How many photographers do I need at my wedding?

This is a very common misconception. Some photography companies will try to sell you extra shooters when the truth is, on 99 percent of weddings I've shot over the last 10 years, an additional shooter would have been handy once. When the guest list was around 300 people. Given that most weddings in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley at least, are capped around 80-130 guests, unless you want something very specific, you do not need a second shooter. This applies to videography and photography.

When you take a look at my films and photography galleries, you may think there were more than one photographer or videographer there on the day. But there wasn't. Every wedding you see on my website was shot by one person. And everything was covered perfectly.

If you find yourself being bailed up into a corner, being pressured into spending extra money on something you don't need, then it's a good sign that photographer isn't in it for the right reasons. And on the wedding day, it will be evident in their attitude.

Save yourself the money and spend it where you will get value, or save it for after the wedding day.
