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 25-45 events a year to your calendar

How work is assigned :

You have full control over your availability - so you may book other gigs or even 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. So if you have another job, or you want to make weekend plans, your Amari shoots will be known well ahead of time.

Our one red line : once you are assigned an event, you are responsible for it. If some other opportunity comes up that you wish to pursue instead, you are responsible for connecting with the rest of 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 8-10 hours per event

Maintain quality and creativity of work, coupled with an easygoing, 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 thoroughly review them ahead of time

Back up and upload raw images & footage to Amari's servers in a timely matter, recognizing the importance and sensitivity of the data

Second shooter : 1-3 years experience filming and / or photographing, wedding experience not necessary
