The Benefits of Hiring Two Wedding Photographers at your wedding

Should I Hire Two Wedding Photographers For My Wedding?

Hiring a Second Photographer

Ok, this may seem obvious, but just in case…

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and capturing as much of that day is essential. It’ll probably be the only day in your life that you’ll have all the people you care about around you, and the photographer’s job is to capture those memories for you. While hiring a single wedding photographer is common, the benefits of having two wedding photographers can significantly enhance your wedding story. With two photographers at your wedding, you get double the coverage and a more diverse range of candid moments and angles that a single photographer can miss. Take a look below at the many advantages of having two photographers on your special day!

Simon and Karla – Husband & Wife Wedding Photographer Team

Yes, that’s right. Karla and I are a husband-and-wife team of two photographers. We’ve been capturing beautiful wedding stories since 2008, and we recognised the potential of having both of us cover a wedding so early in our careers.

With two stories going on in the morning and so much happening on the wedding day, we wanted to capture more of what went on in the story. So, it made sense to work together while offering one photographer option, too. Choosing a photographer (or two) is a tough decision, so we thought we’d write this little piece to explain the advantages of having two photographers and help you decide. We still offer one photographer option, too, but it’s definitely worth considering two.

You can only capture both reactions with a second shooter primed and ready.

3. Benefits Of Two Photographers: More Candid Moments From Your Wedding Day

4. More Moments You Didn't Know Happened

5. Second Photographer And Varying Wedding Photography Style

I love this because although we are two photographers, we are different people. Karla is more emotional, and I am more technical (not a robot, I promise). Having that second perspective often makes a difference. We notice Karla is approached a lot more for couple and family photos during the day, so guests, both old and young, act differently around us, meaning we can capture different candid shots.

The Benefits of Hiring Two Wedding Photographers

6. Wedding Day Logistics -
One Can Capture The Guests, Whilst The Other Captures Group Photos

Naturally, we split responsibilities many times throughout your day. Ideally, one of us is constantly in touch with the guests, capturing anything that happens with them, whilst the other is away on another responsibility. We still need to capture group photos, your painstakingly thought-out details of your room decor, and sometimes we need time to set up lighting, etc. This is one of the minor benefits of having a second photographer; that one of us is always available and on hand, ready to capture.

A packed dance floor straight after your first dance is tantalising. So, so much to capture at breakneck speed. With two of us capturing away we get the parents sharing a moment and the bridesmaids tears all at the same time. When things have quietened a little one of us can capture people at the tables and bar, whilst the other stays on the dance floor.

Couple Portraits

Couple portraits aren’t awkward; in fact, they’re probably the most peaceful, ‘present’ part of your day. We’ll both be there, Karla helping with the dress, and both of us capturing some epic shots from different angles.

9. Investing In Two Photographers

While having a second photographer is a little more expensive (phone call to parents!), there is a lot of value in this decision. It’s not a lot more than hiring a single photographer. Karla and I have worked on hundreds of weddings together, and most couples, probably about 80%, book us as a pair. You can take a look at our one—and two-photographer packages here.

10. More Photos = More Story

It goes without saying that having an additional photographer at your wedding will equate to more moments, more images, and, ultimately, more of your wedding story being captured. Typically, at least 700+ pictures are delivered.
