Why having a second shooter / assistant photographer can make all of the difference in the finished job

I would like you to take a close look at the series of pictures shown here which are taken from the wedding I shot just after Christmas. By me working with a 2nd shooter or an accomplished assistant the couple get shots from different angles and view points throughout  the wedding ceremony. Everything was calm and quiet just as it should be with me at the front of the church and Andrew at the back and no one leaping about or using flash. and the couple are delighted with the photographs.

It’s one thing knowing to invest in a professional photographer and another to get a 2nd shooter on the day. The difference is plain to see.
