Associates Wedding Photography Package
Associates Wedding Photography Package
2 photographers - 8 hours - $2500
What is a associate wedding photographer?
An associate wedding photographer is an alternative professional creative who is taking over my role of lead photographer at a wedding date when I am already booked. Indeed I mostly get booked 1 or 2 years in advance but I do still want to offer my expertise and skills to my couples. I would be taking care of the full planning, admin and full editing.
Associate shooters are also often photographers that prefer just to shoot the wedding without having them to edit due to personal preferences or just lack of time. Indeed, editing a wedding takes me a minimum of a few full days of work.
Many creatives are drawn to the art of wedding photography but have little interest in the business side of things. And the business (paperwork, consultations, advertising, planning…) takes easily more than 15 hours a week of work.
Another huge benefit is more safety and peace of mind for the couple. Let’s say you book a company’s associate photographer to shoot your wedding. Unfortunately they fall ill and cannot fulfill their duties. It is likely that another member of the team will be able to jump in at a moment’s notice to be part of your wedding day.

Is the associate package the same price as my classic package?
No, my associate package is lower than if I would be there shooting. This can be great for couples that love my editing style but are on a smaller budget.
Why is my associates' package lower than my main classic package?
This is not because these photographers are not as good as many people might think. This is because economies of scale are possible when there are multiple photographers working under one business owner. It is because they don’t have to bear the cost of running a business themselves, which is a lot (image storage, marketing, advertising, expensive editing computers, etc.) and time (bookkeeping, administration, social media, etc.). They just need to do what they do best (taking photos) and leave the rest for other business experts. Thus, this will be more cost-effective for them to work as a team.
Everything else is taken care of by me as a business owner. This includes the initial consultation through editing and delivery. An associate does not deal with sales consultations or customer service, but they have the opportunity to chat with the couple before the wedding if the couple wants.

When can you meet your associate photographer?
In my business my couples can chat with their associates close to the wedding date. Please keep in mind that an associate is not allocated to the wedding until a later date. It may not be possible at the time of booking to have the chat.
Due to high demand, during the peak-season, the minimum booking time is 8 hours.
