Assistant to the Photographer

The use of an Assistant Photographer can greatly add to your total photographic package.  The addition of an assistant photographer accomplishes the following:

  • Secondary flash for backlighting special shots
              Imagine your first dance, you want to see your guests in a circle around the dance floor.  Often times the lights are dimmed low and one flash on-top of the photographers camera isn't enough to light the people in the background.  A second photographer would hold a second flash pointed on the background.  Same holds true for twilight exterior pictures.  This second flash can also be used to add depth to any picture by offering a side source of light be create a better 3D effect on the subject.  It should be noted, this second flash will be on a stand and you will get the same quality image if you choose not to go with an assistant.

  • More pictures
              The assistant photographer will be taking candid pictures from unique and photojournalistic angles.  You will end up with more pictures, each one a special moment captured for your memories.  Weddings are busy places with many interactions.  An assistant photographer can capture even more of those special moments.

  • Free up the primary photographer from baggage during rushed times
              The limo pulls up to the reception site, the bride and groom step out and head inside.  Where's the photographer?  Oh, he's across the street parking his car.  With an assistant photographer, he'll park the car and the primary photographer will be right by your side ensuring he doesn't miss a shot.
Without Secondary Flash
 A soft and natural effect using natural light and perhaps an on-camera flash.  This type of image is standard and typical of most photographers.  It's very nice and I use this style as well for out-door natural light settings.  In-door and in dark setting, a single flash is not enough.  Notice the ballroom below.		 With Secondary Flash
This style is not typical of most wedding photographers as it entails more equipment and is generally more difficult to master.  This style is a specialty of Berryphotos.
 Notice how the couple looks more 3-demensional and are generally better lit.  The sky is more defined because the camera can be set to a higher F-Stop.
A secondary flash really makes your pictures "Pop".  The ballroom below is well lit and defined.
