How many Photographer's do I actually need?

Original post by WeddingGirl2011

Some places offer two, which of course raises the price - but at the same time, I want awesome photos...

What are some of your thoughts about two photographer's - is it necessary?

Thanks all!

we're having two, just want to make sure nothing is missed and every moment is captured on our big day!

A lot of companies offer a second photographer in their packages. IMO it is so worth it to have a two. I want to be able to capture FH and his boys getting ready and unless you are in the same exact place getting ready, that is pretty impossible. Also, it gives a second set of eyes. Without that some very important reactions and/or details may be missed. Good luck!!

I would LOVE to have 2 as well! Unless that spins that portion of my budget out of control, I going to have 2

we are having 2 photographers and 1 assistant. I think it's soo worth it. One photographer will capture my getting ready moment and the other FH's getting ready moment. Also 2 photographers will most likely get pictures from 2 different angles. I think 2 photographers are better than 1. My package included that.

We booked with Thomas Paul. We have two photographers and an assistant. Photography is crucial to me.

i havent booked a photographer yet .. but i know i want two .. like everyone else said for the fh getting ready or hes looking at you while your looking at him .. etc .. i also got zap shots with my dj .. i think im going a little over board on pictures .. but i guess money will be tight for a lil bit .. pictures last forever so i guess it doesnt hurt to have extra? lol
i think im cutting back cost and only gonna have one video guy .. although i know i iwll regret NOT having a video .. im sure i will only watch it a handful of times.. im more of a picture person ..
so many decisions!

This has been a battle for a while now. I want 2 because of all the reasons already stated (and at this point we are inviting almost 300 people). However, FH says its a waste of time. I have a co-worker whose friend is trying to build her portfolio, so I said she could freelance. We will see what kind of work she does, but I still want another photographer!

We are having 2. I def want them to spread out in the room so we have different shots and we dont miss anything.
