Photographer Assistant

ABOUT THE STUDIO:

We’re a little wedding photo + film team dedicated to capturing the moments that matter most. We do 200+ weddings per year, LOVE serving our clients, and our clients love us (pretty sure we're the highest rated studio in the state).

ABOUT YOU (hopefully!):

We’re currently looking for a warm, down-to-earth Assistant who loves serving people on one of the most meaningful days of their lives <3 We need someone that is others-oriented, can focus, work efficiently, self-start, and take constructive criticism. While this job does demand growth, the work environment is playful and up lifting. Our team is small so every person we hire truly does make a big difference to the company and our clients. We pull from the Assistant Program to hire our full-timers so if it's a good match there's room for growth and long term commitment.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Assisting on wedding shoots by holding a reflector, working our lights, caring for clients (adjusting the dress, holding bags, crowd control). But most important, love our clients as much as we do! This job is very performance based, so if it seems like a consistent great fit there's room to grow into an apprentice shooter (that also comes with a pay bump) :)

This is primarily a seasonal job April - October with most shoots in the evenings and on weekends (Thursday - Saturday). Minimum 20hrs (3-4 shoots) per month.
