value of a great second photographer

I put a lot of trust into the hands of the person I shoot with on the day of the wedding. For this Greek wedding I had Ryan (my awesome second photographer for the day) climb up a crazy two story ladder into the bell tower and camp out while we waited for the reception to begin. While he waited I was able to capture the couples entrance from the ground. And eventually his patience and skill paid off with an overhead shot that showed the couple during their first dance.
