Do You Really Need a Second Photographer? Here’s the Honest Truth. - Lethbridge Wedding Photographer

From Clearly Lovely Photography, a Lethbridge Wedding Photographer serving all around the world.

When planning your wedding photography, one of the most common questions I hear is:

"Do we really need a second photographer?"

And here’s the good news—if you book a wedding package with me for 4 or more hours, you already have one!

A second photographer isn’t just an extra set of hands; they’re a game-changer when it comes to capturing your day from every possible angle. Let’s break down why having a second shooter is a major win for your wedding photos.

What Does a Second Photographer Actually Do

Having two photographers means your wedding story gets captured in even more depth and detail. While I’m focused on the big moments, my second shooter is catching all the in-between magic, like:

- Other Half of the Wedding Party Getting Ready – While I’m photographing one half of the bridal party, my second shooter is with the other half, capturing all the laughs, details, and behind-the-scenes moments.

- Multiple Angles of Key Moments – Imagine your first kiss being captured from both the front and behind, showing your guests’ reactions and the full emotion of the moment.

- Candid Guest Reactions – While I’m taking family portraits or couple photos, my second shooter is snapping all those sweet, unscripted interactions among your guests.

- More Coverage, Less Stress – Two photographers mean we can be in two places at once, keeping your day flowing smoothly and making sure nothing is missed.

The Best Part, It’s Already Included.

I believe in giving my couples the best experience possible, which is why every wedding package of 4 or more hours already comes with a second photographer—no extra fee, no hidden costs.

You don’t have to stress about whether it’s worth adding on—it’s already built into your package because I know just how valuable it is.

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I want to make sure it’s captured in the most complete, beautiful way possible.

Having a second photographer means you get more angles, more moments, and more memories—without having to worry about a thing.
