(once like a spark) photography is a fun, young, and fresh wedding photography collaborative seeking new talent to join our team as we continue to grow in New England and Colorado!

We are looking for gifted, stylistically similar photographers in New England and Colorado to shoot weddings in and around the area, with opportunity for travel if it suits your schedule. Our studio manages all marketing, client communication, sales, editing, and post-production – you simply capture the event with your own unique perspective. Our agreement is not exclusive, and many of our photographers have their own successful businesses as well.

(once like a spark)‘s next catch will be passionate about their art, as well as the opportunity to join a dynamic and quickly growing team of like-minded artists and swashbucklers (….but seriously). We’ve managed to cultivate a very successful, mutually beneficial collaborative with teams of brilliant photographers in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, San Fran, San Diego, Colorado, Portland, New England, and Nashville. Our New England and Colorado markets are successful and thriving, which is why we’re looking for another crème de la crème in these areas.

We encourage you to check out our website at www.oncelikeaspark.com, our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/oncelikeaspark, and our blog at www.oncelikeasparkblog.com. Please be mindful that we are looking for new photogs that match the aesthetic and quality of our established team – if you think this is you, we want to hear from you.

The non-negotiables: you MUST have wedding experience, and a portfolio that includes at least one full wedding. If you think you fit the bill, please send us an e-mail that includes:

1. link to your online portfolio (sorry folks, no weddings, no consideration),
2. a brief recap of your experience in photography,
3. a list of your current equipment, and
4. a blurb to let us know who you are and what you are all about.

The deadline for application is August 10th, 2012. E-mails can be directed to coloradophotogs@oncelikeaspark.com or newenglandphotogs@oncelikeaspark.com, respective to your location.

Many blessings,

the (once like a spark) team
