Associate Photographer Program
I’m excited to announce that I’m hiring associate wedding photographers. The associate role will involve being a lead photographer for Rachel Buckley Weddings and, if interested, second shooting for me when not booked with your own wedding. Being an associate for Rachel Buckley Weddings does not prevent you from having your own wedding photography business as we will work together to find available dates that fit your schedule. This is a great position for individuals looking to work part time, for someone who has openings in their schedule they want to fill, someone who isn't interested in running a business or someone who doesn't want to deal with editing.
A portfolio, professional equipment, and some experience is required. In order to shoot in our style you will receive some hands on training. We want to ensure you successfully give our clients the fun, joy-filled experience that we are known for!
