What we get hired for.

Corporate events

A call before the date, a shot list built off your run-of-show, and someone on the podium while someone else is on the room. Speakers, sponsors, the details you paid for, and the moments between them nobody scheduled.

  • Galas and fundraisers
  • Conferences and summits
  • Annual meetings
  • Award ceremonies

Executive headshots

We bring the studio to you and photograph thirty-plus people before lunch. Same light, same crop, same finish, so a new hire next year still matches the rest of the team.

  • Team days from $1,000
  • Individual sessions from $350
  • One retouched photo per person
  • New-hire matching later

  • Recap films
  • Interviews and profiles
  • Donor appeals
  • Sponsor reels

Ask about the booth

What full event coverage looks like.

Whole nights, not single frames. Open any event to see the gallery that came back from it.

How booking works.

Five steps from your first email to the finished gallery.

  1. Send the date

    The date, the venue, and roughly what you need. An RFP or run-of-show attachment works too.

  2. Availability & quote

    Within one business day: whether the date is open, and a quote scoped to your event.

  3. A call & a shot list

    Before the date we walk your run-of-show and build the shot list around it.

  4. Event day

    One team on photo and film. Larger events run with a second shooter and a film operator.

  5. The gallery

    The full edited gallery within five business days, with full usage rights.

What comes back from every event.

Most planners hand us a shot list, and the basics are the same whatever the event. This is the floor, before we add what makes your night yours.

Frequently asked questions.

Anything else? Write to us. We reply within one business day.

What does event coverage cost?
Every event is quoted individually, because a two-hour ribbon cutting and a four-hundred-guest gala with a video crew are not the same job. Tell us the date, the venue, the run-of-show and what you need the images for, and we will send a scoped quote, usually within one business day.
How far in advance should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for the autumn and spring gala seasons when dates go quickly. That said, we do take late bookings when the calendar allows. If your date is close, it is still worth asking.
How quickly do we get the photographs?
The full edited gallery arrives within five business days. If your communications team needs a handful of images sooner, tell us up front and we will agree a rush timeline in the quote.
Can you do photo and video at the same event?
Yes, and it is usually the better answer. One team covering both means the stills and the film tell the same story, and there is one point of contact on the night rather than two crews working around each other.
Do we own the images?
You receive full usage rights for your organization: website, social, press, annual report, donor decks and internal communications.
