HIRE ME AS YOUR

SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER

I would love to join your team - below is essentially my pitch deck, created for you, but with more aesthetic flair than a powerpoint.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

Having been in the wedding industry for over 10 years, I know how to provide value as a second shooter.

Q. What is your personality & aesthetic?

I'm a matter-of-fact, calm director, with a quick wit and knack for performing well under pressure. I've been a part-time wedding photographer for 10 years and have captured many weddings of my own, as a second and associate photographer . I believe in being formally overdressed rather than underdressed when working.

My photography style leans towards traditional, true to life with a touch of vibrancy, and film look.

Q. What kinds of content do you deliver? 

Whatever you need and then some. I've worked with enough photography teams myself that I know what kind of content is repetitive and what is adding value to the final gallery. I’m comfortable being on my own and photograph all events throughout the day.

Q. How do you exceed expectations? 

I always like to be one step ahead...at all times. Whether that means grabbing the bride's lipstick for a touch up before portraits or having water on hand, rarely am I not anticipating needs and already taking care of it.
