As a full time wedding photographer, it’s a wonderful change of pace to work as a second shooter (second photographer) here and there throughout the year. I get to see how my fellow Michigan wedding photographers run a wedding day, I get to slow down and notice the “little things” that the primary photographer doesn’t get to catch, and, while the primary photographer is busy shooting very important main events (such as the family formals), I get to spend time shooting things I rarely can as a primary photographer, such as the reception decor!
For this Rochester, Michigan wedding, I was invited by the primary photographer, Jason Loudermilk of Loudermilk Photography, to be the second photographer. Jason is a treat to work with: like me, he keeps a cheerful attitude rolling all day long!

While Jason photographed the girls getting ready, I started my day with the guys.
Grandma just couldn’t resist getting a shot with her baby, all grown up! 😉
After arriving at the church, I caught a few snaps of the girls from a unique perspective while Jason directed them.
I love sneaking a few shots of my primary photographer at work!
After I was no longer needed for portraits, I got to spend some time capturing the gorgeous decor inside the Twin Lakes Reception ballroom.
One of the things that I love about Twin Lakes is the patio area. It was perfect for cocktail hour! While Jason finished up portraits with the bridal party, I photographed guests mingling and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
