When I used an assistant (or Second) I presented the work to the client as my 'own' but let the assistant use the work for their paper physical portfolio only. I haven't used an assistant since I switched to digital but I still do the same thing. The work is theirs but it's not for public consumption, in the form of facebook or even a blog, if that makes any sense.
EDIT: This is an interesting article... http://www.wedpix.com/articles/009/wedding-second-shooters-and-assistants/
This is typical, no worries, just ask if you can use them for your port...if not....then you have to decide if the money is worth it for you. What are you going to do with the images though that this bothers you?
Yes, USER876, i am not sure what do i do with images? i guess just keep them for myself as a practice :)
yes that's correct. As a paid second shooter, your images belong to the person who hired you. You can typically use your images from the wedding to show your clients at consultations, but may be stricter guidelines surrounding online use of the image. If the primary photog booked the wedding, the clients are hers. She may not want you using the images in your online galleries, but may agree that you can blog them if you give primary photographer credit/link and mention that you were second shooting for X Photography.
Also, be courteous and don't pass out your business cards when you are second shooting a wedding. I hired a second shooter that did this at one of my weddings. Very poor etiquette.

I am fairly new in wedding photography, and today i asked to be a second shooter for a wedding in late spring 2012. I have done 12 weddings myself in 2011, but never have been asked to be a second shooter. The main photographer is paying me for my time and outlined what type of pictures i will responsible for, but here is what i need help in. The photographer wants all my raw files, she will edit them and then they become her property. Is that usually happens? So i take all those pictures and i do not have right to them?
Is that what usually happens when you are a second shooter?
