Another reason people have two photographers is that they really love informal documentary style photographs. There are times in a wedding day where formal photographs are being taken and without a second photographer, there will be some beautiful spontaneous moments missed. Whereas, if you have two photographers, whilst one photographer is taking your formal family photographs the other can continue taking those reportage shots that can be so special when looking back at your wedding photos.
The photographer’s perspective of the day is such a beautiful thing, seeing your wedding from a different point of view can be fun and refreshing. Having two photographers gives you two perspectives, they may notice different moments happening and capture aspects in different ways.
Having two photographers/two cameras capturing two perspectives more than doubles your return when it comes to moments captured. But if you can’t stretch to the cost of two photographers – my advice is to engage and book with a photographer who can balance both those posed photos with those natural moments that really capture the essence of your personalities, your story, your wedding.
