Guide to Hiring an Event Photographer

Hire the Right Person to Capture your Event

There is a saying that a photograph is worth a thousand words. It is worth even more when your talking about events. When your planning and doing events photographs brings the event to life, helps promote future events, and captures those moments that will make people want to come back for more.

The problem with event photography is that it can be quite costly. Ranging anywhere from $1300 to $4000 the pricing can add up quickly. Event photography though is more than someone walking around and taking pictures and then a week later getting them emailed to them. Event photography can be a photo booth with social media sharing. Event photography can be a social media wall where people take photographs and hashtag them up to a giant mosaic. Your event is important and that’s why it is important to hire the right person. This person could be working with everyone from spouses all the way up to the senior vice president.

6. Do you offer photo sharing opportunities for guest to view and share their photos on site?
