If at all possible we highly recommend booking a second photographer. (The second photographer option is included at no extra charge with The Ultimate Package.) There are many benefits to having two photographers. Take a moment to read through this and you'll see why most bride's choose to add this to their package.

During the formals and bride and groom portraits is one time when it's great to have a second photographer. As the primary photographer I am dealing directly with the couple/group. Often times the very moment I lower my lens people start interacting. A little hug or kiss between the couple, maybe a joke that makes the group laugh. Then the second I raise my lens back up to try and capture this special moment everyone goes back into, “Ok time to take pictures” mode. It’s wonderful to have a second photographer there to capture those moments! My second photographer is always ready during these types of shoots. She always makes sure to grab close ups and details like a hand on the small of the back etc. while I’m getting the portrait shot. During the ceremony is another time it’s very helpful to have two photographers. One of the photographers can stay put near the back of the isle and capture straight on shots while the second photographer can move around capturing close up shots of the bride and grooms faces from better angles. One photographer can get a full body shot of the ring exchange while the other zooms in on the hands.

During the kiss one photographer can get the full body or ¾ length shot while the other gets a close up. And pre-ceremony the photographer’s can split up, one with the bride, one with the groom so as not to miss a single moment!

Another benefit to having two photographers...think back up! What if at a crucial moment someone steps in front of the camera and blocks your photographer’s view or perhaps bumps into them causing the shot to be blurred? That moment would be lost forever…unless you had another photographer shooting the same thing from another angle. During the reception this is especially helpful with such a big crowd to work with.

The second photographer's we work with have been specifically chosen because their styles blend seamlessly into Amy's. So if you like Amy's style, a second photographer is a great, inexpensive way to double the amount of photos you’re getting for the same amount of time!
