We recently had the opportunity to second shoot a wedding in Jackson, Mississippi, with Mark Eric, an extremely talented Louisiana photographer.  It was a great learning opportunity for us thanks to Mark answering any and all questions we had!  With Mark’s permission, we’re sharing a few of our favorite images from Amanda and Jeremy’s wedding.  (Be sure to check out Mark’s blog to see Amanda and Jeremy’s engagement photos!)

One of the great things about second shooting is that it’s a chance to test out angles that you may not normally shoot from. For example, the first sight.

During the bride and groom portraits, Mark posed his couple for a killer shot! While Mark was getting the ultimate shot, we grabbed shots from our secondary and tertiary angles.  (Nicole mostly wanted to share this image because Amanda’s dress is stunning in this photo!)


As a second shooter, we try to shoot as many details as possible. While the main photographer is capturing group photos or off with the bride and groom, we have the chance to grab some of the details that are super important to the couple.


With an extra hand or two, you can grab some fun images that wouldn’t normally appear. In this case, Mark looked at me and said it would be cool to grab a picture from the balcony of the room where the girls got dressed.  He, of course, needed to stay ground level for the super important processional photos, so I ran upstairs and captured a few scope images before hauling down the stairs for the full ceremony.  

And it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t make sure to capture a killer image of a super cool car. But, in this case, it wasn’t me…it was Nicole that grabbed an amazing picture of this 1969 Thunderbird convertible. That was a sweet ride!

A big thanks to our new friend, Mark Eric, for letting us hang out and learn from him! Nicole and I have been so lucky in our photography careers to make friends with the best of the best.  We cannot thank the people who help us along the way enough! So thanks again, Mark!  We really look forward to working with you again soon!

That’s all for now! Check back soon for a blog post featuring an adorable 1 month old baby!
