WHY YOU MAY WANT TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS
Love & Lens offers both single photographer service (PINE, ASPEN) and dual photographer service (SPRUCE, CEDAR) service. Should you hire a second photographer? To help you decide if the additional cocverage is worth it for you, we’ve outlined how 2 photographers can enhance your wedding gallery.
A single photographer is constantly deciding where to stand and what to capture. A second photographer can edge this, and potentially tell a deeper emotional story. Here we offer examples:
PRE-CEREMONY
Most couples (and their attendants — bridesmaids, groomsmen) get ready in separate spaces and a single photographer has to juggle what’s the most important images at the moment. The hour before ceremony is packed with activity — arrival at site, dressing, pre-ceremony group and individual photos with each of your attendants and close family members, as well as casual moments of anticipation. You each will be getting ready in separate spaces. Only you know how important it is to you for us to record these moments.
A groom ties his shoe while a bride is helped into her dress at the same time on different floors of the venue. Only two photographers can be in two places at once.
These images were captured at nearly the same time by the couple’s two photographers. One photographer will capture both sides of the bridal party, but if things run late, the photographer will be rushed and the creativity in lining up the groups may show it.
CEREMONY
During the processional a single photographer will be upfront with the officiant, focused on who’s coming down the aisle (left). A second photographer will stay focused on the groom’s reaction (right) and the emotion of walking into your ceremony.
RECEPTION
During the reception one photographer can capture the dance floor action, while a second photographer can handle instant group photo requests.

ANOTHER SPY IN THE HOUSE OF LOVE
One photographer will deliver fun candids of your wedding, but all of the images you see here were taken by the second photographer at the event. Another creative set of eyes could capture your favorite images!
DO WE GET TWICE AS MANY IMAGES?
Not twice as many, but the image count does increase. On a typical wedding day, a single Love & Lens photographer (PINE, ASPEN) will generate in the range of 75-125 finished image per coverage hour, while couples who select a dual photographer package (SPRUCE, CEDAR) are likely to see 100-150 images per coverage hour.
