2nd Shooters for Photography and Videography?

Allison, on March 23, 2018 at 5:07 PM Posted in Planning 0 7

I've already hired my photographer and she is bringing her assistant. I'm in the process of picking a videography package. I'm choosing between one that comes with 2 cinematographers and a less expense package with just 1.

Has anyone had 2 photographers and 2 cinematographers? Was is too many people? Do you feel you got a higher quality product?

    We're paying an additional fee for a second shooter with our photographer. It's worth it to us.

    As for videographer, i'm not sure, we haven't hired one yet.

    I’m having 2 photographers and videographers solely because it was a better package that FH and I wanted for our day. Sometimes I think it’s too much BUT we’re so excited knowing we’ll have our day remembered in so many different angles!

    We had two of each. It didn't feel like too many people because they were able to split up and capture different moments for us without missing anything.

    I think it depends on how big your guest list is. I went to a wedding that had 2 photographers and 2 videographers but there were also 150 guests so it didn't seem like too many people. My wedding has 60 guests so I think if I had that many people for photography and videography it would seem like too many.

    I'm having two for both. It's the best choice, you are more likely to get all the best moments captured.

    I will have 2 of both but I’ll also have just under 180 guests, so I think they’ll be able to spread out well to capture from more angles.

    I had two photographers and 3 videographers last weekend... I didn’t think it was too much and I had a medium size wedding (115 people) in a smaller venue.

    Have your photographer and videographer ever worked together before? It’s a small word of wedding vendors. They may be comfortable with each other.
