Second Shooter located in KC

Need a reliable second photographer for your next Kansas City wedding or event? I provide experienced second shooting to help lead photographers capture every moment with confidence. Whether you need extra coverage, help managing a busy timeline, or peace of mind knowing every angle is covered, I’m here to make your day smoother and your gallery stronger.

About Me

Hi, I’m Lexi Saldana! I’ve been in the photography world since college and have continued pursuing it ever since. Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some incredible photographers and second shoot more than 25 weddings. During the week, I work in marketing, but I love spending my weekends behind the camera.

My favorite part of photography is second shooting on wedding days: capturing unique angles, candid guest reactions, and helping the lead photographer ensure everything runs seamlessly.

While I’ve photographed my own weddings, I truly enjoy working as a second. I don’t have the bandwidth for the client communication and editing side of things, so supporting another photographer allows me to focus on what I love most: being present and capturing genuine moments.

I’m flexible in my approach, whether the day calls for someone who can take initiative or someone who blends quietly into the background, I adapt to the needs of the couple and the lead photographer.

Noticing the Details

I believe the little details matter just as much as the big moments, and I love capturing the candid, in-between shots that tell the full story of the day.
