035: All about 2nd shooting, Paul & Cinnamon

Oh boy! 2nd shooting. You wouldn't think this is a controversial subject, but sometimes it can cause a stir. People have very strong opinions about 2nd shooting and how you should approach it. In today's episode I'm sharing about how I got started 2nd shooting and my first wedding (even though I had never 2nd shot before). 

We also go through looking for primary shooters and all of the benefits that go along with focusing on 2nd shooting for your business!
