Real Estate Photographer & Videographer (Experienced Freelance Contractor)

Company: Porchlight Media
Location: North New Jersey

Focus on Shooting. We'll Handle Everything Else.

Porchlight Media is one of New Jersey's fastest-growing real estate marketing companies, and we're looking for experienced real estate photographers who want to spend more time behind the camera and less time behind a computer.

If you're tired of editing photos until midnight, managing revisions, delivering files, chasing invoices, or constantly searching for your next client, we provide a better solution. Our team handles the editing, delivery, scheduling support, client communication, and backend operations so you can focus on what you do best: creating exceptional media.
