Are you looking for a fun, supportive photographer to help ease your stress on a wedding day?  I'm your girl!

My name is Renee and I have been second shooting for 6+ years!  I am absolutely comfortable shooting the groomsmen getting ready and am proficient using on-camera flash.

The outpouring of happiness and love that I felt on my own wedding day is the reason why I decided to become a wedding photographer. The joy and magic that happens at each and every wedding is something that continually captivates me and fills my heart to the brim.

I think that the most beautiful and memorable moments on a wedding day come from genuine connections and emotions. My favorite part of a wedding day is the first look, but I also adore the little details that go into making each day so special, perfect, and unique.

My portfolio will never take priority over yours. 

Ever.  

My main objective as a second shooter is to make your day easier and make your couple feel like absolute royalty.  You can count on me to always fluff a dress, straighten a tie, hide a necklace clasp, or even give you a little pep talk!

One thing that sets me apart from other second shooters is that I am always analyzing and reading the room.  I know when to take a step back and let a moment unfold naturally, but I also know when to step in and provide direction so we can capture a polished shot.

As your second shooter, your couple becomes "our" couple.  I will always care about them the way you do.  If there is anything that I can do to make them feel comfortable and more at ease, I will do it!

Questions for the Lead Photographer:

• Do you provide a second shooter contract for us to both sign?
• Do you have any setting preferences that I should be aware of?
• Are there any parts of the day where you would like me to shoot solo?
• Do you prefer I shoot with your SD cards or mine?
• Is there a dress code that you would like me to follow?  I typically wear all black, but please let me know if any cultural weddings require different attire.
• Will I be able to use the images I capture in my own portfolio and on social media if I credit you and your business page?  If yes, do you have any specific rules and restrictions?
• What is your typical payment method for second shooters?

I would love the opportunity to work with you and cannot wait to chat more!
