers, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with different styles and moods. For example, if you hire Winter Lotus Photography for your wedding, your wedding photos will display a combination of fine art portraiture and photojournalism. Ping’s photography leans more towards natural and soft images. Kenny prefers to give his pictures a more dramatic and creative edge.
