Friendly, Experienced
second shooter

Hi, my name is

Renee

I'd love to work

with you!

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


I have been second shooting for 5+ years and have shot at many venues - ranging from The Old Courthouse, The Hyatt, Brookside Farms, Gordon Green, Franklin Park Conservatory, and more!  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!


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?
  • Will I be able to use the images I capture in my own portfolio?  If yes, what are the rules and restrictions?
  • Why is your typical payment method for second shooters?


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