Work with us

Shoot with us.

We take on a small number of photographers each year to second shoot and, in time, to lead their own weddings and sessions. We care about how you see a room more than how long your CV is, so the portfolio link is the part we look at first.

What working with us looks like

Briefed properly, paid on a rate agreed in writing

  • Engaged per assignment.As an independent contractor, on a day rate agreed in writing before the shoot. No exclusivity and no pretending it is a salaried job.
  • We brief you properly.A running order, the names that matter, the shots the client has asked for and a contact at the venue — on a page you can open on your phone at 7am without a password.
  • You upload both.The RAW files and your edited selects, two days after the event. We review the set, come back to you if something needs another pass, and deal with the client ourselves.

What we ask

Three things, none of them negotiable

  • Backup bodies, lenses and cards.A card failure at a wedding cannot be fixed afterwards.
  • Your own liability insurance.Or a willingness to arrange it before your first paid assignment. Venues ask for it and we have to be able to send it.
  • That the client never has to manage you.Turn up when you said you would, dressed for the occasion, and the rest of it is ours to handle.

If that sounds like the way you already work, tell us about yourself.

About you

We read every one of these. Work matters more than a CV, so the portfolio link is the important field.

Your work

Practicalities

Honest answers help — "not yet" is a perfectly good answer and does not rule you out.

We will only use these details to consider you for work with us.

Know another photographer who would fit?

Pass this page on. We would rather hear from someone you rate than from an advert.

Not looking for assignments?

List your own business in the directory instead

A different thing entirely: your own listing, your own prices, couples enquiring with you directly. Building the profile is free, and the 30-day pass is $0 while we fill the directory.
