Your Ideal second Shooter
Second Shooter
Specialist wedding photographer in Nottinghamshire
Mann Hans Wedding Photography
As a skilled and experienced second shooter for wedding photography, I understand the importance of capturing every special moment and emotion of a couple’s big day. I work closely with the main photographer to ensure that every angle is covered and that every moment is captured in the best possible way.
I have a keen eye for detail and a passion for capturing the beauty and emotion of a wedding. I bring a professional and reliable approach to every shoot, and I am dedicated to delivering high-quality images that meets the needs and expectations of my clients.
I am comfortable working in a variety of settings and am able to adapt to changing situations in a timely and efficient manner. I am also a team player and enjoy collaborating with the main photographer and other members of the wedding team to ensure a smooth and successful shoot.
About Me
Hi, I’m Mann, a Nottingham wedding photographer that specialises in relaxed & natural wedding photography. My approach is to put you and your guests at ease on your wedding day. I feel it’s really important to build a good relationship with my couples prior to the day to ensure you are comfortable in front of the camera so I can capture those real moments.
Why you want to hire me as a second shooter?
- I’m self reliant and independent. I won’t be hanging around the corner on my smart phone, unless I am doing social media updates for you
- I’m not going to be hanging off your hip (unless that’s what you ask for) I’ll be off shooting something else, giving you options for the client.
- I’m not a dick. I won’t be embarrassing you or your business. This is your gig. I won’t give out my business cards
- I am half decent photographer. I’m all about getting you the shots you want and need, because if I nail it for you, you are more likely to ask me to shoot again. Money in the bank.
- I’m no diva. You want to palm off all the group shots onto me? No problem. I’ll stand and shoot until Grandma has had enough. Can’t be bothered with room shots? I’m on it. Whatever makes your day easier.
What do I do?
I’ll cover the other partner while you are busy. I’ll shoot from the back, or the front, or the side, wherever you aren’t. I can set up OCF shots and either nail it myself or leave it to you. I’m not looking for credit or applause, it’s your gig and your client.
You can bounce ideas off me, ask for advice, use me as a sounding board or just throw your cameras in the corner and go off outside for a meltdown, no dramas. I’ll cover it for you until you get yourself right.
I’ll scout out interesting places for your shots, I’ll liaise with the venue, the registrars, I might even be nice to the priest. I will be super polite to everyone, even if they are not polite to me.
I’ll be with you all day so rest assured that I’m a just a regular guy. I don’t have weird views on race, religion, identities or politics.
My Kit
Some information so you can integrate me into your workflow
- I shoot on two Sony bodies, an A1 and an A7iv and I have a spare A7iv and an FX30 in my bag.
- The time and date settings are almost always perfectly synchronised.
- I shoot primes, 20mm, 35mm, 50mm, 55mm , 85mm, 135mm along with 16-35 Sony GM, 35-150mm f2 to 2.8 Tamron zooms
- I have a lot of flash gear and MagMod modifiers. I bring my own stands.
- My cameras use SD cards, I’d prefer to shoot on yours but if I’m starting at a different location I can shoot on mine. Preferably copy them before I leave or post them back the next day.
