Hello there friend!! I am so happy you’re interested in considering me for your second shooter position! Below you’ll find links to full wedding galleries (a mix of my clients and weddings shot as second) as well as my info!
I have been a wedding photographer for 10+ years and have second shot dozens of weddings. I am very well versed as both lead and second as well as second shooter etiquette. I understand what’s required on a wedding day (from the perspective of both lead and second) and it is my ultimate goal to yield beautiful imagery and make the lead’s job easier.
I am a great team player and take direction well, but I’m competent on my own. I am comfortable photographing any and all moments of the day from getting ready through to reception! And I especially LOVE details and candid, raw shots throughout the day!! My shooting style leans towards documentary/photojournalistic.
I am technically skilled and am capable of shooting in any light and with the use of flash.
