Are Two Photographers Needed?

Are two photographers really needed for my wedding? Is it worth it? These are two common questions I receive from engaged couples looking to book wedding photography. The age old question of whether or not to add a second photographer to your package is important. The following list are some things to consider when trying to decide.







Yeah, but on the other hand…

I have also photographed over 150 weddings solo, without any help at all. On average I shoot around 80 to 100 “keeper” photos per hour and work super efficient the day of the wedding. So if you decide NOT to include a second photographer in your package, you may not even know the difference when it’s all said and done. As of this writing I have been shooting weddings for 15 years and with the experience I’ve gained and the style I’ve adapted over the years, I feel 1000% confident that no matter what you decide, your wedding photos will be gorgeous!

In Summary…

  • If you want to save some coin and still have amazing wedding photos, a second photographer is not needed.

  • If you want photos from a different perspective and more variety than a second photographer is worth it

  • If there are timing and/or logistical concerns, by all means lets get that second person on board!
