Working Alone

Occasionally I get asked if I work with another photographer for weddings, and the simple answer is no, I don't. Here are the reasons why.

1. It makes your photography more expensive.

2. People book Affirmation Photography because the like me, they like my style. If I brought another photographer, it changes the whole ethos.

3. One of the ideas I had behind Affirmation Photography was that it is a completely personalised service from the first phone call or email, to you receiving you final images. This way, I know all my Brides and you are never just another wedding. Though of course I need to make money, but I never want that to take away from the love I have for photography.

There are a few photographers around who maybe work in pairs, but do check that if you are paying for two professional photographers, that is exactly what you will get. Sometimes one will be a student on work experience getting paid £20 for example.

I do have two backup photographers for emergencies. I can cover their work and they can cover mine. Fortunately though, we have never needed to use each other, but it gives us and our clients peace of mind should the worse happen.
