Event photography is a shot list delivered fast: the moments, the people and the sponsors a client needs, edited consistently and in their hands within days.
A strong event gallery covers five things: the room and branding before guests arrive, arrivals and networking, speakers and stage moments, sponsors and VIPs, and candid emotion. A shot list agreed in advance keeps the must-haves from being missed.
Most clients need two deliveries: a quick set of 20–50 highlights within 24 hours for social media and press, and the full edited gallery within 3–7 days.
Photography and video together cost less than hiring separately and look like one story, because the crews share lighting plans and timing.

|---|---|---|
| Coverage length | Key moments only (2–3 hours) or full event. | Full coverage for galas and conferences; key moments for receptions. |
| Lighting style | Available light, on-camera bounce flash, or off-camera flash. | Bounce or off-camera flash in dim ballrooms; available light for daytime and candids. |

| Delivery | Online gallery, download link, or live-to-social. | Private online gallery with download and favorites; same-night highlights when press needs them. |
