I was so excited to work for Kapturly.  I love that I could bid on the jobs I wanted which is great for work-life balance.  The other nicety is that you don’t have to do any of your own editing, you just submit the raw files to them and they edit/deliver to clients.  And you can use your images to use as content for your own business which is a huge plus.  But, I feel that the pay should be higher.  They don’t seem to take into account the time spent on the shoots.  You, the photographer are responsible for reaching out to the client prior to the event.  They don’t always compensate for travel.  And then the amount of time it takes to upload the raw images to them is insane.  So you could be making $50-75/hour for a 5 hour wedding, but then when you factor in travel, gas, client call and uploading after they should be compensating way more.

When I saw some of the editing done on my photos that were delivered to the client, it made me cringe.  I didn’t want the couple to think that the editing was my work.  

The other thing that I don’t like is that management seems shady.  You never physically meet anyone and I’ve only ever spoken to one person on the phone.  They communicate everything through text and email.  When you call the number of “the manager” it takes you straight to a voicemail and a random other person calls you back.  I never knew who the manager actually was.  It kept changing.  

Also, my last and final experience with them was when they messed up my payment following a wedding.  I finally received it over a month following the event and I was really counting on the money.  

If they had a more legitimate management team and paid way more, I would have kept working for the company.  

This company only cares about making a quick buck for couples with a budget. 

-They do not pay invoices to their employees properly and their rates are highly inconsistent. Being paid for mileage and any rate changes isn’t communicated within the company so invoices are always wrong. 
-Communication isn’t clear to who you’re talking to and you don’t get answers when needed. You think you’re talking to one person and it’s someone else. 
-They don’t provide domestic jobs for editing and use foreign editors that have zero background with photography. The edits they provide are quick and Instagram-esque when it comes to photos. They slap a filter on the photos and call it a day. No editing for removing items, cropping or rotating is done. 
-Their videos don’t tell a story and are just thrown together. There’s no rhyme or reason to them. 
-They don’t provide correct tax info properly and take forever to fix. 

Everything you see on their site is what’s put together to gain employees and clients. Their actual final products are far from what they advertise. 

Kapturly is a terrible company to work for as a wedding videographer. They always have a problem with paying the full amount, and you have to email and text them repeatedly to remind them of your fee. They also make you communicate with the bride and groom about their needs and requirements, which they should do themselves. 

They are very slow and stingy with their payments. They only process them twice a month, so you have to wait for a long time after you do the wedding shoot to receive your money. And then you have to wait even more, because they use a service called Melio, which delays the deposit to your account.

Kapturly is so desperate to get bookings and they use price tactics to attract new clients.  This directly lowers the compensation to their contractors.  Often times the contractor willing to work for the least amount gets to book with a client.  This dismotivate anyone with the right skill and experience to work for Kapturly.  The client end up getting a poor product and experience.  It is a lose lose situation for everyone and for the industry.    

Horrible organization amongst the staff.  Horrible editing of final images delivered to clients.  Horrible communication with contractors.  This company is highly unorganized and commits lots of errors because of such.  Company does not pay out for hired rates.  They operate like a fast food restaurant.  You get what you pay for.  Low quality overall. 

I has to I has to threaten them to report Kapturly to the  California Attorney General to get my pay, they don’t like to pay. Also Kapturly don’t want to pay the right amount for travel pay.  Is not a good company to work for it.

I had been with Kapturly from the beginning and I love the heart of this company. They care about their clients and their artists. They pay above industry average rates and offer lots of opportunity. Great company. Great people
