🎙️ Episode 121/Season 4: Second Shooters—Essential or Over-Sold?

Do you really need a second photographer at your wedding?

In this episode, Tammy Blalock breaks down when second shooters are essential—especially during getting ready coverage—and why staying present in one space is critical for documentary storytelling and building trust.

She also explains when a second photographer may not be necessary, including more intimate or shared getting-ready scenarios, and how to make a decision based on your unique day—not pressure.
