Great marketplace, payouts could be faster
Steady stream of quality bookings and the client briefs are detailed, which makes shoots easier to prep for. Payouts are reliable but I'd love a faster turnaround after a shoot is marked complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions people ask most before booking a shoot.
Think about the length of your event, how many edited images you'd like, and any extras that matter to you — like prints, an album, or a second photographer. Every service lists Basic, Gold and Premium packages side by side so you can compare, and if you're unsure our team is happy to help you choose.
Submitting a booking sends us a request — no payment is taken at that step. Our team reviews availability, matches you with a vetted photographer for your service and style, and confirms the details with you before your shoot is arranged.
You're welcome to share any preferences in your booking notes — including a photographer you've seen in our portfolio — and our team will do its best to accommodate them when matching you for your service, location and style.
Submitting a booking is a request, so no payment is taken at that step. Our team reviews availability and confirms your details, and any payment is arranged as part of that confirmation.
Yes. Because no payment is taken when you request a booking, reschedules are handled with our team on a case-by-case basis. Reach out through Support as early as you can and we'll help you find a new date.
All edited images are delivered to a private GG Online Gallery linked to your account — ready to view, download and share. You'll be notified as soon as your gallery is ready.
