SECOND SHOOTER GUIDE

CALM.
CONFIDENT.
LAID-BACK.

Clients book with me because of my level of experience, attention to detail, and laid-back yet structured wedding day approach. It is paramount that my clients feel taken care of throughout the wedding day and that we, as a team, can be trusted. No matter what curve balls are thrown our way, keeping our composure and making informed, confident decisions is so important. Even if we're freaking out inside, we must ALWAYS make the clients feel that they are in the best hands.

As my second shooter, I am counting on you to be the representative of my brand when I am not there. This includes being kind, making confident decisions as needed, being prepared, and always thinking ahead to anticipate the needs of the clients - as well as me, when we are together.

I trust your abilities as a seasoned wedding professional and know that you will always support both me and my clients on the wedding day.

My WEDDING DAY APPROACH

Thank you so much for second shooting with me. I couldn't do this without strong second shooters by my side and I really appreciate your time and talent. Looking forward to working together!

SECOND SHOOTING TIPS + PREFERENCES

OH. MY. GOD. I'm speechless. You knocked it out of the park.

and it was just incredible to look though these pictures and actually get to relive the night. I have chills. I could not have imagined working with anyone else!

I felt like I spent the whole night being passed around from guest to guest, barely experiencing anything,

WIDE + TIGHT SHOTS

Throughout the day, please be sure to get a variety of both wide, atmospheric shots as well as tight, editorial shots. As storytellers, we want to showcase everything from macro to micro.

LOOK FOR MOMENTS

Once you have gotten the must-have shots, take a step back, give them space, and look for those in-between moments. Those imperfect, personal, documentary moments are just so so good.

STAY CLOSE AND HELP ME USE TRANSITIONS

Transitions are a great time for me to grab candids. If you're able to free my hands and stay close to me so I can shoot when we move from one place to another, that would be great!

BEHIND THE SCENES

While it isn't a huge deal, I would LOVE for you to take some behind the scenes photos of me working with my couples on the wedding day!

COCKTAIL HOUR COVERAGE + DETAILS

Aside from group photos and candids, a styled vignette featuring any specialty cocktails, bar signage, custom napkins, etc. is ALWAYS appreciated. Often times, I don't have time to do this myself.
