Imagine if you could...
Whether you want to second shoot on the side of your full-time job or fill in the weekends around your own weddings, luxury second shooting is the sweet spot for increasing income without a drastic increase in workload.
Luxury second shooting is the answer you didn't even know you needed.
Did you know you can make over $1000 a wedding when second shooting?
Do you love photographing weddings, but hate the pressure of client communication, editing, and lead generation?
Weddings are the type of job that has a lot of learning only transferable through experience. I created Second Nature to help prepare you to exceed expectations once your foot is in the door. (and we are opening the door for you too with our guest speaker connections)
Your own weddings will benefit from these skills too!
The world of luxury second shooting has been a reliable and refining experience for me. My skillset as a lead photographer is constantly being improved through the indirect learning that happens when in proximity to some of the greats in the industry.
I have been documenting luxury weddings since 2021 under many incredible artists like Ali beck photo, sincerely sini, jsrhos, and more.
Hi, I'm Reagan.
Your investment gets you: a full luxury wedding for your portfolio, in-camera correction, portfolio critiques, direct access to our luxury photographer guest speakers, and more.
Your business will not be the same.
It's intimidating to invest into something big, wondering if it will pay off or have the impact you hope for. As someone who has taken over two dozen online courses, some worth it and some not, I've created Second Nature to be so jam packed with value that
I know this is a major investment in yourself and your business.

Because there's nothing worse than feeling rusty after a slow season.
Second shooting is the easiest and most consistent way to maintain those creative muscles, with inspiring stories, and stay game ready mentality.
It doesn't have to mean you can't shoot your own weddings.
It doesn't have to mean you can't edit the images you take.
It definitely doesn't mean that you are less of an artist than the lead photographer.
And it certainly doesn't mean you're not successful in your own business.
Second shooting is one of the most refining things you can do as an artist and business owner.
A multi-day workshop with a hybird of styled shooting and classroom lectures that will Train you how to second shoot luxury weddings with refined in-camera skills & professionalism.
What is second nature?
The top photographers in the world have incredible in-camera skill. If you want to be consistently hired on their teams, you need to know your cameras in and out. Daniel Kim, one of greats in my eyes, once said that he loves that he started in classic film photography because it taught him how to break the "rules" well. We will equip you with the foundations of in-camera skill so you can make game day decisions with confidence to break the rules.
practical in-camera skills to document like a luxury photographer
The purpose of second shooting is definitely not to build your own brand, but there are many ways to slowly and organically build connections with the vendors you're working with. You will learn how to discuss expectations with your lead photographers and impress the team with your professionalism.
organic networking
How you carry yourself is another key to success in the luxury market. You will learn what to wear, how to prepare, the art of small talk and reading the room. We want YOU to feel confident in your preparation and on the wedding day that you join these powerhouse teams.

There are many skills that set apart a luxury photographer, but one of the most important and subtle ones is storytelling. We will be teaching you how to look for the story before it unfolds, prepare for the unexpected and direct with intention. In tandem with the game day decisions, we will walk through the power of story within your final gallery.

Whenever I can, I will always hire her to be a second for my brand. I can’t recommend her enough as a photographer, but also someone who would train others to be excellent photographers. She knows what she is doing.
