As an experienced destination wedding photographer in Provence, working with high-end couples and venues in France, I always offer the option of a second photographer to my couples. I truly believe it is a real bonus, even a necessity at most events, and I much prefer working as a team. My second photographers are carefully selected to match and complement my approach; their style blends seamlessly with mine. They share my values and care for my couples, and together we create magic!
So here are 7 reasons why hiring a second photographer for your destination wedding in France is the best idea:
It opens up creative possibilities:
As the main photographer, my priority is always to stay close to the key moments and make sure all the important shots are safe. Having a second photographer means we can step back, explore different angles, and capture your day from fresh, artistic perspectives — without ever missing the main action.
More time for stunning drone shots and film images:
Flying a drone takes time, focus, and two hands. When I work with a second photographer, I can make sure the main moments are still being captured while I set up the drone. Then they handle the takeoff and landing while I keep photographying you and your guests. This also gives me the freedom to slow down and capture a few beautiful moments on film, without ever missing what’s happening around you. The result? Breathtaking aerial views and timeless film photographs that few couples ever get.
Extra safety and peace of mind:
I’ve heard too many stories of photographers getting hurt or gear breaking mid-wedding. While I always carry backup cameras and flashes, having a second photographer means your wedding will be fully covered, no matter what. It’s the ultimate safety net — and one less thing for you to worry about.
More genuine, candid moments:
We can be in two places at once — one of us focusing on you two, while the other catches those little emotional, funny, or spontaneous moments happening around you. I always capture these when I shoot alone. But with a second photographer, there’s simply more freedom, more angles, and more heartfelt, documentary-style photos of your guests.
A smoother timeline:
Two photographers means double efficiency. One can capture décor and details while the other photographs portraits or preparations. Everything flows more easily, and your day stays relaxed and on time.
Freedom to experiment:
Some parts of the day call for different approaches. The party, for example, where one of us might shoot with flash for crisp, dynamic photos while the other captures the ambient lights and movement. Being two allows us to experiment and create a rich, diverse gallery that truly captures the energy and atmosphere of your day.
Good vibes only:
A second photographer doesn’t just bring support — they bring good energy. We work as a team, keep the mood light, and make sure everything runs smoothly. And honestly, a happy photographer means even more beautiful photos.
Yes, this is me. Setting your dancefloor on fiiire!
