EVENTS

Big event? Little event? Weirdly specific event? I’m in.

Corporate, celebratory, educational, romantic, unconventional—I’m equally happy photographing a packed room, an intimate gathering, a workshop full of people actually doing something, or a wedding that doesn’t actually look anything like a wedding.

I’m there for the energy, the personalities, the unexpected moments, and the stuff you’ll wish you’d remembered.

Basically: whatever you’re putting together, I’ll bring the camera and make it look slick.

Your people.
Your night.
My job.

Good events happen. Great photos prove it.

EVENTS
custom quoted based on your needs

What qualifies as an event?

Corporate events, networking events, workshops, launches, parties, fundraisers, engagement parties, intimate weddings, grand openings, private gatherings, and the wonderfully weird stuff that doesn’t have a proper category.

What do I photograph?
The obvious stuff, sure—but also the good stuff. People talking, laughing, making connections, speakers doing their thing, details you worked your butt off to pull together, candid moments, big reactions, little interactions, and all the things that happen when nobody is looking directly at the camera.

Do I have to pose everyone?
Nope. Unless you want a group photo or a quick portrait of someone important, I’m mostly documenting what’s actually happening. Posed portraits -if you need them- will figure into your quote. I’ll step in when direction is useful and disappear into the background when it’s not.

How much coverage do you need?
That depends entirely on the event but there is a 2 hour minimum. Maybe you need me for the minimum to capture the important bits. Maybe you need me there from setup until the last sip. We’ll figure out what makes sense based on what you’re actually trying to document.

And what do I get afterward?
A suite of polished, edited images that tell the story of your event and give you plenty of options to actually use them—on social media, your website, marketing materials, press, newsletters, or simply to remember what happened.

Basically, you throw the event.

I’ll handle the evidence.
