Filmmakers Wanted

Over the last 6 years, I've shot the vast majority of our wedding films and edited everything myself.  That's a lot. Something to the tune of 1500 hours of footage. Add in having twins two years ago, being a landlord as well as a few other hats I'll be wearing in the future and the plate is spills over.

The great thing about being a mostly referral business is getting to work with people we're on the same page with from day one. The one negative is our referral base is spiraling north, south and very far west.  We get requests from Virginia to Vermont every day.  

Over the years we've supplemented a videographer or two based on need and I've had the great opportunity to work with some terrific filmmakers.  I could do a weekend long film festival showing just the films of our shooters.  I'm happy to say it's been due to their success they've moved on to other projects.

So, entering 2014 and looking toward 2015 we are looking to bolster our roster and expand into more areas.  Specifially we're looking for  for the following areas.


  • Washington DC Metro
  • Baltimore Metro
  • Eastern Shore/Delware (Second shooter)
  • New Jersey
  • Philadelphia 
  • Connecticut / Rhode Island 
We're mainly looking for lead shooters with some wedding experience.  You don't have to have fifty weddings under your belt. We'd rather hire a part time wedding shooter who shoots all sorts of other projects than someone focused on weddings.

We pay dependant on experience, but generally $75+ for Lead Shooters and $50+ for second shooters.  Since we also get requests for commercials, music videos and some other corporate work I'd love to talk to you about that as well.

We will be implementing a bonus system for 2014 and exploring some other avenues as well.  Also, if you know a great videographer who ends up working with us we have a referral bonus as well.
