Second Photographer -
More and more, a second photographer is a popular amenity in the wedding industry, however, it is not always needed.  85% of the weddings I shoot are solo, so if you like the majority of the images on my website, it is likely I was there without an assistant.  That said, adding a second photographer offers the opportunity to capture a different perspective or angle of the most important moments of you day (ceremony, special reception activities, preparation & details).  Adding a second photographer does not mean you will receive twice as many photos, but rather a second or third angle for the most important moments of your wedding day.  Before deciding on a second photographer, I would want to have a detailed conversation about the logistics of your wedding day.
$500/day

About my photography...
The aim of my photography is to tell a story, or more specifically, your photographic love story.  I want you to feel the emotions anew when you look at your images.  I want you to be reminded of how much you love your spouse when you hold your photos or browse them on your phone.  It is my hope that your true self, the self that only you really know, shows through in the photos.  I want you to be comfortable during the session, so you can concentrate on each other and forget I’m there.  My clients are laid-back, fun-loving people who trust me to capture them in real moments as they occur.

On your wedding day there are two factors that drive everything I do - creating a stress-free environment and great lighting.  I take them both seriously and diligently work to protect them during your day.  With proper planning, everything will align and you can rest in my skills and enjoy the irreplaceable gathering of friends and family.  I am interested in capturing the small details of your day, the story that shows your love, and the images that capture who you really are.  

After years of photographing weddings, I am convinced the most important images of the day are the bride & groom portraits at sunset.  I can capture these images in as little as 15 minutes, giving you a small respite from the day, while not keeping you away from the party all night.  This refreshing time will allow you both to soak in the feelings of the day.  

Timeline & planning...
I find it best to start with the sunset time on your wedding day and build the timeline from there.  You can see what that looks like below in the example timeline.  I typically arrive and start coverage about 30 minutes before hair and makeup are completed.  After that is generally a first look, which takes around 15 minutes.  We can then do bridal party portraits and immediate family before the ceremony, which gets you to the reception earlier to enjoy time with your friends and family.  I like to finish pre-ceremony photographs about an hour before the ceremony, which gives us some cushion in the timeline for the inevitable delays.  It also allows the bride & groom to be out of sight as guests arrive.  After the ceremony we will complete family portraits as necessary and get your guests to cocktail hour.  I will grab you during the evening as sunset approaches for your portrait session.  I don’t usually recommend more than an hour of reception dance coverage, unless you have a special exit that you want documented (although there are alternatives there too we can discuss).
