This is what the Pros had to say at Rangefinder magazine in their February issue.

 

"It has always been our belief that two photographers are essential to covering a wedding, no matter how large or small.  Having two unique angles and perspectives ensures that you capture not only the moment, but the emotion behind it."

 

"Unlike photographers who use rotating or random second shooters, hiring a couple or partnership helps the bride and groom feel confident in getting to know both photographers.  They are able to establish a connection with clients quickly, because they've been through the same ups and downs."

 

Matt and I have learned to look past the immediate action and look for the reactions at a wedding or event.  We know we're able to take the extra time to look for these amazing moments because we are both on the job.  We have been able to build not only a strong business but a strong marriage in the process.  Working with your significant other can pose some challenges, but through time we've found that the little bumps in the road (like who gets the "good" lens and who has to drive home) are nothing compared to being able to share your life's work with the person you love.
