Double the Coverage, Double the Moments

One of the most overlooked features in my all-day wedding photography package is the inclusion of a second photographer. As a full-time wedding photographer in Shropshire, I believe this makes a huge difference in telling your complete love story.

Why Have a Second Photographer?

Weddings are filled with split-second moments, happening simultaneously. While I’m capturing your vows from the front, my second shooter might be documenting a tearful parent in the back row. During couple portraits, they’re catching the laughter, hugs, and energy from your guests.

From prep to party, we can be in two places at once—ensuring nothing is missed.

Especially Valuable in Larger Shropshire Venues

Many of Shropshire’s top wedding venues Rowton Castle, Pimhill Barn, and The Courtyard Venue are large, with beautiful grounds and multiple event spaces. A second photographer helps us cover the venue and moments efficiently, without rushing or staging.
