The people, details and moments that tell the day

An event gallery should give your team more than a collection of isolated faces. We plan for an establishing view of the venue, your branding, key speakers, attendee interactions and the moments that explain the event. A clear priority list helps us be in the right place as the schedule moves.

Tell us which photographs you need for press, internal reporting or the next event announcement. Provide the run of show, important names and any group-photo requests beforehand. If permissions limit photography in particular areas, mark those restrictions before coverage.

  • Speakers, attendee interactions and event atmosphere
  • Planned group photographs and key details
  • Finished files delivered in a private gallery

Match coverage time to the actual schedule

Short Coverage starts at $800 for up to three hours and 75–125 edited images. Half Day starts at $1,400 for up to five hours and 150–250 images. Full Day starts at $2,250 for up to eight hours and 300–450 images. The quote confirms the work for your event; image counts describe the package's expected finished selection.

Additional coverage is $250 per hour. A second photographer, rush delivery and travel are quoted separately. For overlapping rooms or a photo and video brief, plan staffing explicitly so the main moments can be covered without competing demands.

A gallery your team can put to work

The published event photography scope includes commercial web, PR and social use. Let us know if you need another licensing arrangement or particular file specifications. Confirm the people who should receive the gallery and the person who can approve any requested changes.

Short and half-day galleries are delivered within 3–5 business days after coverage. Full-day delivery is within five business days. If a press deadline needs a small selection earlier, ask before reserving so availability and any rush scope can be agreed.
