Typically all vendors get tipped. Even when they own their own business. We have staff we pay and other expenses. If you can’t tip, that’s ok but a card and a review do wonders.
I wish. 100k weddings and people don’t tip the people who make it happen. 🤷♀️
I tipped the owner and hoped he gave some to the second shooter for photpgrapher
They should. As a wedding planner, I typically receive an envelope for me and one for my team. I keep mine and split theirs between them.
When I receive one envelope then I wait to open it when I get home and split accordingly by zelle.
So how did you go about it? I usually tip everyone.
Everyone gets a tip. Even the owners. Doesn't really matter. Hope this helps.

I can’t really speak to what’s normal but would recommend considering if the two photographers work for the same company (vs the main photographer bringing in a business partner/friend who owns a separate business) and consider giving tips to the individual privately. Maybe also check your contract to see if it mentions anything about tips.
I added up all the tips I think I need to give (wedding in 4 weeks) and it’s $600-$700. Is this normal? Sorry to answer your question with a question !

It depends on your vendors and their prices/contracts. According to the link, the following vendors expect tips: hair/ makeup, catering, officiant, and transportation. Other vendors are listed as optional, so I guess you can base it on your experience with them and whether they own their own business.

There's no rule of thumb really. Just give them tips if you feel like it. But when I do, I usually based it on performance and outcome regardless if they are the owner or not.
Are the two of them working for the same company? If so, you can tip the main photographer and hope he gives something to the second photographer. You can also tip them separately.
I think you can split the tip into two. That would be better. It doesn't have to be equal though. You can split it based on their performance.
