The Vernons. 2nd shooter for Lyndsey Wright, St. Louis Wedding Photographer

07/15/2026

I love running my own weddings, but there is something so incredibly fun about stepping into the second shooter role. I got to capture these stunning moments for the new Mr. and Mrs. Vernon, and it was an absolute blast.
A second shooter is basically your wedding day insurance policy. While the lead is capturing the classic portrait, the second is grabbing the editorial, candid motion shots. We get to play with creative angles, grab the ceremony details you might have missed seeing in person, and make sure every angle of your day is completely covered. 2nd shooter for Lyndsey Wright, St. Louis Wedding Photographer

A chaotic day in the life of a wedding photographer. 10+ hours, extreme heat, sudden downpours, and a serious case of overshooting. We made our guesses this morning, but the actual final numbers aren’t too crazy 😜 Nichole Park Photography
