Summary

  On this week’s episode of the Heart and Hustle Podcast we are sitting down and diving into how to work with second shooters as the lead photographer. We covered how you can BE a good second shooter in episode 285, (link below), but today we are flipping it around and looking at second shooting from a leadership role! Throughout our conversation today we talk about where you can find a good second shooter, things you need to vet in a potential candidate, and some of the prep work that will make all the difference. If you are looking to hire a second shooter but are needing some guidance on the best practices when it comes to hiring and trusting someone else to work with you on wedding day, this is absolutely the episode you need to listen to.
