ASSOCIATE & SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER RATES


An Experienced Photographer You Can Trust


A wedding day is filled with beautiful, fleeting moments—and having the right photographer by your side means having someone you can trust to recognize those moments, anticipate what comes next, and step in wherever they are needed.

I have been a photographer since 2016 and have been photographing weddings since 2018. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to document celebrations in a variety of settings, work alongside talented creative teams, and develop an approach that is both intentional and adaptable.

I photograph approximately 15 weddings of my own each year, and I intentionally dedicate my remaining weekends to working alongside other photographers as an associate or second photographer. I truly enjoy this side of my work. There is something special about being able to contribute to another photographer's vision while bringing my own experience, energy, and perspective to the wedding day.

Since 2022, I have also had the privilege of being part of the Lacy James Weddings & Films photography team. Lacy James Weddings & Films is a highly respected and widely recognized name in the wedding and film industry throughout Louisiana and the surrounding states. Being part of this team has allowed me to work in a high level of professionalism while gaining invaluable experience in creating a seamless experience for both couples and fellow photographers.


 

More Than a Second Photographer



I believe being an exceptional second photographer is about much more than arriving with a camera and taking beautiful photographs.

It is about being present, observant, prepared, and genuinely helpful.

I pay close attention to the details happening around me and make it a priority to anticipate what the lead photographer may need before being asked. Whether that means helping with a dress, gathering family members, adjusting lighting, keeping an eye on the timeline, carrying equipment, assisting with portraits, or simply being an extra set of hands when the day gets busy, I am happy to step in.

My goal is always to make the wedding day feel a little easier for the photographer I am working alongside.

I am also comfortable taking direction and adapting to the way each photographer works. Every photographer has a unique style, workflow, and vision for their clients, and I respect that completely. I see my role as an extension of that vision—not a competing one.


Weddings can be wonderfully unpredictable. Timelines shift, weather changes, emotions run high, and there are often countless moving pieces happening at once.

I bring a calm and positive presence to those moments.


Clear communication is important to me, both before and during the wedding day. I want the photographer I am working with to feel confident knowing that I understand expectations, will communicate when something needs attention, and can be trusted to handle my responsibilities independently. I am able to manage timelines, to anticipate moments, and make decisions quickly when things don't go exactly according to plan.


My experience allows me to come alongside another photographer with an understanding of what they are juggling—and a genuine desire to help carry some of that load.


I also understand the importance of how we interact with clients. As a second or associate photographer, I am representing more than myself—I am representing your business, your reputation, and the experience you have promised your couple.


I take that responsibility seriously.


At the end of the day, I want to be the photographer you are excited to see on your wedding day.

Someone who is easy to communicate with.

Someone who takes direction without hesitation.

Someone who notices the little things.

Someone who is willing to do whatever is needed.

Someone who can confidently handle their camera and lighting while still keeping the couple's experience at the forefront.

And most importantly, someone you can trust.


I value the relationships I have built within the wedding industry and genuinely enjoy collaborating with other photographers. I believe the best wedding days happen when everyone involved feels supported, respected, and confident in one another.

Whether you are looking for a dependable second photographer, an experienced associate photographer, or simply an extra set of capable hands for a demanding wedding day, I would be honored to come alongside you and help bring your vision to life.
