Leigh Skaggs Photography

I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Hampton Roads Virginia.

December 4, 2017

Leigh Skaggs Photography | Behind the Scenes: Assistants

Every year when we photograph weddings we make sure to snag some special behind the scenes images of us working! These are some of my favorite blog posts because it really showcases how much fun we have documenting YOUR special memories and events! This year I am spitting it into two blog posts and this one is dedicated to the amazing people who helped make sure I was able to deliver a wonderful experience with Leigh Skaggs Photography! Not only do my Second shooters/Assistants take AMAZING images, they keep me fed and watered, they hang dresses, pin boutonnieres, carry bouquets, and find wandering guests.  They run and fetch things all day, they kiss animals, they hold babies, they climb up, duck under, shimmy through and around anything to make sure that your day runs smoothly!

Thank you especially to Jay and Devin, without you two I would not be nearly as effective on wedding days! You both are so fun to work with and I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate you! You truly are my right hand men!
