Open Roles In West Palm Beach

You supply your own professional gear. Lead photographers need two camera bodies, backup media and off-camera flash; lead videographers need at least two 4K-capable bodies, professional audio and backup media. Associate roles have a lower gear bar and are a paid apprenticeship under a lead, with a path to the lead tier after approximately 4 successful scored second-shoots and review. Field roles need US work authorization and reliable transportation. Each role page lists what you must have to apply and what is only preferred. Editing is remote and open wherever you live: Wedding & Event Photo Editor, Wedding & Event Video Editor, Wedding & Event Photo/Video Editor (Hybrid).

How Lead Pay Works

Examples: 6 hr = $670 · 8 hr = $830 · 10 hr = $990

Mileage: $0.70/mile round trip when confirmed on your Assignment Confirmation.

Payment is typically after successful file upload (contract allows up to net-30). W-9 required before first payment.

Field assignment standards may require professional social BTS (photos and short videos) from the day. Missing required social deliverables can reduce final pay for that assignment by 10% under the contractor agreement - we disclose this up front.

Training reimbursement and a career ladder come after you are hired. Destination work is available for contractors who want it.
