"None of us is as smart as all of us" - Ken Blanchard
Every wedding over 6 hours includes a second shooter. You might be wondering, why?
If you're in the middle of planning your wedding you've probably realized that planning a wedding is no small feat. This is why having the extra support is so valuable. My second shooter's to-do lists are endless:
- They are capturing the parts of the day that I can't, whether that's at a separate getting ready location or just behind my back during portraits.
- They are a second set of eyes on key moments like your first kiss. This ensures there's always a backup if something goes wrong.
- They are making sure we are in two places at once... sneaking into decorated rooms before me if I'm still finishing up portraits, etc.
- They are capturing different candids than me during cocktails.
- They are also an extremely valuable support for me as the lead photographer. They are a backup if I slip out to use the washroom, they help me carry heavy gear, run to get my water when I'm parched but refuse to miss any of your special moments.
A second shooter is literal gold to a lead on the day of! Choosing photographers for my team isn't something that is done lightly. They have to be kind, creative, hardworking and so much more. These people below are chosen to be the absolute best Windsor-Essex has to offer.
MEET MYA
Mya Fuerth, Associate + Second Shooter
Mya is a huge asset to the Emma Davidson Photography team! She is an incredibly creative person with a background in fine art and a passion for the art of photography. As a second shooter, she brings a smile that will light up a room. Her calming Enneagram 9 energy will make you feel at ease throughout your entire day and she has a creative edge that will bring a spark to your final gallery.
Mya is also the associate photographer on our team. Which basically means that she runs the lead on wedding days that I'm already booked for. She has been trained on how I work and shoot so that her style and approach mimic what you would see with any wedding photographed by myself. If interested in having Mya photograph your day, reach out to us through our contact form for more information!
MEET JOE
Joe Symchyshyn, Second Shooter
Joe has been a loyal part of the Emma Davidson Photography team since 2015. His enneagram 1 personality ensures that no detail of your day will be overlooked. You'll find him teaching the groomsmen all of his experienced wedding techniques, running to make sure you have that extra towel or water bottle that you forgot you needed and overall being one of the kindest people you'll meet.
Also, if you order professional prints or canvases through me, this is the man that does all of this work by hand. Including building the frames that you canvases get wrapped on. His attention to detail is next to none.
He is an experienced photographer with a special knack for tricky lighting situations and the EDP team wouldn't be the same without him.
