Can you recommend some event photographers?
Whether you need to show them at a marketing department meeting or you just want to file something for future reference, getting photographs of the various elements of an event (especially the efforts made to incorporate a sponsor) has become increasingly important to event pros. (And when we can’t make it to your event, we like to see photos, too.) However, there aren’t many photographers who shoot events on a regular basis, capturing details such as delicate hors d’oeuvres, elaborate lighting effects, or intricate flower arrangements. The good ones are quick about shooting an event before the crowds get in and can even snap pictures later without being intrusive. |

Staffers at the big agencies like WireImage and Getty Images can shoot more than celebs on the red carpet if you hire them to do so, as will the shooters from Patrick McMullan’s firm. And here are a few talented freelancers I see frequently at events:
Andrew Bicknell is quick and friendly, and can burn a CD of his images on-site. His client list includes Gucci, Anheuser Busch, and Glamour. Jeff Thomas of Image Capture is a trusted source for many planners and vendors, with years of experience shooting high-profile events. Jamie Watts is quiet and careful, and notices an event’s details as much as the overall look. Sara Jaye Weiss is flexible, relaxed, and unafraid to climb furniture to get a better shot. Weiss has traveled with clients like Wyclef Jean’s Yéle Haiti foundation and the W Las Vegas for a five-day promotion at the Sundance Film Festival.
Other photographers who regularly shoot events include Lev Heart at Guy Heart Photography, Roberto D’Addona, and Gruber Photographers.
