Ahh!! I can’t even believe we’re pressing PUBLISH on this post, but here we are, friends! Woohoo!!
You read that right… we are officially launching the Caitlin & Luke Internship Program this year! This is something that, 1., has been on our hearts to offer forever and ever, and 2., I wish had been around when I started my business back in high school! Those are just TWO of the millions of reasons we are so excited to be offering this opportunity in 2018! Ah!! 🙂
We’re searching for a few young, energetic photographers who want to experience what it’s like to be a part of the day to day life of a wedding photography business! We’re able to provide hands on experience in both the business and creative sides of managing a growing wedding photography business. Interns will join us for weddings, engagement sessions, and for some work throughout the week. We cannot wait to come alongside you and welcome you into our business in 2018!
Does this sound like you?! Here’s what you need to know!
We’re currently accepting applicants for a Summer 2018 Intern and a Fall 2018 Intern.
Due to the amount of interest expressed in these internships, we can’t say YES to every single individual who applies! We are looking for very specific individuals, and we have to make decisions accordingly.
