It’s a popular question for many couples beginning the planning process. The truth is when searching for a Toronto wedding photographer, many people will tell you it really depends on preference, and there are advantages and disadvantages to each—let’s break down things to consider so you can make the best decision for your wedding day.
CANDIDS
Wedding photographers anticipate moments to capture memories. Two photographers will allow for the second photographer to focus on different aspects of the wedding, like candids and both Bride & Groom reactions during a first look. Two wedding photographers is an additional cost, so plan your budget accordingly when decision making. Keep that in mind and take some time to reflect on your priorities.
You want your photos to tell a story. If you decide to go with one photographer, their job will be to focus on the Bride & Groom throughout the day. If you would like a large landscape captured for your wedding, and not sacrificing those intimate moments, a second photographer could be beneficial. Two photographers allow for more flexibility, candid’s, and photos taken at secondary angles throughout your wedding day.
CONSIDER SIZE AND LOCATION
If you’re having a micro-wedding with a smaller guest count, two photographers can overcrowd your big day. It’s important to consider wedding size, and the location of your wedding when thinking about photographers. If you would like wide angle perspective photos for your wedding and want it expressed in your images—this might be difficult for one photographer to accomplish. They are going to be focused on capturing the personal moments that take place during your preparation, ceremony, and reception. Guest count, location and logistics are two essential points that can make or break the need for one or two photographers.
