This October is the first time since 2019 that I can tell event season is well on it's way - I've had numerous enquiries for an event photographer required at functions. Everything from new site launches, company awards and team building activities to Christmas parties!
I can't wait to create beautiful candid photographs for my clients.
If you haven't yet booked someone to capture your event photography - here are ten quick tips to help you find the perfect event photographer:
- Who to book – ask colleagues/business contacts for recommendations. It’s always best to go with an event photographer someone has used before.
- Budget – don’t just book anyone with a decent camera. As the old adage goes……’you get what you pay for’. Get 2 or 3 quotes from recommended event photographers.
- Lighting - consider if your venue will be dark….will flash be necessary? You may not want flash going off at your event all the time!
- Portfolio – take a look at the event photographers’ portfolio. Do they take the kinds of event photos you are looking for?
- Photo sharing – will your event photos be available to share on social media? And how quickly can you get a few 'highlight' shots to post?
- Shot list – spend some time putting together a base list of ‘must have’ photos from your event. Eg – keynote speakers, important guests, detailed timings so your photographer can always be in the right place at the right time.
- Post event marketing photos – if you want to use the event photos afterwards to market your company, consider what sort of photos will be useful and add those to the shot list too.
- Equipment – If your conference is happening in a dark basement or a well lit room, make sure the photographer you use has the correct equipment necessary.
- Insurance – does your event photographer have professional indemnity and public liability insurance? You don’t want to be held liable if your photographer causes an injury or has his kit damaged/stolen at your event!
- Cut out all the stress of the above 9 tips and book me for your event photography in Berkshire, the Thames Valley and London. Take a look here to see more examples of event photos or call me on 07715 889457.
