Denver Wedding Photographer | The Set-Up

First of all, congrats to Holly Clouse for winning my $10 Starbucks gift card just for leaving a comment on my last blog post.  Fun fun!

These are a couple set-up shots from a wedding I did back in May in Phoenix, AZ.  My second-shooter for the day, the ever-so-fabulous Jeanette, took a snapshot of me and what my set-up was for a few formal images and I did the same in return.  Both of us were set up in the same location, she was behind the couple, but up on the first floor of the hotel.  Amazing what two totally different angles can do to an image.

Here is the first image of me getting a very formal, straight-on picture:

Here is the second image of Jeanette on the first floor, shooting down a the couple (same location as where I was). This resulting image isn’t the EXACT same as the set-up shot, but she asked them to kiss shortly after.

Having a second-shooter is an absolute must for me when I shoot weddings. The variety of images and compositions for two sets of artists is amazing and it most definitely benefits each bride in getting some different points-of-view. Thanks Jeanette!!
