2Nd photographer

Mel, on March 5, 2021 at 9:54 PM Posted in Planning 0 14
I’ve been talking to a photographer who offers a package of $1500 and 1900. The $1900 includes a second photographer. Are second photographers worth the extra cost? The $1900 also includes an engagement shoot. Worth the extra $400?

    Absolutely. There are certain moments that you’re going to want to see from multiple angles, like you walking down the aisle. It will also cut down significant on the time it takes for family and wedding party photos.

    I think $400 is super cheap to basically double your service!

    For only $400 more it’s definitely worth it.

    Definitely worth it. You can get bride and groom getting ready pictures at the same time and different angles during the ceremony from the front and the back of the room. An engagement shoot and second shooter for only $400 more is a deal

    Yes! Yes! Yes!


    The second photographer will catch moments that the first may miss. The price is also great.

    Yes, definitely worth it for engagement photos and second photographer.

    The average engagement photos package is about $300-$400 alone.

    A definite yes! I loved seeing moments shot during two different angles, especially if I felt one of them was less flattering!

    I personally would pay the extra cost, this way you can have them tackle multiple photos at once (getting grooms and groomsmen photos in one place and one getting pictures of you and your bridesmaids getting ready somewhere else)

    I agree with everyone else! $400 dollars is definitely worth the extra coverage a second shooter can provide and the engagement shoot as well! Engagement shoots usually range around $400 dollars alone where I'm at so I'd say you're definitely getting a steal and you should pounce on that!!!
