I love being a second photographer, and below you can find testimonials from photographers I have shot for over the years. I shoot with two Canon Mark III bodies, a mixture of prime and zoom lenses, and OCF when requested. I charge $60 per hour, plus travel if the wedding is over 2 hours away from Burlington, VT. Minimum 7 hour day. I’d love to work with you!
“Alanna and I spend a lot of time together every wedding season, and I can’t say enough about her work and her reliability. Alanna has never called out of a wedding, or left me short-handed, and in all the years we have worked together, she has never been late to any event. Her photos are always clean, sharp, and she always knows how to be where I’m not, so that we’re covering all angles. As far as her personality, she is kind, outgoing, and just plain funny. She is my primary second shooter, and she has no problem fitting in with the boys as she photographs them getting ready. When she’s not shooting after-ceremony portraits with me, she is at ease mingling with guests during cocktail hour and getting some great couple shots, as well as candids of people having a good time. She is professional and has a great work ethic, but we also spend the whole day laughing and always have a great time. I highly recommend her as a second shooter!”

“Alanna is the very best!! If you get the chance to scoop her up for all of your events, do it ASAP! Not only is she incredibly talented behind the camera, but she is a mind reader and manages to grab the shots I need before I even think to ask! Just as important is her ability to get along with anyone, and she makes all my couples laugh and feel at ease. I just wish she still lived in MA! I miss working with her SO much."

"I've done several weddings with Alanna and could not recommend her enough! She is professional, kind, responsive, and super easy to work with. When I work with Alanna, I know the photos from all of the important moments are going to be there with good composition, sharp focus, and perfect exposure. She's super helpful in assisting with the family portraits and has a great natural eye for documentary moments. Anytime I'm in need of an assistant, Alanna is always at the top of my list!"

“Can I have Lana second shoot with me every wedding please? Can she move back to MA? Honestly, not only is Lana beyond reliable, but she is SO fun to work with. Having her by my side for weddings puts me at ease. Not only do I love having her there, but so do my couples. I can’t tell you how many times I have gotten text messages from my couples and their parents saying what a joy she was. She is always where you need her to be without even telling her. Anytime I ask her if she got a certain shot, she always replies with an “obvi”. It’s as though she can read your mind. Her years of experience shows as she hustles around grabbing the candid shots that you sometimes can’t get as a primary. She just knows what to do and where to be. You will never hear a complaint from her, even if we are waiting way too long for dinner or if we get extended at the last minute. I am super grateful anytime I get to
have Lana by my side!!!”

“Alanna is a solid (and fun) second shooter! What I love about working with Alanna is that she interacts great with my clients, and she anticipates where she needs to be without skipping a beat. Her work is beautiful- so much so that I hired her to photograph my family. I would highly recommend her as a part of your photography team!”

“Alanna has worked with me as a second shooter for many years and I’ve always been very happy with her work. She is reliable, confident, engaging with guests, and very fun to be around. We often split up and she handles the guys independently, and her work is always excellent. I would highly recommend her. She’s my top choice to work with as a second shooter.”
