Value of a second photographer
Also known as a second shooter or assistant photographer. On small one hour beach weddings a second shooter is not critcal. But on larger weddings the coverage is much better with a second shooter.
Lets face it, I can’t be every where at once. The main reasons for a second shooter are:
- Getting that shot from a different angle that works better. I may be out of position because of my primary concerns of other photos.
- More photos of your guests. This usually happens when I am shooting the portraits of the bride and groom.
- Equipment malfunction. Even though I carry backup gear, what happens if the camera jams right at the first kiss? A second shooter would be getting those shots also.
Our new blog
Studio18.3 Photography is located on the island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands (yes, 18.3 is our latitude). I will be posting photographs that we shoot with commentary and maybe even a couple of jokes. We do crack ourselves up sometimes. You will be seeing pictures from weddings, commercial shoots and the occasional one “just for fun”.
Just so you can get to know us better we will also share our special experiences with you. Including almost live coverage of hurricanes. Sailing trips and even first hand reports on photography conventions we attend.
This is a newer version of our blog after our web site got hacked!! Getting hacked is a real PITA. But hopefully our regular viewers will appreciate the new look and functionality.
A St. John villa wedding
Do you want to go in style? You may want to think about a villa wedding on St. Thomas or St. John in the Virgin Islands.
Although the day was a little cloudy, the view was to die for. This “little” villa is a bit pricey I’ll grant you. At 16K Sq. Ft. it rents for north of $4K a day. But boy you get your moneys worth. The are a very large number of villas available on both St. Thomas and St. John
Here is a shot of the bride at the entrance to the villa. Paula and Jeff were a great couple to photograph, and very gracious. Thanks folks … it was fun! Oh ya, and the food was pretty good too.
