how many..

photographers/'assistants' are you having on your day? What are their titles and roles?

do you think you need more than one person taking pictures or assisting?

im not sure who is trying to overcharge me for unnecessary options!!

Re: how many..

Well I am having a guest list of about 225 people. My photography package came with two photographers and an assitant and two videographers. We chose to have only one vifeographer cause two is not necessary.

I don't think you necessarily need two photographers but I wanted to ensure I get as many pics as possible so we went with two.

Just shop around and you should be ok.

Re: how many..

the assistant doesnt take any pics they just assist the photographer with whatever they need. If you get a 2nd photographer then thats when you pay extra for that.

Re: how many..

i guess my question is.. is that 2nd photographer really necessary?

Re: how many..

My friend used Thomas Paul Photo. He has 2 photographers & 1 asstistant with all his packages with no additional charge.The cool thing is One photographer & the assistant started with us ( the girls) the other photographer started with the guys. Everything went so smooth we had everything done by time the cocktail hour started. He is a vendor on this site, check him out.

How many guest are you having....I have a friend who is a wedding photog and I asked her this question.....SHe said it should really depend on the # of guests. A good photog can get all the pics you need unless it is a big wedding

Re: how many..

I have a photographer and assistant. The main photographer and assitant will start taking pics where my FH is getting ready then they are coming to where I am getting ready. He is going to leave the assistant with FH if he needs to finish up some pics. Then they will be both at the ceremony/reception. I like they I'm having 2 people taking photos because I will get to see different pics from different angles. One might get a shot the other might have missed.

Me as well...and I'm thrilled to be getting two photogs and an assistant for the same reasons, I want FH to get pics before the church too.
