Frequently Asked Questions - Careers

• Incredible networking opportunities
• Build your portfolio
• Shoot more edit less (no editing required for Bella)
• Make money on the days you wouldn’t normally be shooting 

It depends on your availability and the market you shoot in. Our busiest shooters can do 25+ weddings a year for us. The average photographer generally does between 5 and 15 weddings every year for us.

 If you don’t get hired it doesn’t mean that we are closing the door on you entirely. Oftentimes we simply need more experience, different ranges of imagery explored, or a development and understanding of a range of varying styles to better fit within the brand. Once you fulfill some of these requirements and bulk up your portfolio, we gladly encourage you to re-apply in a few months and hopefully become part of the Bella team.

We believe firmly in creating a win-win-win situation for all the parties involved.  That is, nobody wins unless the photographer, the client, and Bella Pictures are all happy.  Our freelance photographer agreement respects and protects your ultimate ownership of the work that you produce, but also provides rights and protections for the clients’ and Bella Pictures’ interests in the images you create.  You will always retain the ability to use your images for your own promotional purposes, commercial use of your images will be permitted without your express consent.

We require our photographers to provide digital photographic equipment appropriate for covering weddings.  Bella Pictures has a list of approved equipment and file standards, which continues to expand as camera equipment changes.In general, our photographers provide:

• 2 Professional digital camera bodies
• 3-4 Lenses ranging from 24-200 with an aperture of 2.8
• 2 strobe units
