Why having a second shooter is important part of your wedding day?

It’s a must! I honestly cannot encourage all wedding couples more to have a second shooter at their wedding. Today I’m going to tell you why I believe this is so important. 

You want your day captured from start to finish, giving you memories to look back on and cherish for a life time. Having a second shooter makes sure that not a moment is missed. Whilst your prime shooter is organizing people for your group shots, or taking the couple off. Your second shooter will be with all your other guests. 

Making sure they are capturing all those moments you may not be around to see, any surprises that have been planned. Couple and family shots. The day honestly goes so quickly and it’s amazing how much of it you don’t get to witness as you’ve off talking to other guests, having your family group shot photos or off with the wedding planner.

You also get the added bonus of having photographs of the groom getting ready, from all the little details of suits, shoes, gifts, the lads having a beer all of that will be photographed to whilst your prime photographer is with the bride.

You’ll get images from every angle, as two photographers can cover more areas. You’ll have close up shots as well as shots from the back of the ceremony room as we’ve mainly asked to stay in one place during your service. 

There are just so many reasons why I believe a second shooter is just as important as your main photographer and I truly believe every couple should book a second shooter.

If you have a wedding booked with us and haven’t yet considered a second shooter get in touch, lets discuss it and make it happen. Giving you even more beautiful images to treasure for a life time.

My first overseas wedding

I was so excited. It was my first overseas wedding and I couldn’t wait to get there and begin. What a wonderful opportunity to fly to Cyprus to capture the special day of Charlie and Daisy.

With their closest family and friends surrounding them, in this gorgeous location, with the sea in the background, the sun beaming down on everyone’s backs. It really was something else. 

Their intimate ceremony took place overlooking the sea, with the waves in the background, the cheeky sound of their gorgeous little boy Frankie and their loved ones watching. 

Charlie and Daisy opted for stylish blue trousers with matching waist coats. Daisy’s bridesmaids had long light-weight white dresses. They really did look amazing next to the bright blue skies and sand. With Daisy in a beautiful tight dress which ruffled from the waist down with a long train.

White rose flowers and simple table decorations. Followed by a intimate family meal and party after.

 For my first overseas wedding it did not disappoint and I cannot wait to do more. 

Richard and Ferns intimate wedding

This couple were just totally lovely you know when you just meet someone and they are so easy to get along with? Well that was Rich and Fern, we took a nice scroll around The Baulk woods in Langford for their pre wedding shoot to get to know one another and get them used to being in front of the camera. I have to say they were totally naturals and we got some beautiful shots of them both along with their youngest daughter.

They had a small wedding held at Shuttleworth House with just close family and friends. You could really see on the day that they were doing it for the love and not the show. It was so freshing to see and to have all their children around them on the day too.

With a small ceremony followed by a lovely relaxing afternoon in Shuttleworth grounds enjoying drinks and chatting with friends before sitting down for a meal with their loved ones.

Wedding Tips

Have your engagement ring cleaned before your wedding day.

Create a #hashtag for guests to use at the wedding to upload and tag all your pictures.

Take a few moments at your head table to simply observe your family and friends. It might just be your favourite part of the night.

Guests remember two things the most from weddings- the food and the music. Send them home with good memories.

It’s your wedding, not theirs. Be kind, but don’t try to please everyone.

The easiest way to pee in your wedding dress is to sit on the toilet backward, facing the wall.

Photography recommends: Don’t wear a bra the morning of your wedding. It will leave marks on your back and shoulders that will be visible in pictures.

On your RSVp cards, put a line for a requested song. This way you will know what your guests want to hear and they will get excited when their song comes on.

When getting your wedding dress altered, make sure you can sit in it before they make the dress smaller.

When planning for your honeymoon, don’t just make a list of things to pack but also a list of things to bring back.

Splurge on a new perfume - It is a great way to capture the days memories. Overtime you smell the fragrance, your mind will go to that special day.
