Event Photography
Two ways to bring real photography to your event. Documentary coverage that captures the day, or an on-site headshot booth that gives attendees a takeaway they’ll actually use.
Two Services
01
Documentary coverage of your event — the keynote, the panels, the candids, the moments.
02
A full studio brought to your venue. Attendees get a real professional headshot as part of the event.
Why Real Photography At Events
Every event you run is content for the next twelve months — recap reels, sponsor decks, social posts, website hero images, next year’s registration page. The photography determines whether that content makes you look like a serious operation or a Tuesday afternoon team meeting.
The marketing director hiring a photographer for a $100K conference shouldn’t be picking the cheapest option on a directory. The investment in coverage is small relative to the asset value over the year that follows.
Common Questions
How far in advance should I book?
3-6 weeks of lead time is ideal. Last-minute bookings (1-2 weeks out) can sometimes be accommodated depending on calendar — but the longer the lead, the more we can prepare around your specific event.
Can you do both event coverage AND a headshot booth at the same event?
Yes. Some events want both — documentary coverage of the keynote and panels, plus a headshot booth for attendees as a takeaway. This requires a custom quote since it’s effectively two photographers’ worth of work.
Where do you travel for events?
Chicagoland is standard. Anywhere in Northern or Central Illinois, NW Indiana, and Southern Wisconsin is regularly covered. Beyond that region — Mid-Atlantic, Texas, West Coast — travel is custom-quoted.
Are there minimums for event photography?
Yes. Event coverage starts at a half-day minimum. Headshot booths have their own minimums based on expected attendee count. Specifics on each service page.
Do you provide event photography for non-corporate events?
Generally no — the focus is corporate events, conferences, professional galas, and association events. We don’t cover weddings, family events, or social parties.
How quickly are photos delivered?
Event coverage: edited photos within 5 business days. Optional same-day social selects available for an additional fee. Headshot booth photos: delivered to attendees within 24-48 hours via online gallery.
