THE ROLE IS GOOD FOR:

• A photographer with gaps in their schedule.

• A photographer who loves shooting but doesn’t necessarily enjoy the business side of things.

• A photographer looking to get into weddings.

• Someone shooting weddings part-time and not really interested in making it your full-time business.

• A photographer who just wants to shoot and work with great couples but not worry about edits, marketing, ordering, and album designing.

​

What I am looking for:

• Someone with a creative eye

• A kind spirit and friendly personality - someone who responds with grace under pressure

• Experience as a professional photographer, wedding preferred but not a must, experience shooting in manual mode

• Reliability

• Professionalism

• Able to work in a documentary style but also direct couples as needed

• Able to speak up for oneself 

• Professional gear 

• Professional insurance preferred

• Access to own vehicle for business travel

 

Since I am expected to be unable to shoot for about 7 months, I am hoping to find 4 to 6 reliable associate shooters to split up my shooting responsibilities. I know that many of you have your own businesses and this would be a way to fill in any gaps in your schedule. Having a variety of shooters to choose from will allow you to keep your books open while making some extra income when you have availability! I may continue to use associate shooters for the upcoming years as my business is expanding as well.

​

I am hoping to confirm each associate shooter via contract exactly three months before the date of the wedding. For example, If I have a wedding booked for 4/1/23, I would hope to have you contracted to cover that wedding on 1/1/23.

​

You would be required to second shoot a wedding with me at least once during 2022 to be considered for this position. The second shooting gig would be paid but it is not a guarantee of an associate shooter position. 

 

Hourly pay of $100 per hour would apply to all weddings where you are hired as the associate shooter. Second shooter payment would be based on a case-to-case basis. Pay would be sent via Paypal and you will receive payment after all of the images have been given to me! 

​

You must have two full-frame cameras, speedlights, and various lenses and be proficient in on-camera or off-camera flash. Strictly natural light photographers will not be hired. 

​

You must be okay with me listing your first name, a photo of you, and images from your portfolio on my website! You will be listed as an associate shooter!

​

Even if you are selected I can't guarantee that you will receive work opportunities. 

​

Thank you so much! I am looking forward to reading your questionnaire response!
