Founder quote
“Vegas is the ultimate destination for nightlife and unforgettable trips, and people go home with nothing but blurry phone photos. Now anyone can book their own paparazzi in under a minute — and have real photos of it.” — Wes Wiedemann
Angles that work
The gig economy, for creatives
Photographers keep 60% plus tips, set their own hours, and get paid weekly — a marketplace model applied to a job that never had one.
The bachelorette economy
Las Vegas hosts more bachelorette parties than any city in America. Paparazzi is the photographer built for them.
Unedited, on purpose
Why the fastest-growing photo product delivers raw and sells editing as an upgrade.
From the velvet rope to the app
A decade of watching groups have the best night of their year — and leave without a photo — became the company.
