• Support the Lead Photographer:Help with tasks like carrying equipment, retrieving items, or anticipating the lead photographer's needs, allowing them to focus on the main couple.
• Cover Different Areas:Capture the groom's getting ready, the bridal party, or other areas while the lead photographer is with the bride, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the wedding day.
• Time Management:Keep track of the timeline and assist in ensuring the schedule stays on track, providing reminders and updates to the lead photographer.
• Maintain a Low Profile:Be unobtrusive and blend into the background, allowing the wedding party and guests to feel comfortable and natural.
• Be Professional and Reliable:Arrive on time, dress appropriately, and maintain a positive attitude throughout the day.
• Communicate Effectively:Listen to the lead photographer's instructions and ask questions when needed, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
• Learn and Grow:Seek opportunities to learn from the lead photographer and improve your skills as a photographer.
