Amari Productions is hiring: Wedding Photographer / Videographer in Baltimore

Join to apply for the Wedding Photographer / Videographer role at Amari Productions

Amari Productions is a high‑end video and photo studio specializing in weddings. Our brand is built on a deep passion for creative storytelling and candid, genuine connection. Our clients have taken us all over the world, from Tuscany to Tulum, Portland (Oregon) to Portland (Maine). We’re lucky enough to make a living by partnering with couples to both spend the best day of their lives with them, and create a work of art to forever memorialize that day. Suffice to say, we love what we do!

Who we're looking for:

• A creative who sees all the parameters of a live event not as constrictions, but as a palette to paint with.
• A professional who can represent Amari at events and be a steward of our brand while remaining personable, and flexible.
• A candidate who's looking to add 15-30 events a year to your calendar.

How work is assigned:

• You have full control over your availability – you can book other gigs or hold a full‑time job. Just block off any dates you don’t want events potentially assigned to you.
• You will be assigned events 3‑6 months in advance. Your Amari shoots will be known well ahead of time.
• Once assigned an event, you are responsible for it. If another opportunity comes up, you must connect with the team to find someone to cover you.

Core responsibilities:

• Film or photograph (can do both or specialize in just one) in a myriad of indoor and outdoor settings, typically between 6‑10 hours per event.
• Maintain quality and creativity of work, coupled with an easy‑going, affable demeanor around couples, their guests, and other vendors, even in stressful or unexpected situations.
• Ensure you’ve received all notes and schedules needed for your assigned shoots and review them ahead of time.
• Back up and upload raw images & footage to Amari's servers in a timely manner, recognizing the importance and sensitivity of the data.
• Second shooter: 1‑3 years experience filming and/or photographing, wedding experience not necessary.
• Lead shooter: 1‑3 years experience as a lead wedding photographer and/or videographer.
• Weekend availability, as shoots are almost exclusively on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.
• Reliable transportation for weddings all around DC, Baltimore, and the surrounding area.
• Ability to be on your feet for 6‑10 hours at a time.
• Ability to maintain an accurate availability calendar up to 6 months out.

Rates:

• Associate second shooter: $35/hr
• Principal second shooter: $50/hr
• Associate lead shooter: $75/hr
• Principal lead shooter: $100/hr
• Training: $20/hr (typically a half to full day training session, followed by one training event).
• Initial tier placement is dependent on experience and portfolio.
