This wedding planning podcast is meant to help couples, just like you, have NO REGRETS about their choice of wedding photographer or the resulting wedding images.

The publishing schedule is every Tuesday at 6 a.m. CST and periodic bonus episodes on Thursdays at 6 a.m. CST. In each episode, I’ll try to tackle a common problem or obstacle that I have personally experienced over the years of shooting weddings or I’ll discuss something that I'm currently observing in the industry. Occasionally, I’ll invite other photographers from all over the world to join me and offer their insight and expertise for your listening pleasure.

🎙️ Episode 102/Season 4: Do You Really Need a Second Photographer?

In this episode, award-winning wedding photojournalist Tammy Blalock breaks down one of the most common questions couples ask: Do you really need a second photographer?

Tammy shares five reasons a second shooter can make a meaningful difference—especially for coverage, creativity, guest candids, and peace of mind.
She also explains when you can confidently skip it.
With 15 years of experience (including two real ceremony-time camera failures), Tammy lays out how to match your coverage to your vision, timeline, and guest count.
