Working with second shooters, properly
4 min read
Briefs, contracts and coverage plans so two shooters deliver one coherent wedding.
Brief like a director
Who covers which moments, from where, on what focal lengths. Two people shooting the same angle is one photographer wasted.
Paper first
A contract covering payment, image rights and non-solicitation protects both sides. Handshake arrangements end friendships.
One look
Agree exposure approach and picture profiles before the day, or the edit doubles.
Pay properly
Good seconds are how you take two bookings on one date. Rate them well and they answer in December.
