How to become a Marriott-approved photographer
To become a Marriott-approved photographer, you must first apply online. Once you have been accepted, you will receive an invitation to submit your credentials and portfolio for review by the hotel chain to be considered as an official member of the Marriott Traveler’s Club Network.
The process starts with submitting your images through their application form on their website – https://marriotttravelersclubonline1-c-us.-com/about/. After that, they’ll need to review them within two weeks to ensure everything looks good before approving applicants’ applications!
Why you should apply
The Marriott Photography program is a great way to make some extra money and build your portfolio. It also helps you learn new skills, which will help you in the future.
The program is an excellent way for photographers who have been photographing weddings for years or even decades but are looking for something more challenging and exciting than just taking pictures at weddings.
Your portfolio
As part of the application process, they’ll have you photograph events and hotel rooms at various properties in your area. You can add that to your portfolio! It’s another way for you to show off what you do.
Additionally, if Marriott asks for photos of different areas or properties around town (for example a hotel bar), then make sure those are included as well!
As a local photographer specializing in weddings/events photography and working at one of these hotels, you’re already going above and beyond their expectations.
On this front, we know how much clients appreciate seeing behind-the-scenes footage from our shoots, so don’t be afraid to share those photos.
Conclusion
So, that’s it. Now you know how to become a Marriott Approved Photographer and the requirements for applying.
