- Hire a wedding photographer’s “Second”. That’s an assistant to a wedding photographer – sometimes they are even better than the wedding photographer they work for! (That would definitely have been what my dad needed the day he photographed a friend’s entire wedding with the lens cap on.) Seconds often have the high skills and even more motivation because they are building their portfolio.

- Look for free shots to fill in – We can often find free shots for you on sites such as Pexels.com or from your tourism bureau.
