Seeking Videographer – Wedding Coverage

Job Position(s): Seeking Videographer – Wedding Coverage

Jay is hiring a Videographer for wedding event coverage based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. This role sits squarely in the event videography space, responsible for capturing ceremony and reception footage across a single-day shoot with a four-hour call window. It suits a freelance videographer with live event production experience who knows how to work independently and deliver polished footage without a crew holding their hand.

About the Role

This is a one-day freelance engagement with Jay, covering a private wedding on June 27, 2026, in Mississauga, with coverage running from 3:00 PM through approximately 7:00 PM. The work falls within the event videography and live production workflow, requiring the operator to move fluidly between ceremony and reception environments and make real-time decisions about framing, exposure, and moment prioritization. There is no second shooter confirmed, so the hired Videographer needs to operate as a complete one-person unit from arrival through wrap.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate a professional camera rig throughout the ceremony and reception, capturing key editorial moments including vows, rings, first dances, and candid guest interactions.
• Scout the venue on arrival to establish camera positions that maximize coverage without disrupting the event flow.
• Manage all personal equipment, including camera body, lenses, audio capture tools, and any stabilization gear required for the shoot.
• Deliver consistent exposure and color throughout varied lighting conditions, including indoor reception and any outdoor or transitional ceremony spaces.
• Maintain a professional presence on a private event set, coordinating silently with photographers and other vendors as needed.
• Organize and hand off raw footage following standard wedding videography deliverable protocols agreed upon before the shoot date.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience in wedding videography or live event production, with a portfolio that shows real ceremony and reception coverage.
• Ownership of professional camera equipment suitable for event videography, including audio capture capability.
• Comfort shooting in run-and-gun conditions without direction from a producer or director on the floor.
• Reliability and the professional conduct expected on a private client event set.

Why This Role

Jay is bringing on a Videographer for a confirmed date with a clear scope, which means no ambiguity around the call time or deliverables before you commit. The four-hour format is a straight single-afternoon engagement, well suited to a freelancer looking to fill a summer date with a clean, well-defined wedding videography booking. Rates are negotiable and discussed directly through the application process.
