Examples Of My Work
Here are just some of the photos that were taken by me as a second photographer
My Equipment
For many photographers, it is important to know what equipment does their second shooter use. Here is my list.
Cameras
My main camera is the Canon R6 mirrorless camera purchased in July 2021. I love it for super fast and accurate AI focus. The second camera that I use is a Canon 5D Mark IV. Both are great and the picture quality is amazing! Each body has two card slots, which gives me a perfect backup should anything happen to one card.
Benefits of using two cameras:
Benefits of using two cameras:
- Speed. In a fast action situation (ceremony, first dance, documentary), I want to have both my wide-angle and telephoto lenses instantly available. I wear a double shoulder harness so both cameras are instantly at my fingertips.
- Redundancy. If one of the cameras fails, I will still be able to continue shooting.
Lenses
Knowing when to use the correct lens, is one of the keys that makes a photographer be a professional.

Benefits of having a second photographer
When I'm not booked for serving weddings alone, inviting me as a second photographer can be beneficial for you in a variety of situations
Groom prep
The bride and groom with their wedding party can be photographed at the same time as they get ready.
Alternate angles
During the wedding ceremony, any movement is often restricted, so a second photographer can provide another perspective that would not be possible when shooting alone.
Family & Friend reactions
A second photographer puts more attention to the emotional reactions of family and friends which may be in the opposite direction from the focus of attention of the main photographer.
Signature photos
No worries that any action will be missed while the main photographer is involved in setting up his signature shots.
Two different areas to be covered at once
So if the venue is very large, it’s pretty much a necessity to have two photographers on-site, especially if you are not too speedy on foot =)
Assistance in everything
The second shooter assists with difficult shots, holding lights, ladders and carrying extra gear when needed.
