Associate & Second Shooter

Reliable support. Strong images. One team.

I provide associate photographer and second shooter coverage for photographers and studios that need an experienced, dependable professional on their team — someone who protects your brand as carefully as they protect the shot.

JP · Second Shooter

I have worked in the wedding industry for more than ten years. I understand that when you hire another photographer, you trust that person with more than your images — you also trust them with your clients, your reputation, and your brand. I take that responsibility seriously.

Whether I work as your associate photographer or second shooter, my goal is simple: support your vision, serve your client, and help the wedding day run smoothly.

How I Work

Good coverage requires teamwork.

As Associate Photographer

Leading, under your name.

I can take the lead while representing your studio and following your standards — your brand, your workflow, your expectations.

As Second Shooter

Supporting the lead.

I look for the angles, moments, details, and reactions that add depth to the final gallery. I also help with lighting, equipment, and logistics when needed.

Approach

Acts of service are my main love language.

I do not approach a wedding with the mindset of, "That is not my job." If something needs attention and I can help, I help — that mindset is part of how I work.

I also work as part of the full vendor team, communicating with planners, videographers, coordinators, DJs, and venue staff when necessary. The objective is always the same: help create a smooth experience for the couple and for everyone working the wedding.

Client Care

Your client is my client for the day.

When I work under your studio, I represent your business. I respect your client relationship, your workflow, and your brand.

I communicate professionally, stay aware of the timeline, and help solve problems without creating unnecessary stress — knowing when to take initiative and when to follow the lead photographer's direction.

Most importantly, I treat your client with the same level of care I give my own. The couple should receive an outstanding experience regardless of who is behind the camera.

That standard does not change because the wedding is small, large, simple, or high-end. Every wedding matters.

Experience & Systems

Experienced and adaptable.

My primary camera system is Nikon, and I work with professional full-frame bodies, lenses, and lighting equipment. I'm also familiar with the major digital camera systems used by professional photographers, and can adapt to different bodies and studio workflows when necessary.

If your studio requires a specific camera system for consistency, I'm open to renting the required equipment to match your preferred workflow and visual standards.

My job is not to impose my personal style on your brand. My job is to understand what you need and deliver work that supports it.

Communication

EN/ES

I speak English and Spanish fluently. When needed, I can help communicate with couples, family members, wedding parties, and vendors in either language.

This can be especially useful during family portraits, getting-ready coverage, ceremonies, and the fast-moving parts of the wedding day. Clear communication saves time and reduces stress.

Where I Work

Based in South Florida. Available to travel.

I work primarily throughout South Florida's East Coast, and I'm also available for assignments throughout Florida and the wider East Coast.

I have my own reliable transportation, including a 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross SUV, giving me the flexibility to travel with my equipment and handle assignments that require driving between locations. For longer-distance assignments, we can discuss travel requirements before booking.
