Event Photography
Some of the most important conversations happen in small rooms.
For small, private events
I photograph events where the people in the room matter more than the size of the crowd: typically 20 to 150 guests.
Dinners and receptions
Private dinners and receptions.
Award dinners and donor receptions.
Openings and visits
Ribbon cuttings, openings and announcements.
Invitation-only tours and visits.
Leadership gatherings
Leadership retreats, forums and panels.
What coverage includes
A planning call to go over the schedule, key guests and must-have photographs.
A selection of press-ready images the next day, for releases and same-week social posts.
The full edited gallery within five business days.
Use of the images for your website, newsletters, social media, annual reports and grant applications.
Discreet in the room, polished afterward
Coverage is quiet and unobtrusive: arrivals, introductions, conversations, speakers, details and the setting. Guests remain the focus of the evening, not the camera.
On-site headshots
A small headshot station can be set up in a side room for speakers, guests or staff, so everyone leaves with a current portrait.
Not offered
Weddings, large conferences and festivals.
Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should I plan?
As early as your date is set. Small events often fall on the same busy evenings, so earlier planning helps.
Can you photograph a two-part event, such as a dinner and a tour the next morning?
Yes. Multi-part events within a day or two of each other can be planned as one engagement.
Will guests be photographed without knowing?
Coverage is visible but quiet. If any guests prefer not to be photographed, share that on the planning call.
