We have good news for this year’s graduates at the U-Dub, for birthday parties in Ballard, for real estate agents in Ranier Valley, and for the chronic instagrammers of Capitol Hill. In our first big move out of California, Snappr is arriving in Seattle to make life a little easier for photographers and the people who hire them.

Cool! What’s Snappr again?

Snappr is America’s fastest growing photographer marketplace. We connect professional photographers and people looking for them on our easy-to-use platform. Customers love us because we make it easier and more affordable than ever to hire a photographer with as little as 12 hours of notice. Photographers love us because we help them find and book clients without any of the hassle and expense associated with marketing yourself as a photographer.

After getting its start in Australia, Snappr arrived in the US in San Francisco, where we joined the Y Combinator class of W'17. We've been growing fast ever since.

Why is Snappr launching in Seattle?

First, it’s one of the best cities in the world (said your Bellevue Born and Bred writer) but, more importantly, Seattle suffers from the same problem that we hope to someday solve for everyone in the United States - a horribly inefficient marketplace for professional photographers. We were on the lookout for tech-savvy cities where we’d heard a lot of interest from photographers and customers who were interested in using a product like Snappr and Seattle fit the bill perfectly.

Why would I use Snappr?

Simple: if you want fantastic images of yourself, your family, or your next event, Snappr lets you book a talented photographer for as little as $59.

Who are the Snappr photographers?

Snappr photographers are local professionals who apply to join our platform. Because quality is critical to us, we accept just the top 5% of applicants. What remains is a super talented group photographers who specialize in a variety of disciplines - from product and newborn photography to profile portraits and pet pictures.
