Be respectful of Kalvin and his partner videographer’ role as lead videographer. Assistants are expected to assist the videographer first, and shoot second. Make sure you stay with your Kalvin or partner at all times, unless instructed to do otherwise. Do not argue or undermine our partners at any time. If you have your own personal videography business, at no time throughout the wedding may you hand out personal business cards or mention your videography business name or try to pull clients. You may not drink alcohol or smoke during a wedding. If any of this happens it is grounds for immediate termination.
You are required to direct the clients for video poses, If you have a casual conversation with them, then conversation must be neutral, no religion, sexual or politics, and must be positive conversation.
Do not make a negative comment about anyone at a wedding, there is always someone listening and that thing you say will get back to the groom and bride.

If you do not live in Sacramento, you have to provide your own transportation. If you do not live in Sacramento, you are required to have your own transporation.
Since videography has alot of equipment, We recommend carpooling as a team. Please be aware of travel time due to traffic when commuting.
