The price on the card

First hour, extra hours, packages. You see it before you tap.

Booked in minutes

Pick a date and a time and pay by card, on the web or in the app. Some photographers confirm your date first, and you're charged only once they accept.

Paid through Stripe

Pay by card. If the photographer cancels, you get every dollar back.

How it works

Three taps between you and a photographer.

Everything a photographer would email you back and forth about is already on their profile.

1

Pick what you need

A wedding, headshots, an event, a listing. Tap a category and see who is available near you.

2

See the real person and the real price

Their work, their rate for the first hour and each extra hour, their packages, and whether they are free that day.

3

Book and pay

Choose the date, the time and the hours, on their page or in the app. Every dollar is listed before you pay. Pay by card.

Why SnapHire

Nothing hidden. That's the whole idea.

The total you see is the total you pay.

The photographer's price plus a 5% service fee, shown at checkout before you confirm. No booking fees, no surprises after.

Cancel fairly.

More than 48 hours before your session, you get a full refund. If the photographer cancels, you get everything back, including the fee.

Your chat, in one place.

Message your photographer in the app about the location, the outfits, the plan.

Your photos, yours to use.

Prints, social, your own site. The photographer keeps the copyright, you get the licence.

A search for newborn with no photographer yet and a Request a shoot button

No one near you yet? The app says so instead of pretending, and you can tell us what you need.

For photographers

Get booked. Get paid. Keep your rates.

Clients on Long Island and in New York City find you on SnapHire, see your price, and pay you through Stripe.

8% only when you get paid.

Nothing when you don't. No listing fee, no subscription, no lead fees. On big jobs it drops to 5% above the first $2,000.

Your rates, your packages.

A first-hour rate and an extra-hour rate, or all-in packages you build yourself.

Your days and hours.

Clients only see the times you open. Approve each request first if you want to.

Questions

The short answers.

What is SnapHire?

SnapHire is a website and iPhone app for booking local photographers and videographers in New York City and on Long Island. Each photographer sets their own price, and you book them on their page here or in the app. It is run by SnapHire LLC in New York, and it is not a recruiting or staffing company.

Is SnapHire free?

For you, yes. Looking is free, here and in the app. When you book, there is a 5% service fee at checkout, and you see it in the total before you pay. Photographers list for free and pay 8% on the first $2,000 of a booking and 5% above, only when they get paid.

What if my photographer cancels?

You get a full refund of everything you paid, including the service fee, no questions asked. We'll help you find someone else.

Can I cancel?

Yes. More than 48 hours before the session you get a full refund. Closer than that, the Help page has the exact rules.

Who owns the photos?

The photographer keeps the copyright, which is standard in professional photography. You get a permanent licence to use the images for yourself: prints, albums, social media, your own site. If you booked for a business, the licence covers promoting that business.

Do I need the app?

No. You can pick a time and book on a photographer's page here, from any phone or computer. The app is free on the App Store for iPhone if you prefer it.

Everything else is in the Help Center.
