Being Specific about What You Want Your Second Shooter to Do
If you assign a role to your second shooter and decide that you’ll have her photograph something on her own, make sure to communicate the specifics. For example, if your second shooter is taking the photos of the groom and you know you want a photo of the groom’s shoes and his funky socks, make sure to tell the second shooter exactly what you want. If you don’t, and you realize at the end of the wedding that you never got some of the photos you wanted, it’s your fault — not the second shooter’s.
