About Paperboys

Over the past TEN years, Paperboys has grown into one of the most sought after wedding videography and photography companies in the DMV and beyond. "How," you might ask? Simply put, it's all in "The Paperboys Way." We are consummate creative professionals, who find prfound joy in delivering an exceptional experience to our clients. In our experience, the technical stuff can be taught to anyone fairly easily. But

integrity ,

passion

and

a joyful demeanor

are at the heart of what it takes to thrive at Paperboys.

We value teamwork and camaraderie. As the saying goes, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." The wedding video and photo industry is filled with sole proprietors. Heck, that's how Paperboys started! However, we have learned that this work is more manageable and also a lot more fun to do as a team. We sharpen each other, we push each other - and we're stronger for it.

Our office is a collaborative space where creative professionals thrive. We have weekly peer review sessions, regular team outings, and celebrations of big wins. Even as we grow, we remain close‑knit and committed to supporting one another.

Whether your greatest strength is as a shooter, an editor, or in customer service, you'll grow in each of these skillsets at Paperboys. And as Paperboys grows, so too will the opportunities for team members to grow into new and even more challenging roles.

Paperboys is growing and looking for a driven Junior Photographer Videographer (aka Junior Production Associate).

About This Role Your job is to assist our Lead Videographers and Lead Photographers in delivering over‑and‑above excellence to their clients. Broadly, this means filming and editing weddings and events. As a Junior Photographer Videographer, you will:

Learn the "Paperboys Way" of shooting and editing, blazing your way through epic wedding highlight films, event films, photo galleries and other content

Be an incredibly strong “Second Shooter” and Live Stream technician for wedding and corporate events

Act as a Lead Shooter for lower level events, and act as a SWING Lead Shooter on wedding days. If one of us goes down (illness, injury, spontaneous combustion), you're ready to hop in!

Advancement opportunities: This position is designed to equip the Junior Photographer Videographer with the skills and knowledge they need in order to ascend the ranks to Lead Videographer/ Lead Photographer). On average, our motivated Junior Photographer Videographer have earned promotions to this next level within 12 to 18 months of being at the company.

About You You Want to Grow:

This is an entry‑level position ideal for someone with foundational skills in photo/video production who is looking to grow within the wedding videography and photography industry. Without exception, any team member that has worked at Paperboys has become a stronger shooter, a more efficient editor, and a more confident director and client care professional.

A teammate goes down, a Second Shooter drops out, a couple books last‑minute; you're ready to hop right in and save the day!

Our work comes in waves, and during the peaks, it’s a lot! This job requires mental AND physical discipline to deliver on‑time excellence to our clients.

Live events are not for the faint of heart. They require quick problem solving and, sometimes, being the calm in the storm for those around you.

It’s your job to win over everyone - from the timid brides to the George friggin’ Clooney’s of the world.

While many of our weddings are within the DC, MD, VA area, our presence continues to grow in the New Jersey, New York, Georgia and Florida markets, and so our teammates travel to these destinations 10‑15 times a year.

Your Life is Flexible

It sure would be awesome if folks got married on Tuesdays! Alas, what keeps us all gainfully employed is

WEEKEND WORK . You’re still guaranteed two days off per week, but most of the time they’ll land on Sunday and Monday.

Requirements

A college degree in a related field

1+ year experience in digital media

Experience with non‑linear video editing (DaVinci a plus!) and/or Lightroom

Start date: February - March 2026
