How do I find a second shooter for a wedding?

Send a Crew Call from Find Crew in Booksui with the date, the hours, the city and the fee, and it reaches available second shooters who work in that city or region. They accept or decline, you choose who you book, and Booksui takes no cut of the rate you agree.

How it works

  • Open Network in your Booksui workspace and start a Crew Call: the role, the date, the hours, the city and the fee are stated before anyone is asked.
  • The call goes by email and inside Booksui to crew whose roles match and who work in that city or region; their profiles are seen only inside Booksui.
  • Each second shooter accepts or declines; you book one, and contact details are shared once the booking is confirmed.
  • Trust Passport badges show which identity, insurance and work checks are current, so you can weigh them for your date; they are optional for crew.

Honest limits

  • A Crew Call reaches only the people who have joined in that city or region, so where few have joined it may reach nobody yet.
  • Booksui does not pay crew or hold the fee: you pay your second shooter directly, on your own terms.
  • Image rights, file handover and exclusivity are between you and the second shooter; put them in writing before the day.

Steps

  1. 1Sign up for Booksui with no card and open Network.
  2. 2Complete your Network profile and start a Crew Call.
  3. 3Choose from the second shooters who accept, and agree the details directly.
