Multiple Photographers During A First Look Is Key To Capture The Entire Picture
During a first look, multiple photographers are beneficial because this isn’t just a one shot, one angle moment. In the photos below, you can see the same moment being photographed at different angles showcasing both the bride and groom’s reactions. It is difficult to capture the anticipation and emotion of both the bride and groom with just one photographer shooting.

Multiple Photographers Increases Creativity With Ability to Take Take Risks
If there is only one photographer, he or she has to stick to capturing standard, safe images. However, with three reliable photographers, 2 of the 3 can take risks, shoot through objects, and find unique angles. In the photos above, you can see this couple under their Mandap. With three photographers, we are able to capture different angles of not only the couple but the details of the Mandap as well.
Multiple Photographers Prepares Us For Unpredictable Situations
Having multiple shooters minimizes the risk in multiple ways. The risk of missing a moment because of an unexpected event, like a guest jumping into the aisle with their camera during a first kiss. It also minimizes the risk of missing entire moments due to memory card failure or other equipment issues. It is beneficial to have back up because if something were to happen (car troubles, traffic, illness, last minute change of plans, etc.) there are other shooters to fill his or her place.
