After a decade in the industry, our destination wedding videography business was flourishing - but - we couldn’t quite solve our frustratingly chronic problem…finding quality second shooters.

Sure, there are countless Facebook groups and freelancing platforms, but they were mind-numbingly time-wasting to sift through. Keeping up with the tsunami of DMs (and unqualified spam) was grueling enough, let alone vetting their experience one by one.

It wasn’t just us either; every industry buddy we spoke to seemed to struggle with the same dilemma. We see and hear you, friends!

Something had to change, so we decided to fix it once and for all.  

Cue: Second Society.
