Who is your Second Shooter?

WHO IS YOUR SECOND SHOOTER?

When I begin talking with a bride & groom about my wedding packages, I always talk about my amazing second shooter. Who is she? She’s mysterious and wonderful and makes me look oh-so-good. AND she happens to be my little sister! She’s literally, the bomb.

I always feel like people look at me a little sideways when I tell them that my sister is my second shooter. I can just hear the thoughts running through their heads: Really? Isn’t that a cop-out? Is she any good? Even if those aren’t the thoughts running through people’s heads, I love reassuring them that Ellen is incredible and we work really really well together and she’s second shot more weddings than I have first shot. Seriously folks, she’s legit. And the whip cream on top is that, while I’m with the bride & the girls while they get ready, Ellen is with the groom & the guys while they get ready. Trust me – you want her there. Ellen is single & and just relates to those guys so much better than I ever have! *cough cough* Ellen is SINGLE – feel free to hook her up with your available groomsmen! *hint hint*

Anyways, since everyone can’t seem to get enough behind-the-scene action, let me introduce you to my favorite second shooter, Ellen!
[Apparently, Ellen was obsessed with a certain shirt in the year 2015 too! Looks like I’ll have a shopping buddy when it comes to buying some new wardrobe pieces for 2016!]

This is no joke – Ellen’s also a talented pianist!

Hey! I recognize that sweet lil chubber!

So, here’s a tip – make sure someone knows how to tie up your dress! Take a bridesmaid or your Mom to your last fitting so your seamstress can show her how to lace you up! Otherwise, Super-Ellen will step in to save the day & tie up your dress!

My entire family are photographers.

Uhh, Ellen? Did you lose something down there?

I spy, with my little eye, a wild Ellen! Who has my umbrella! And is not holding it over my head!

ELLEN – you’re not supposed to hold the groom’s hand! The bride is right there!

Secret hand signals.

A wild Ellen! Working her magic with the guys – see? I told you she’s amazing with them!

Everyone thinks Ellen is the tall one in our family – it’s actually Amy!

She’s practicing her karaoke skills for the bridal party.

No, you stand over there.

Umm, please don’t touch the photographer.

She’s going to kill me for posting this one, but oh well.
Bottom line: we enjoy ourselves at weddings.
