Our Vetting Process
At Bushel+ Peck, we understand that choosing the right wedding photographer is an important decision for our couples. We take great pride in ensuring that every photographer associated with us has the passion, skills and experience necessary to capture the special moments of their wedding day.
Our Approach
We take great pride in our team of talented photographers, and aim to make working with B+P a great experience for photographers and in turn our photographers take lead in ensuring the client is taken care of and that we provide consistent quality of work.
Requirements
Upon inquiring about joining B+P, we require candidates to provide full-length wedding galleries that showcase their proficiency in low light and off-camera flash techniques, as well as other important skills like detailed layflats and posing couples. Once we’ve reviewed a candidate’s portfolio and any public reviews they may have, we conduct an interview to qualify the experience and understand their approach to capturing the unique moments of a wedding day and ensure that they are a good fit for our clients.
Photographers must maintain their own professional camera equipment, a variety of lenses, and lighting equipment. This ensures that they are always prepared to capture the perfect shot, no matter what the lighting conditions or environment may be.
Booking dates to work with B+P is simple!
*B+P does understand that photographers may choose to hold dates for personal bookings however we aim to have our photographers committed and assigned a minimum of 90 days out.
Following the event, you will upload all digital images to our Google Drive account and get paid same day.
All images captured for B+P as work for hire should be considered property of B+P including copyright. B+P also believes that couples have the right to privacy and it is totally up to them to allow us to use their photos at all; in which they may sign a release for limited web use to B+P. It gets hairy to provide someone else use of those images under a different business name and it can be confusing as well.
However, it is established in our contract that photographers may use the images in a PRIVATE PORTFOLIO, meant for offline use. This would be in form of print or a password protected gallery or private email would be fine as well, unless expressly stated.
As required by the IRS, businesses must maintain accurate documentation of employee and contractors including filing the appropriate tax documentation. Working for B+P as an associate or second shooter is considered contract labor and will require a W-9 for anyone who earns over $600 within a 1 year period. At the end of the calendar year you will receive a 1099 document from B+P that you will file to the IRS when you do your own taxes.
Additionally, at the time of acceptance, photographers working with Bushel + Peck Photo as a contractor for photography services sign an associate or second shooter agreement that outlines expectations and responsibilities of all parties and also accept project details of each individual job or event to reserve the date.
There is no official uniform or exact dress code for photographers working under the B+P name. However we expect photographers to use personal discretion and to dress for the event accordingly. Some clients may say, this is a very informal event, please wear jeans! or they may say, this is a black tie event etc.. Photographers should always wear appropriate shoes, pants without holes, collared shirts, or business casual blouses are acceptable. Please no graphic tees, low cut tops or skirts, garments that have holes or are dirty.
B+P understands that photography can be taxing and strenuous, especially in the heat! It is appropriate to wear more casual clothing such as shorts/ leggings and a solid shirt for the pre-ceremony items, then change before guests arrive.
We are sincerely looking forward to learning more about your business and how we can work together in the future! We thoroughly review those who we work with in effort to build relationships and refer to the very best that our industry has to offer.
