Why crew payments become a mess
- Rates agreed verbally. What was promised for a Haldi versus a full wedding day is remembered differently by both sides.
- Payouts across months. Freelancers shoot in November and get paid in January without a clear record.
- Disputes cost relationships. The best second shooters stop taking your calls after one payment argument.
- Cost per booking unknown. Without payout records, real margin per wedding cannot be calculated.
Clear records, better crew relationships

- Payout tracking. What has been paid and what is pending per freelancer.
- Freelancer portal. Crew see their own assignments and confirm availability without DMs.
- Margin visibility. Crew cost sits against booking revenue so profitability is real, not assumed.
