Photographer Question

I went to LightHouse yesterday and I think I am going to use them. Are most people getting one or two photographers? Will i be fine if I do just one?

Re: Photographer Question

It depends on how big your family is, how big the bridal party is and how big the guest list is. I wanted two photographers because I have a big family. Some photographers told me I don't need two, but I wanted full coverage and my photographer always includes two.

I have one photographer with an assistant but also have DOC's to help organize people for the pictures.

I would ask. My instinct is that you should have two because you have a big bridal party, but I don't know how much extra you are talking about and if you think its worth it. Maybe you can negotiate it in?

Re: Photographer Question

I booked lighthouse and I got 2 photographers. Not necessarily because I have a big bridal party, I have 6 girls and FH has 5 guys. My main reason for getting the 2nd photographer was so that a photographer can go to FH's house and take pics of the guys getting ready and all together instead of having all those pics done at the church. I also liked having a 2nd photographer just knowing that everything will get captured throughout the day.

Re: Photographer Question

we are using 2 (w/ Patken) but lighthouse also told us they typically use 1 and then you can pay an add'l fee for a 2nd. it all depends on your needs - we also wanted the guys to be able to get captured getting ready and what not as well as getting diff angles since we may not do a videographer
