Are you going with 1 or 2 photographers?

I'm sure 2 photographers would be better but just curious since some places charge $500 or more just for a second photographer! Does anyone think 2 photographers are necessary or would 1 be just fine? Hoping to find more vendors next month and get that out of the way! I know theres time but one less...

    We hired a photographer after having our epics done by them. But after signing the contract it became evident during more convos that we will have a 2nd shooter at the wedding beside herself...bonus!

    I was wondering the same question especially as the cost of the second shooter in my case was $900. Ask your photographer if he recommends it based on the layout and size of your venue and number of guests. I will be having 150 guests, and my photographer recommended a second shooter even though the venue is mostly inside in a historical mansion.

    We got 2 photographers because it was really important of me to get a photo of my FH's face as I walked down the aisle! It also allows for more coverage of the wedding, a mix of candid and posed photos, different angles, etc. Photography is so important to me, so I made room in our budget for the 2nd photographer!

    One photographer that brings a second. You absolutely want 2 shooters, especially in the morning. If you really want pictures of the getting ready process, you'll want them both since you and your FH will be getting ready in separate locations.

    Thanks everyone! I'm sure we will mostly likely go with two so hopefully it won't take too long to find the right photographers for our wedding!

    Our package came with 2. I think it will help with our "getting ready" photos so one can be with me and one can be with FH. Also I'm not doing a first look so maybe we can get more pictures done at cocktail hour.
