Overview

We are seeking 'A' and 'B' Shooters both photo and video. That means you have shot between '25-50' weddings for a B shooter, or over 50 for an 'A' shooter.

A shooters know how to direct a bride, a crew of 4 and own all your equipment. You are responsible for the shoot going smoothly, included liaising with the couple, planner, and directing and supervising the team.

B shooters are on a similar technical proficiency and gear as A shooters but are not expected to lead the team, be the point person with the couple and planner, nor be the main responsible person for the shoot.

Key things that will make you successful with us:

1. You love doing this.

2. You know your stuff.

2. You are great with people.

3. You own all required equipment (More on that later)

4. You check your ego at the door.
