photographers - 1 or more?

I booked my photographer about a month ago. I have heard a lot of you ladies say you are getting two photographers; I only booked one. I am wondering about paying the extra money for the 2nd photographer; it would be about $800 more. Do you ladies think it is worth it? Did you book one photographer or two? opinions please!

I booked 2 - but that's the way they work...they are a husband/wife team. Personally, I think it's worth it to have 2 - the 2nd one can capture moments that the 1st doesn't see.

I only booked one photographer. IMO, $800 is alot of money to spend on another photographer. I rather take that money and spend it on something else.

I started with one photographer when I booked. Then I had the same experience, I read all these people getting two, and I started to think about it.

If we were having a traditional photographer I think one would be fine, but we're having a photojournalist and no videographer. Our photographer is creating the 'story of our wedding'. So, I thought about how many things would be going on simultaneously, for example, the last minutes while I'm preparing to go down the aisle and the last minutes while my fiance is taking his place at the alter. I want both. So, I decided on two.

My package come with 2 otherwise I dont think that I would have hired a second one. But in saying that I love the idea that there there will be 2 people there getting loads of diff shots.

If I could do it over again, I would have had a second photographer at the wedding. We have beautiful pictures, but I wish we had more of the story telling pics.

The second photographer takes candid pictures without you posing for them ussualy. If like like that i say it's def. worth $800. IMO it's important and $800 is a small % out of the whole budget, so I would cut cost on something else and get a 2nd one.

Our package comes with two photographers also. Actually, that is what really attracted me to this photographer. He captured such great shots with having two photographers taking pics at the same time.

Thanks ladies! I think I'm going to think about this strongly- maybe it is worth $800, after all the photos are the only thing I will have after the wedding!

Personally, I feel that money spent on the photographer is money well spent. Food, entertainment & photographer...I think those are the top things that $$$ should be spent on for a wedding.
