Wedding Videographer - Must live in the Greater Baton Rouge area

Tired of chasing clients, handling contracts, and spending endless hours editing? Love shooting weddings and events but want to focus on what you actually enjoy?

Join a established, high-volume team that’s coordinated thousands of weddings and private events.

At Complete Weddings + Events, we’re not your average vendor. We’re a fun, professional, and growing team that delivers extraordinary experiences for our clients while creating a great place to work. We’re selective and we only want driven, talented people with a servant’s heart who are passionate about people and love delivering amazing customer service.

Important Note on Schedule

This role is 90% Saturday evenings during our busy seasons (Spring and Fall). You must be available to work during college football season (including game days). If you can’t miss the big game or prefer a traditional Monday–Friday schedule, this opportunity is not for you.

Requirements

Must have (or be willing to obtain) individual event liability insurance (~$200/year)

Professional Video Gear (minimum standards):

Camera: 4K at 60fps minimum. Must perform well in both bright outdoor and low-light indoor conditions. Backup camera strongly preferred.

Lenses: One 24-70mm (or similar) zoom + one fast portrait lens (f/1.8–f/2.0) for detail shots and shallow depth of field.

Stabilization: IBIS in-camera and/or a gimbal (e.g., Zhiyun Crane, Ronin, etc.).

Audio: At least 1 wireless lavalier microphone + dedicated audio recorder. (On-camera audio is backup only.)

Reliable vehicle, valid driver’s license, and insurance

Available to work weekends, especially Saturdays in peak seasons

Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a team-first attitude

Willing to complete our hands-on training (we’re looking for long-term team members, not one-off gig workers)

What We Provide

• No client chasing — we handle marketing, booking, contracts, billing, and client communication
• No editing required — our editing team handles post-production to match your style
• Extensive ongoing training with experienced industry professionals
• Starting pay of $225 (2nd shooters) – $600+ per event (based on experience and performance). Average starting pay for a 1st shooter with minimal wedding experience for a 6 hour wedding is $400 and goes up as you work more events. If you have extensive wedding experience, starting pay is negotiable.
• Performance bonuses and growth opportunities
• A supportive, fun team environment with other wedding pros
